Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 188

swnovels.com Seeing as Henson didn't speak up, Wendy spoke up on his behalf instead. "He had some spicy food in the afternoon. The REALLY spicy kind," she said nervously.

Donald the Butler gasped, "Wait, Master Henson can't handle spi-" 

"It's fine, no need to kick up such a fuss," Henson interrupted before he could finish. "What should I do about this, Doc?" he asked while turning back to the family doctor.

"I've already prescribed you some fluids to help alleviate the pain, Master Henson," the doctor said.

"Alright," Henson replied.

She felt a wave of guilt wash over her while she sat at the side. She only wanted to get back at him, but didn't expect it to turn out like this. Now, she was the one who harmed him. 

He turned to look at her guilty face once the doctor finished strapping him to an IV bag.

"All of you can take your leave first. Miss Evans alone should suffice at this time," he then ordered to everyone in the room. 

She continued staring at him in silence as everyone slowly left the room. She felt awful.

"Will there be a next time?" he asked calmly.

She shook her head profusely at that. "I really didn't think you'd turn out this way after having spicy food. I promise never to get back at you ever again," she muttered.

He then lifted a finger to poke the space between her eyebrows. "Now, now, no one's blaming you for anything, so no need to be upset about it anymore. It's not like you forced me to eat it too. It was me who wanted to act all cool in front of you," he said.

Teary-eyed, she lifted a hand to slap him on the shoulder. "Despicable. Why'd you front that you could handle your spice in front of me when you actually couldn't? Is this all a joke to you?" she huffed.

"It is," he said with a devilish grin.

"Despicable. You'd better stop laughing," she replied. She never intended to hurt anyone in her life, so it felt worse to unintentionally hurt someone who'd treated her so well like that. 

"Fine, fine, I'll stop. Please don't be mad at me anymore. I feel totally fine right now,"  he assured her as he clasped both her hands tightly.
