Because I Was an and He Threw Away 132

Chapter 132 Touched Her 

Already feeling dizzy and disoriented from the fever, Emily only started to react when Ethan reached out. By the time she tried to protect herself, his hand had already slipped under her clothes. 

As a result, what Emily grabbed wasn’t just her own clothes but also Ethan’s hand. 

Reacting sharply and using force, she inadvertently pushed his hand deeper, right onto a sensitive area. 

Ethan’s hand was burning hot, searing Emily’s cold skin. 

She was completely dazed. When she finally came to her senses, she tried to let go of his hand, but Ethan beat her to the punch and said, “Emily, have you no shame?” 

Emily tilted her head up to look at him. Her cheeks were flushed a deep pink, and her eyes were hazy, as if she was still not fully awake. 

Ethan looked down at her, getting lost in her eyes as if being pulled into an abyss. 

At that moment, a bunch of inappropriate scenes flashed through his mind.

It was only in bed that Emily ever called him that way. 

Thinking of these things, Ethan forgot to pull his hand back for 

a moment. 

Emily’s face was as red as a tomato. Hearing Ethan’s words and seeing his hand still there, she frowned and growled, “Are you gonna let go? Have some decency!” 

As she spoke, Emily pushed his hand away and then wrapped the quilt tightly around herself. 

Ethan snapped back to reality, quickly pulling his hand back and saying, “I’ll go wake Sophie up.” 

With that, he hurried out of the bedroom without another glance at Emily. 

Just as he was leaving, the tips of his ears were bright red, as if stained with blood. 

All he’d wanted to do was check if Emily was still sweating, but he never expected to end up in this situation. 

Usually, in bed, it was just about getting the job done. This was the first time he’d accidentally touched that part of her body. 

Even though Ethan was no stranger to her body, that touch still threw him off balance.

he’d touched still felt hot.

She wasn’t sure what Ethan’s intentions were when he touched 

her, but she was certain he wasn’t doing it out of desire for her body. 

No matter what he was thinking, one thing was clear: he didn’t love her. 

Remembering she had to go to work, Emily struggled to get out of bed. 

After a tough morning routine of washing up, Emily changed her clothes and headed downstairs. 

Downstairs, Ethan was standing by the floor–to–ceiling window on the phone. It was still raining outside, but not as heavily as the day before. 

Emily just glanced at his back. She wanted to ask if Sophia was ready, but seeing Ethan on the phone, she kept her mouth 

shut. 

He didn’t seem to notice her arrival. On the phone, his tone was gentle as he said, “Don’t worry. I’ll handle the recuperation arrangement.” 

Just from the patience in his voice, Emily knew it was Nancy on 

the other end.

Just as she turned to go up, Ethan hung up the phone and saw her. He called out, “Emily Carter, wait.” 

As Ethan called her full name, his voice lacked any hint of warmth. 

Leaning on the staircase railing, Emily turned to face him. “What’s going on?” she inquired. 

Ethan approached, his figure blocking the light behind. Looking down at her, he stated, “I wanna ask about Sophie’s situation.” 

He’d made that mad dash back in the dead of night, originally intending to check on Sophia. But instead, he’d found Emily burning up with a fever. 

Therefore, he’d scooped her up and carried her back to the bedroom. 

Hearing Ethan show concern for their daughter, Emily nearly blurted out the question about where he’d been the previous night. However, she quickly realized the futility of it. 

The fact that he’d made a hasty return in the middle of the night was a clear sign that he still held their daughter dear. 

With a sigh, she suppressed the curiosity gnawing at her.

They’ve ruled out other serious conditions, so it’s nothing too alarming. But we gotta keep an eye on what she eats,” Emily informed him. 

Ethan’s brows knitted together. “What’s causing it, then?” 

“Eating spicy stuff, munching on snacks, guzzling down cold sodas, overeating, and having a wacky sleep schedule–these are all possible triggers,” Emily elaborated. 

Ethan nodded, his gaze dropping. “Gotcha.” 

Looking at him, Emily suddenly recalled something important. 

“Hey, Ethan, I was actually planning to talk to you about this,” she said.
