As he carried the wet handkerchief close to her shoulders, his gaze went to the wedding chain around her neck. He thought that if he untied the wedding chain around her neck, she would feel better. Because that chain was rubbing on the layer of Rash.

He changed her sitting position a bit and turned her completely towards him. He pulled her entire hair on her other shoulders with his left hand. He then placed her head on his chest and took his hand on her nape to open the hook of the wedding chain. He took the hook in his hand and as he was about to open it, Avery pushed him and looked at him with her teary eyes.

"Why are you removing my chain?" She puffed her little red nose.

"Love, this chain is rubbing on Rash. It will hurt more. Let me remove it."

"No! You can't." She shook her head. "Once this wedding chain is worn, it is not right to remove it."

"But?"

"Please Alex." She looked at him hopefully.

He could not refuse her pleading eyes. "Ok." He sighed and started patting the wet handkerchief gently on her shoulder. There were scratch marks of her nails on the layer of rash which made that place more painful.

"Did you eat anything today that you have an allergy?"

"No."

"Hmph" He narrowed his eyes, looked closely on her shoulders and thought something. Later, then he ran his fingers over his cheek and realised that he had not shaved today. He realized that rash on her shoulder was due to the piercing of his beard. He felt guilty that she was in pain because of his little mistake.

"How are you feeling now?"

"Although it feels better than before, it still hurts."

"I think it would be better to go to the hospital for this."

.....

Avery was in the checking room with the female doctor and Alex was waiting for her in the doctor's office with his arm was folded on the arm of the chair and his face was placed on his palm.

After a checkup is done, the female doctor put ointment on her shoulders and neck and told her to take a rest for a while.

She came into her office and sat down on a chair.

"Miss Hill, how is my wife?" Alex asked her with a grin on his beautiful face.

"Sorry, Mr Hill but don't forget I'm not Hill anymore. And the only advice I want to give you, next time, if you want to kiss your wife, please shave. Your wife's self is very delicate." She paused for a moment while looking into his blue eyes and again continued, "I didn't think it was appropriate to inject her because of her pregnancy. This ointment will give her relief from rashes till tomorrow." She said sliding the ointment towards Alex on the table.

He took that ointment and said,

"Can I go to get her?"

"Sure, you can." Alex got up from the chair and went into the checkup room. He saw Avery lying on the bed with her eyes closed. He approached her and put his hand on her cheek.

When she felt a warm touch on her cheek she opened her eyes. "Alex." She muttered and clutch his shirt in her fists after placing her hands on his abdomen.

"Yes, my love." He lowered his body and brought his face closer to hers.

"You didn't tell me that your cousin is a doctor." The one who treated Avery was Alex's cousin with whom Avery first met at the Hill mansion.

"I didn't think it was important to tell that." He put his hand in her hair and began to rub her scalp. The faces of the two of them were only an inch apart and they were looking into each other's eyes. Soon after she felt shy under his gaze and she turned her head. "We should leave now." Her cheeks were creamy red and she was trying so hard to hide her blush.

"So Let's go now." He helped her get out of that high bed and took her to the doctor's office.

"Now all it's over, so we're leaving." He said looking at his cousin who was sitting on her chair and writing something on the letter pad. "Ok." She said looking up through her glasses and getting up from the chair. She approached them and handed him a piece of paper. "I have written on this paper all the foods that will be more suitable for pregnant women. And since Grandma Kim is there, you don't have to worry too much about Sister in law."

Avery had been vomiting a lot since she became pregnant. She could not digest anything and was coming out in the form of vomit. She had also lost weight. Since Alex was very worried about her, he asked his cousin for a list of all the foods she could digest easily.

His cousin was the mother of a child along with a doctor. After giving the list to him, she turned to Avery and hugged her. "I will come with my husband to visit you when I have free time." She said as she broke the hug.

"No need!" Alex let out quickly so that they both turned towards him.

"Why bother, am I not welcomed in your home."

"No, it's not like that. you are but not your husband." Alex tilted his head upward putting one hand in his pocket while other on Avery's lower back, holding her very close to his chest.

"Brother, Don't forget he is my husband and I love him very much. So he has all right to come with me." She teased Alex.

"Whatever!" He said sarcastically and left from there taking Avery with him.

.....

Ethan was holding a one-year-old girl in his arms when Alex and Avery came out. Avery was surprised to see him so happy with the girl because she was the daughter of Alex's cousin. He was pampering her like his own daughter.

When Ethan's eyes fell on his boss, he handed the little girl to the caretaker who was standing next to him and quickly approached Alex.

"Boss."

"We have to leave," Alex said without looking at him.

"Yes boss," Ethan answered very politely.

Alex took Avery and started walking away. As Alex walked away from there Ethan quickly opened the door of Alex's cousin's office and went inside.

She was standing on the side of the wall with a file in her hand when Ethan went inside. She had no idea that he had slipped into her cabin.

Ethan quickly moved closer to her and immediately cupped her face and pressed his lips on hers.
