His sudden action startled Summer Shawcross, and she quickly shrank back, avoiding his large hand, glaring at him with displeasure.
"Don’t touch me!"
Her resistance left Noah Drexler’s hand frozen in mid-air.
Seeing her wary expression, he furrowed his brows tightly.
She seemed... particularly afraid of his touch.
What exactly had happened?
His expression turned increasingly serious and heavy.
He indeed couldn’t figure out what had happened to her during the time he hadn’t been watching her.
...
Noah was sitting next to the bed, very close, and she could practically smell the reassuring scent from him.
Her heart flustered again and she quickly pulled the quilt tight to wrap herself completely, then bit her lip to drive him away.
"Hurry up and get out!"
Her anxiety and drive to push him away revealed a trace of helplessness on Noah’s face, and the next second, he ignored her resistance and suddenly lowered his head.
Summer Shawcross was startled and wanted to push his hand away, but he held her down.
The man lowered his head, resting his forehead against hers.
"Behave!" His deep voice sounded by her ear.
Feeling the temperature on her forehead, Noah’s expression darkened, and a touch of tension appeared on his face.
Her forehead was very hot...
Was she having a fever?
However, as he lowered his head, measuring her temperature forehead-to-forehead, Summer froze.
A moment later, Noah slightly raised his head, separating his forehead from hers.
But when he lowered his eyes and saw her painful expression, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath and asked her nervously.
"Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"
"No, I’m not uncomfortable, just get out..." Summer bit her lip and said painfully.
He pressed his thin lips without speaking, then suddenly squinted, lowering his eyes to scrutinize her carefully.
After a long time, he finally discovered her anomaly.
"Did you eat something strange?" He pressed his thin lips and continued to ask.
"It’s none of your business, just get out." Summer blushed, her vision already beginning to blur.
"I’ll call a doctor right away!" Noah said sternly, taking out his phone as he spoke.
Seeing him take out his phone to make a call, Summer was startled and quickly reached out to stop him.
"No need!"
If a doctor came today, her reputation would be gone for good!
Too embarrassing!
Her unusual reaction made Noah frown, lowering his gaze, watching her... for a long time.
After a long time... that handsome face finally showed an enlightened expression.
Recalling the butler’s hurried expression when he had come to find him earlier, he seemed to have a rough guess.
And it now seemed that the matter was likely consistent with his guess.
A few seconds later, he suddenly lifted his hand, took off his suit jacket, and tossed it off the bed.
Then, his slender fingers began to unbutton his shirt.
Seeing his actions, Summer was startled and quickly asked him.
"What are you doing?"
"Helping you relieve your pain," Noah said seriously, pursing his thin lips.
Hearing his words, Summer’s expression changed, suddenly expressing some worry.
"I don’t want you, get out!"
After she finished speaking, Noah furrowed his brows tightly, his face growing colder and more chilling.
