    Paul came just in time. So, Skr gave him a smile.


    He was a bit surprised to see Skr smiling.


    “Please give the medicine to Mr. Martin now,” Skr said.


    Then, Paul immediately poured the liquid medicine as instructed. When he handed it to <i>Joe</i>, he said, “<b>Mr. </b>Martin, this one tastes pretty good. It has <i>a </i>fruity taste. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    He had chosen from several options, and this one seemed to be the easiest to drink, something even kids would.


    “Fruity?” Skr was curious.


    The medicine had a fruity vor?


    She then stared at Joe. But the more she looked, the more she couldn’t hold back. In the end, sheughed.


    It seemed Joe was even more difficult to deal with than a child. He needed to be coaxed to take medicine, and it had to be something without a strong aftertaste.


    Joe’s face darkened as he looked at Skrughing. Then, he cast a cold nce at Paul. That look made Paul’s heart skip a beat.


    He wondered if he had done something wrong.


    Probably not.


    Hopefully not.


    Joe noticed Skr was stillughing. So, his ears started to turn red. He grabbed the medicine from Paul and downed it in one go while keeping his eyes fixed on her.


    He couldn’t really taste anything, but an odd feeling in his mouth made him ufortable.


    Skr then handed him a ss of water. “Drink some water, it’ll make your throat feel better.”


    Joe looked at the ss before him, <i>the </i>


    at Skr, before taking it and sipping the water slowly. The warm


    water really eased the unpleasant feeling in his mouth.


    “Well, Mr. Martin, Mrs. Martin, I’ll head out now. If you need anything, just give me a call.” Then, Paul quickly made his exit.


    With Skr there, he didn’t have to worry anymore.


    Before either of them could respond, he had already closed the door behind him.


    Now, it was just Skr and Joe in the room.


    Joe felt a little dizzy from the fever but still couldn’t sleep. With Skr there, he knew he didn’t want to just settle for less. He knew he would sleep better if he could hold her.


    “It’s gettingte. Let’s sleep,” Joe said.


    Skr nced at the time. It was indeedte. “Okay, I’ll take a shower first.”


    “No need.<b>” </b>


    Joe grabbed Skr’s wrist and pulled her straight onto the bed.

    She didn’t expect him to still have the strength to pull her since he was sick.


    “I need to change into my pajamas,” Skr said helplessly.


    How could he be so clingy when he was sick? He wasn’t like this before.


    But after she spoke, there was no response from Joe Looking more closely, she realized he had already closed his eyes and was practically glued to her.


    His body temperature was still high. So, after just being hugged for a while, she felt herself starting to


    sweat.


    She had just returned and hadn’t even changed into her pajamas, but he didn’t seem to care and had fallen asleep right away!


    Fine, he was sick, after all. So, she wouldn’t argue with him. Besides, Skr was really tired, too.


    In just a few minutes, the room was filled with their steady breathing.


    Later that night, Skr woke up once more, feeling groggy. She noticed that Joe’s body wasn’t as warm as before. So, she drifted back to sleep again.
