Chapter 1282: Slap Me Twice Again

Nelson caught the subtle tone and chuckled softly. Callie repeated her words, one by one, her voice steady. She reached out, lifting his chin to force him to meet her gaze. “It’s really nourishing. What’s wrong with your body?” Nelson allowed her actions, like a cat being stroked the right way. “She’s exaggerating. It’s really nothing serious.” “You care about me, huh?” Callie flung his hand away, her expression turning heavy. “I just don’t want my child to live in fear. If you won’t say it, then I’ll go ask Allyson Fisher.” With that, she moved to get up, but Nelson grabbed her wrist and pulled her effortlessly back into place. Now, she was sitting on his lap. “It’s just occasional insufficient blood flow to the heart,” Nelson said lightly, as if it were inconsequential. “Sometimes I get short of breath, but taking medicine helps. See? I’m perfectly fine now.” He spoke as though it truly didn’t matter, his tone deliberately soft, with a hint of appeasement.
