Chapter 16
Patrick was taken aback. There's no one else in the house. Is she all alone?
Gwendolyn croaked out weakly, “Water... Water...”
Patrick gazed at a bedside table before pouring her a glass of water. He then sat on the bed beside her and helped her up before feeding her some water.
It seemed that Gwendolyn was parched because she emptied the glass of water in a heartbeat. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Patrick then reached out to touch her forehead. His hand was cold, and Gwendolyn felt nice upon his touch. “Mmm...”
She then pulled his hand, placed it over her face, and murmured, “Hot... So hot...”
Patrick had noticed her scent the moment he entered the house. The whole house smells rather sweet, and it smells very familiar. Why can't I remember when I came across this smell?
He patted her face gently and asked, “Gwendolyn, are you in discomfort? I'll send you to the hospital.”
Gwendolyn was getting a tad more conscious after the gentle pats on her face. She opened her eyes and looked at him dozily. “No. I don't want to go to the hospital.”
With that, she wiggled off of his body and snuggled into her blanket. “Cold... It's so cold...”
This is not looking good. She's feeling hot one second and cold the next. However, she doesn't want to go to the hospital.
With that thought in mind, Patrick frowned before tucking her blanket in for her. He then whipped out his phone and rang Kevin.
The call was instantly answered. “Pat, how was last night?”
Kevin smirked. Since he brought Ms. Bunny back last night, he must've had a great night!
“She's having a fever. Her temperature is now one hundred and three degrees Fahrenheit. What should I do?”
“What? You worked so hard on her that she has a fever?”
Kevin was so shocked that he stopped having his breakfast abruptly. What did Patrick do to her? How did she end up having a fever?
In response, Patrick answered coldly, “Do you want me to show you?”
“No! No!”
“Tell me what to do, then.”
Kevin proceeded to tell Patrick how to deal with a fever. After that, he wanted to ask for more details about what had happened, but Patrick hung up on him immediately.
After hanging up, he glanced at the medication on the table. He picked up a bottle of fever medicine and took out a few pills based on the recommended dosage. He then went back to sit on the bed after pouring another glass of water.
By then, her face had turned redder, and she was drifting out of consciousness.
After patting on her flushed cheeks, he said, “Wake up, Gwendolyn. Take some fever medicine.”
Gwendolyn slightly opened her eyes and shied away. “No... I don't want to take medicine...”
At that point, Patrick's patience was wearing thin. What is she trying to do to herself? First, she didn't want to go to the hospital, and now she refuses to take her medicine?
An expression of displeasure showed up on the handsome man's face. That was his first time dealing with a sick woman. This is such a hassle!
He had no choice but to hold her up and try to shove the pills into her mouth.
To his dismay, the woman wasn't cooperative at all. She kept struggling and mumbling, “No... I don't want that...”
As she was squirming relentlessly, she accidentally caused all the pills to fall onto the ground.
Patrick was having none of it. He squeezed her cheeks and said, “Be more cooperative, Gwendolyn! Otherwise...”
He was stunned momentarily when he saw her cherry-like lips. Suddenly, his Adam's apple bobbed.
He then put the pills in his own mouth and kissed her. While kissing her, he pushed those pills into her mouth.
When she tasted the bitterness of the pills, she tried to spit them out. However, he was already pressing his tongue against her mouth, forcing her to swallow the pills.
Right then, Patrick was stumped. Her lips are so soft, and she tastes so sweet! Her mouth is so similar to the one I dreamt about!
Patrick was still kissing her because he couldn't resist it. He wanted to know if it was the same taste that he remembered.
His lips were tightly pressed against hers, and his tongue was lingering in her mouth.
