Chapter 1273 A Desire Surges Within
Zephyr soaked the dry towel in hot water, then wrung it out and wrapped it around his hand to test the
temperature.
After making sure the temperature wouldn't scald Johanna's skin, they went out with the towel.
He sat down by the bed and lifted the blanket, revealing a pair of beautiful, slender legs. Ten delicate
and tender toes were exposed.
Johanna had always been on the slender side, even when she was pregnant with little Asel and had
fainted, she never really gained much weight.
Now that she was pregnant, most of the food she ate was absorbed by the baby for nutrition.
A few months ago, her belly was still flat, but as the sixth month approached, it finally began to show a
slight curve.
Zephyr gently pulled Johanna's left leg onto his own, placing a warm towel on her foot. The comforting
heat quickly spread, causing Johanna to relax and feel at ease.
Johanna relaxed for only a few seconds before her eyebrows furrowed again. “Why are you being so Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
nice to me?”
Even though it was her first time being tied up by Zephyr, he seemed gentle with her. However, he did
as he pleased, not caring whether she was willing or not. If she felt uncomfortable, it was the
housekeeper's responsibility to handle it.
But now, whenever she felt unwell, he would call a doctor and even use a hot towel to help her apply a
warm compress to her feet.
For some reason, she felt uneasy.
Zephyr looked up at Johanna, noticing her furrowed brows and the doubt on her face. “Have you
forgotten our conversation just now? If I didn't treat you well and ignored you, how could you possibly
fall for me?”
That explained why he was doing all this.
After the warmth of the towel had faded, Zephyr went back to the bathroom, turned on the hot water to
soak the towel, and then came out to apply it to her right foot.
In the following days, Zephyr was almost inseparable from Johanna, accompanying her every step of
the way.
He would have the kitchen prepare various nutritious meals for pregnant women for Johanna to eat.
When Johanna didn't want to chat with him, he would play audio dramas for her to listen to. The doctor
would check on Johanna twice a day.
Every night before going to bed, Zephyr would carefully take care of her by applying a warm towel to
her feet.
One evening after dinner, the doctor handed a bottle of olive oil to Zephyr, “Although Ms. Joule doesn't
show any signs of pregnancy yet, it's still a good idea to apply some olive oil to prevent stretch marks
from appearing on her belly in the future.”
Seeing Zephyr frowning, he seemed to not quite understand.
The doctor explained to him what stretch marks are and how to use olive oil for them.
Zephyr hummed in agreement, waved for the doctor to go rest, and then took the olive oil to the living
room. Johanna was lazily leaning on the couch, listening to the latest fashion news.
Zephyr sat down beside her and said, “The doctor mentioned that you should apply olive oil on your
belly to prevent stretch marks.”
“I'll do it myself.” Johanna reached out her hand toward him.
When Johanna was pregnant with little Asel, by the time she woke up, little Asel was almost due.
Thanks to Timothy taking care of her every day and applying olive oil on her belly, her stomach was
clean and smooth.
There was only a faint scar left from the cesarean section surgery.
Zephyr didn't give in, raising his eyebrows and smiling, he said, “You can't see it, so how can you apply
it well by yourself? Besides, is there any part of your body that I haven't seen before?”
The latter half of his sentence made Johanna's face darken abruptly, wishing she could slap him across
the face.
Zephyr didn't want her anger to upset the baby in her belly, so she asked the housekeeper to call the
doctor again. The doctor took the ointment from Zephyr's hand and sat down next to Johanna.
Johanna thought Zephyr had left, so she coldly lifted her shirt with a pout on her face.
Although Zephyr and Johanna had been sharing a bed these past few days, Johanna always seemed
to have restless sleep. Zephyr spent half of his time comforting her, leaving him no time to pay attention
to her belly.
Her waist was still slim, with only her belly forming a gentle curve.
Inside, a new life was being nurtured.
Zephyr stood by the couch, gazing down as the doctor gently applied olive oil to the woman's snow-
white belly.
Suddenly, he felt a strong desire to touch her belly as well.
It was said that babies around five to six months old already had some cognitive abilities. If a father
gently touched the mother's belly, the baby could sense it and would excitedly respond to the father.
He wondered if the little one would respond to him.
