Chapter 1499


    The heavy snow never stopped. It was as though someone in the sky had forgotten to turn off the


    switch. There was another round of snow falling. In the rescue area, new supplies were delivered,


    and new volunteers rushed over to help. In the chaos, one person became everyone''s hope. That


    was Joseph.


    Under such harsh conditions, Mr. Vice—President apanied them in resisting the cmities of


    nature. This kind of feeling, no matter how cold the wind and snow were, would still be warm.


    With thebined efforts of both the military and the civilian, there was only one disaster area left.


    There were no direct roads there, and the traffic was blocked. Only airnes could be used to


    transport manpower and material resources to assist in the disaster area.


    Joseph Grant urgently held a meeting to discuss how to rescue them, and immediately sent people


    to carry it out.


    Alvina and Zoey''s work also did not stop for a moment. After Victoria caused trouble, she also


    silently went to find something to do. She wanted to leave, she couldn''t stand the damn weather


    here, and she definitely could not endure the filth of this ce. From the looks of it, she would not


    be able to bathe tonight.


    Her original n was to catch a cold, then let Joseph Grant take pity on her so that she could enjoy


    his tender care and concern.


    However, she had underestimated her body''s condition. Until the second day, she was still alive and


    kicking, with not the slightest sign of catching a cold. On the contrary, Alvina''s body was much


    weaker. She had fever.


    Alvina realized that something was wrong with her body, but she did not put it to heart. She only


    thought that she did not have enough rest, so she felt dizzy and weak, and continued to persevere.


    Suddenly, Zoey, who was sitting beside her, turned to look at her, only to realize that she was


    blushing red. She asked: "You are face is so red. Are you fine? "


    Alvina shook her head: "I''m fine!"


    "Do you want to take a rest? Another group of people came just now, and we have enough


    manpower. Don''t try to show off, hurry up and go sit down to sleep!" Zoey persisted even more as


    she reached out to help her.


    "Alright!" After Alvina heard that there were enough people, she finally stopped insisting. She ced


    the things that she had organized by the side, and the moment she stood up, she fell to the side in a


    daze.


    "Alvina!" When Zoey saw her, she turned pale with fright and quickly reached out to help her steady


    herself.


    "My legs are numb!" Alvina could not help but let out a bitterugh.


    However, Zoey felt that it wasn''t just a matter of the numbness in her legs. She quickly reached out


    and pressed her hand against Alvina''s forehead, immediately bing rmed. "You are so hot. "


    "Is there? I''m probably a bit busy!" Alvina also reached out her hands to touch her forehead, but she


    couldn''t feel anything.


    "Come, I will bring you to see mister!" Zoey was extremely anxious, she ignored everything and


    grabbed her hand, walking forward.


    Only now did Alvina feel that she had caught a cold. Turns out, it wasn''t because she was busy, but


    because she was sick.


    Victoria had been paying attention to Alvina''s movements the entire time, and seeing her being held


    by Zoey and walking towards Joseph Grant''s temporary office, she was so jealous that her eyes


    turned red.


    After Zoey knocked on the door, she immediately pushed Alvina in. She anxiously said to Joseph


    Grant: "Sir, she''s feverish. I''ll go get the medicine, please take care of her!"


    "Sigh, Zoey, I …" Alvina wanted to say something, but she saw that the door was tightly shut by


    Zoey.


    In the next second, she was gently pulled into his embrace by the man. Joseph Grant used his


    forehead to press against hers and indeed, he felt abnormal heat. He said: "I told you to take care of


    yourself. Look at you now. "


    Alvina didn''t know whether tough or cry: "I didn''t do anything. I''ve already worn enough clothes. I


    don''t know why I got a cold either."


    Joseph Grant let out a gentle sigh. He extended his hand and tightly wrapped her two ice—cold little


    hands within his palm.


    The man''s palm was warm and dry, Alvina couldn''t help but be greedy.


    "Alvina, I will be back the day after tomorrow. Come with me. I will be in charge of this matter!"


    Joseph Grant didn''t wait for her to reply and decided for her.


    Alvina nodded her head: "Okay, wherever you are, I will be there. I will follow you!"


    Joseph Grant looked at her beautiful face that was pale white from the cold and felt heartache.


    Once again, he reached out and pulled her tightly into his embrace.


    Alvina felt dizzy and leaned into his embrace as if there was something she could support and it


    made her want to fall asleep.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Just then, Zoey knocked on the door and came in, holding a pill in her hand. "There''s an antipyretic


    and cold medicine. Sir, let Alvina take it quickly, she doesn''t need toe and help!"


    "Sorry for the trouble, Zoey!" Joseph Grant took it gratefully.


    Alvina also said thanks, then Zoey turned and left, no longer bothering the two people''s world.


    "Sit here, I''ll get you some hot water and some pills!" Joseph Grant supported her to sit on a chair


    by the side.


    Alvina raised her eyes to look at the man''s back, and she was extremely happy. As though as long


    as she had him, she could feel at ease.


    Joseph Grant poured a cup of water but discovered that the temperature of the water was too high.


    He blew the water to make it cooler.


    He turned his head and saw the woman staring at him without blinking. Her eyes were as clear as


    water and were filled with love. The man felt embarrassed and his handsome face couldn''t help but


    blush a little.


    He turned his back again and continued to blow hot water for her.


    "Turn around and let me take a look!" Alvina didn''t know which part of her mind was in the wrong.


    When she was sick to such an extent, she was still in the mood to tease him.


    Joseph Grant''s back tensed and he couldn''t help but listen to her words. When he turned around,


    he saw that the girl''s small face was filled with smiles.


    "The water''s not hot anymore, take the medicine!" Joseph Grant pretended to be serious as he


    carried the water in front of her. Instead, he squatted down and ced the medicine on her palm as


    if he was coaxing a child, "Be obedient!"


    "What if I don''t want to?" Alvina blinked her eyes, she was very mischievous.


    "If you don''t listen, I''ll let you have an injection!" Joseph Grant had a way to treat her.


    "No! Even if I die, I won''t be injected with needles!" Alvina hurriedly threw the medicine into her


    mouth, carried the water in her mouth and gulped it down fiercely.


    "Slow down, no injections!" Seeing her scared to such an extent, Joseph Grant couldn''t help but


    laugh lightly. As though he wasforting her, he reached out to touch her shoulder and patted her


    lightly.


    Only then did Alvina calm down and leaned weakly against the chair. Looking at the man''s


    handsome face which was just inches away from her, she couldn''t help but extend her finger and


    gently touch his face.


    Joseph Grant looked as if he had been electrocuted. All the blood in his body started to boil faster.


    He quickly stood up and spoke in a soft and gentle voice, "Alvina, you just stay here, don''t go out!"


    "Aren''t you afraid that others will misunderstand our rtionship?" Alvina could not help but ask.


    "No, no matter what they say, you are still my wife—to—be. When I return from my country visit, we


    will be engaged. In the future, no matter how others view our rtionship, we will be amunity.


    Whether it is benefits or family, we will not be afraid of the eyes of others!" When Joseph Grant


    heard her question, he felt inexplicable as if he had hurt his old injuries. He med himself.


    Alvina nodded her head, she was very happy: "Alright, I have always been looking forward to this


    kind of life!"


    "OK, stop talking. Lie down on my bed and sleep for a while!" Joseph Grant reached out to help her,


    but Alvina was toozy to leave. The man didn''t directly picked her up. He carried her to the bed he


    temporarily slept on and gently put her down.


    "Take off your jacket. It''ll warm you by covering yourself with a nket!" Joseph Grant said softly.


    On the other hand, Alvina was obedient. Taking off her jacket, there was a beige turtleneck sweater


    inside. Alvina ripped off the ponytail that was tied up, causing her long hair to slip down. She was


    wearing a lot of clothes, but she still looked very slim and frail. He was sad.


    Alvinaid down, and her beautiful eyes unblinkingly looking at the man.


    After Joseph Grant covered her with nket, he didn''t leave immediately. Instead, he supported her


    on the bedside with one hand and reached out with the other to straighten her messy long hair.


    He was looking at her affectionately. In this remote mountain area, in this cold and snowy day, her


    heart was unspeakably warm.


    Joseph Grant was still unable to control himself. He bent down, kissed her on the forehead and then


    patted her small face: "Alright, go to sleep!"


    Alvina nodded her head and fell asleep.


    After Joseph Grant took care of some matters, he suddenly remembered that she had just eaten the


    medicine. He quickly walked over, and touched her neck area, as expected, there was a lot of


    sweat.


    He was afraid that her back was covered in sweat. She had to change her clothes quickly,


    otherwise, she would get sick again.
