The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 488 The Baby Is Lucky

The doctors and nurses trailing behind Yuvan all treated him as if he were a god who could truly bring the dead

back to life.

Even though Cayden had faith in Yuvan's skills, he still couldn't help but feel nervous.

“How is Avery doing?”

Yuvan yawned casually and said with a smile, “Don't worry. With me around, she'd make it back alive even with one

foot in the grave. Your baby is safe and she can keep both of her legs. How's that for a good job?”

“Thank you, Yuvan,” said Cayden from the bottom of his heart.

He was usually a reserved, aloof person who rarely expressed gratitude to anyone. However, he had already

thanked Yuvan multiple times for Avery's sake.

Yuvan felt a little taken aback by Cayden's sudden sincerity and clicked his tongue. “Wow. What a surprise to hear

you thank me.”

Cayden was in a pretty good mood considering the good news he had just heard, and he was more than willing to

heavily compensate the man who had just saved Avery's life. “I'm willing to give you anything you want as long as

it's within my means.”

The nurses wheeled Avery out on a hospital bed before Yuvan had the chance to reply.

She was still unconscious after her surgery.

Cayden felt as if a heavy rock was weighing on his chest the moment he saw her.

He couldn't help approaching her, wanting to caress her soft cheek, but Yuvan stopped him in time.

He glanced at Cayden disapprovingly. “She just got out of surgery, which means she's super weak right now. You

have no idea how many germs could be on your hand, so it's better that you stay away from her for now.”

Cayden lowered his hand sadly, not knowing what else he could do. That was the first time he did not get mad when

Yuvan took a dig at him.

His heart clenched at the sight of the soft, graceful woman he loved so dearly lying right in front of him, so weak

and frail.

“Mr. Moore, we'll be sending Ms. Rumpley to her ward first,” a young nurse said quietly.

She eyed Cayden shyly, admiring his charming face and silently envying Avery for her luck to have such a

handsome man fall in love with her.

Everyone in Ackleton had heard their love story before. While no one was sure which parts were true and which

were false, their fairytale-like story was still one to be envied.

“I'll bring her there,” Cayden offered, reaching out to grab the handle of the hospital bed as he tenderly looked at

Avery.

He then personally pushed her all the way to the ward.

The envy and admiration in the nurses' eyes intensified. They had always seen Cayden as the cold-hearted, aloof

CEO of Trident Group, and they found it hard to associate the man with such a tender, loving image. They had

never come across a man who offered to personally bring his wife to her ward before.

Yuvan shook his head as he watched Cayden push Avery to her ward, his figure emanating an unwavering aura.

He has definitely fallen head over heels for her. He's so deeply and hopelessly in love.

That night, the moon's gentle light seeped through the windows of the ward.

It was quiet inside the ward. The oxygen generator was buzzing feebly as Cayden's loving gaze remained fixed on

Avery's face.

He stood in front of Avery's bed. His tall, lean stature left a shadow that was stretched even longer by the lights, so

much so that it covered Avery completely.

At that moment, he was no longer his aloof and indifferent self. His deep-set eyes were locked firmly on Avery and

his gaze traveled to her dry, cracked lips. After a long pause, he dipped a cotton bud in some water and lightly

dabbed her lips with it.

Her lips had always seemed soft and moist like a ripe, delicious cherry, and they were never as dry as they were

now.

Cayden sat down beside her bed and tucked her in before lifting her left hand and kissing it gently.

Her nails were as pale-looking as her face was.

Yuvan walked into the ward with the hospital director behind him.

After greeting Cayden, he began checking on Avery's condition before starting to note down all her vital signs.

With a smile, he began to say, “Your baby is really lucky. Normally, an accident that serious would not only cause a

miscarriage, but Avery would also have to undergo curettage to get rid of some of her uterus lining. She isn't the

healthiest, and if that happened, she might have issues conceiving in the future. However, surprisingly, your baby

survived.”

Yuvan was rather shocked.

Logically speaking, the baby shouldn't have survived after Avery was involved in a car accident that severe, but the

baby had such a strong will to live that he or she miraculously survived under Yuvan's efforts.

Cayden's tall body finally moved in response after staying still for so long.

His large hand gently caressed Avery's stomach, and his gaze turned tender as he looked at the slight bump under

the blanket.

He swore to himself that he would shower this baby with more love once he or she was born. After all, the poor

child had gone through such a tragic mishap before even being born.

“Thank you for what you did today,” Cayden said to Yuvan, his gaze full of gratitude. “When will she wake up?”

Yuvan smiled brightly. “Don't worry. She'll wake up tomorrow by the latest. But I am indeed exhausted today. I had

to rush all the way here when I was just done with a major surgery overseas just because you gave me an

emergency call. I've been busying around nonstop, and I'm so tired that I feel like I'd collapse at any moment. I

would love it if you could repay me. Maybe with a sweet, juicy kiss—”

“Okay, you can get lost now!” Cayden said with a frown as the gratitude in his gaze slowly faded.

Yuvan chuckled. “I see. You're throwing me away now that you're done using me? How cruel.”

“Um, Dr. Sotheby, are you free tomorrow? Could you take just thirty minutes in your schedule to discuss academic

questions with me?” asked the esteemed hospital director carefully, behaving like a subservient lackey around

Yuvan.

His expression was full of admiration and respect for Yuvan.

He was a very well-respected doctor both locally and internationally with many qualifications under his belt,

resulting in his stubborn and proud character. That day, however, he knew what it was like to be outperformed by

someone. As the saying goes, there will always be someone better than me.

What surprised him even more was the fact that Yuvan looked like he was barely thirty. The latter was truly

impressive for being so skillful despite his young age.

But, with such skills and prowess, I wonder why I've never seen him before at medical events. The hospital director

was naturally puzzled.

Yuvan smiled gracefully at the director. “You don't have to be so courteous around me. I'm just a regular doctor.

Also, my surname isn't Sotheby, it's Powell.”

A lot of people addressed him as “Dr. Sotheby,” and he was so used to it that he didn't find the need to correct

them anymore.

His real surname, however, was Powell.

It was extremely rare for him to bring up his real surname, though. After all, it was part of the dark, somber past

that he was reluctant to reveal.

“Avery's condition is quite stable, so you don't need to worry about her. I'm going to go take a nap. I'm literally

about to collapse,” Yuvan said before covering his mouth and yawning as he left.

The hospital director trailed behind him, trotting along like a happy puppy.

After their departure, Cayden's gaze suddenly darkened as the atmosphere in the room dropped rapidly. Who in the

world has the audacity to harm my wife? Whoever they are, they clearly have a death wish.
