Alexis had just been delivered of the baby when she and the baby were both sent to the observation room. They had to stay there for two hours before they could return to the ward.

Her family members were not allowed to go inside to keep her company, so Justin could only sit right outside the observation room.

Scarlett gave a yawn. Raymond looked at her, lifted his hand and tucked her stray hair behind her ear. "Are you sleepy?" "A little." It was 11 p.m. Scarlett and Raymond had stayed in the hospital for almost ten hours. Even at ordinary times, Scarlett would be drowsy at this hour, not to mention she had kept Alexis company for a whole day, consumed with apprehension from start to finish.

Scarlett gave another yawn immediately after making a reply.

At that time, her cellphone rang in her handbag.

Scarlett looked at Raymond. He released her hand to let her get her phone.

Scarlett pulled out her cellphone and glanced at the caller ID.

The call was from Justin.

"Scarlett, it's me.

"It's getting late. You and Mr. Shaw should go back. Alexis is exhausted. Even if they get her out of the observation room later, chances are that she'll sleep all night." Justin had composed himself. He sounded much cool-headed now.

Scarlett's lips curved in a smile as she recalled him asking the nurse repeatedly whether Alexis was asleep just now. "Okay, | understand. I'll come back here tomorrow morning." "Okay." After hanging up, Scarlett smiled at Raymond. "Let's go back." While speaking, Scarlett failed to notice the staircase beneath her feet. She skipped a step and toppled.

Raymond beside her quickly flung out an arm, wrapped it around her waist and swept her into his embrace to steady her. "Did you sprain your ankle?" Scarlett lowered her head to look at the staircase, looking a little embarrassed. She shook her head. "No." If Raymond had not supported her, she might have sprained her ankle.

Raymond glanced at her and scooped her up in his arms.

Scarlett twined her arms around his neck, feeling rather shy. "We're in a public place." "Our relationship is under the protection of the law." Scarlett smiled and pressed her cheek against his chest. She did not reject him.

It was legal. She had nothing to fear.

But there were few people in the hospital at this late hour. Raymond carried her out of the building of the hospital. On their way to the parking lot, Scarlett and Raymond were the only two under the street light.

The parking lot was very quiet as well. Raymond settled Scarlett in the car. A vehicle drove inside through the entrance. Its high beams dazzled Scarlett momentarily.

Raymond turned sideways to shield her against the glare.

Scarlett looked up at him. Raymond was standing with his back against the light. The beam of light from the distance shone on his back. Scarlett recalled that when she was fifteen years old, he had done similar things as he rescued her from those people. So many years had passed. Raymond seemed to have changed, but he also seemed to have remained unchanged.

Presumably because she had witnessed the birth of a new life and it had tugged at her heartstrings, Scarlett slightly pressed her lips together. She rose and planted a kiss on Raymond's lips.

Raymond looked at her. The expression in his dark eyes changed noticeably. The next second, he directly lifted Scarlett's chin and pressed his lips against Scarlett's rosy ones.

The sedan with its high beams on drove past their car. Scarlett's heartbeat was a little quicker than usual.

Raymond was carrying her in his arms, making the car cramped and stuffy.
