Chapter 38


    Coralie Chariott''s heart skipped a beat when she heard him crying out in this manner.


    She didn''t know who Skr Hond was calling for at this moment, as she wasn''t listening clearly just


    now.


    Was it her? Or Corrine Quincy?


    She really hoped that he was referring to her, but she did not want to lift her hopes up.


    "Lie down quietly. I''ll go and get some water. You''re having a high fever, and you should get hydrated."


    Coralie patted Skr on the hand and coaxed him like a child.


    After a while, he seemed to understand the situation, and he slowly let go of her hand.


    Coralie went downstairs and filled a thermos with hot water in the kitchen, but she didn''t go upstairs


    immediately. Instead, she decided to prepare some porridge first.


    However, there was only a little oatmeal left. She had to turn over the container to get it all out.


    Fortunately, with this portion of oatmeal, plus the eggs and ham she bought thest time in the


    refrigerator, Coralie managed to prepare some porridge. Then, she went upstairs with the thermos,


    some antipyretics and a thermometer.


    She stood next to Skr and looked at his haggard face and shallowplexion. She couldn''t help but


    wonder, "How long was he lying in the kitchen?"


    One day? Or could it be two days?


    Thinking of this, she couldn''t help but feel a little sad. He was an adult, but he couldn''t even take care


    of himself.


    "Come on, take the medicine."


    Coralie helped Skr to sit up, and she fed him the medicine.


    Skr opened his mouth obediently. Coralie put the medicine on his tongue, and then she brought the


    cup to his mouth.


    "Coralie, you''re here."


    Skr''s eyes were half-open, but Coralie could tell that he was particrly happy when he said her


    name.


    Was he usually so affectionate to Corrine as well?


    Thinking of this, Coralie felt a sense of bitterness, as if she was envious or even jealous.


    "Well, I''m here."


    Coralie thought that Skr was probably looking for Corrine. Although she was angry, she tried to


    counsel herself not to be angry with a sick person.


    "Last time you..."


    "Don''t talk anymore. Lie down first."


    Skr''s voice was hoarse. It seemed to take him a lot of effort to speak, so Coralie had to advise him


    to rest first.


    "Then, don''t go. I still have a lot of things to say to you."


    Skr held her slender arm. He was obviously very weak, but he still tried to grab her with all of his


    strength. It was as if he was afraid that she would leave him.


    At this time, he was very different from usual. He was more like a child, trying to get his way by acting


    sweet and innocent.


    She recalled that Skr always had a cold and stern expression. He seemed condescending and aloof.


    When he looked at her, his expression was even contemptuous at times.


    "Okay, I will stay."


    Coralie allowed Skr to hold her hand. As she noticed that he was slowly falling asleep, her heart


    sank.


    Skr''s body was scorching hot. Even though he was in his pajamas, Coralie could feel the heat from


    him. Therefore, she took the thermometer from the bedside and ced it under his arm.

    Skr, who was asleep, couldn''t help but frown when he felt something cold touching his body. Coralie


    patted his body gently, as if she was coaxing a child, and she whispered, "Go to sleep, go to sleep."


    As if her words were magical, Skr rxed slowly and he fell asleep.


    Coralie looked at his sleeping posture, feeling calm and at ease. He seemed like he didn''t have any


    worries, and he didn''t look ufortable.


    After a while, she took out the thermometer. The temperature was 39 degrees Celsius.


    It was really worse than she had imagined. She nned to send him to the hospital if his temperature


    didn''t fall by tomorrow morning.


    Skr held her hand tightly. She had nowhere to go, so she just watched the news by the bed with her


    cell phone.


    The porridge downstairs was ready, and she tried to extricate her hand carefully from his palm. She


    struggled slightly and said, "Be still. I''ll get a bowl of porridge. You can eat a little and then go to bed."


    Although he was asleep, he seemed to understand what she said, and he let go of her hand.


    Coralie went downstairs, there was only enough oatmeal for a bowl of porridge. She took the porridge


    upstairs and fed it to Skr bit by bit.


    Skr seemed to be falling asleep, but he would do whatever Coralie asked him to do.


    When he finished the porridge, Coralie sat next to him and apanied him as he slept. She


    eventually fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already evening.


    When she regained consciousness, she looked at the man who was sleeping soundly next to her. At


    this time, her hand was freed from his grasp.


    Coralie tiptoed down the stairs with the empty porridge bowl. Seeing the ess card at the entrance,


    she contemted the matter for a while before she picked it up. Then, she went out to the


    neighborhood supermarket and bought some ingredients for cooking.


    As soon as she returned to the house, she saw Skr in his pajamas, standing at the stairwell. He


    walked towards her slowly.


    Coralie was shocked. "Why did you get up?"


    She ced the things she bought on the ground and went forward to help him.


    Unexpectedly, he walked up to her with few steps and pressed her violently against the door. He


    restrained both of her hands with hisrge palm. He lowered his head, and his eyes were full of anger.


    "Where have you been?"


    He enunciated every word clearly. Due to the fever he was having, his breath was as hot as steam, and


    Coralie felt the scorching air on her face.


    "There wasn''t any food at home. There was absolutely nothing left, so I went out to buy some things,"


    Coralie exined. She didn''t know why Skr had suddenly gotten up, and why he was angry.


    Everything seemed inexplicable to her.


    "You''re lying. You wanted to leave, and you wanted to disappear again, isn''t that right?"


    "No. Am I not back now?"


    "You wanted to put down the things and leave."


    Skr''s mind at this moment was in a chaotic state. He had a beautiful dream just now. He dreamed


    that he was in college, and Coralie was by his side when he graduated.


    He seemed to have many dreams.


    When he opened his eyes, Coralie was really with him, feeding him water and medicine. This was


    amazing.


    At that time, Skr thought that he was in a state of half-consciousness. Later, he fell asleep again. He


    dreamed that Coralie had left, and he could not find her no matter how hard he tried.


    Then, he opened his eyes and found that the sheets around him were messy, which proved that


    someone was sitting here just now. However, there was no one in sight.


    He searched the entire second floor and he did not find Coralie. When he went downstairs, he saw her


    at the door...


    At this moment, Skr was a little confused. Was it a dream or reality...


    "I didn''t say I''m leaving."


    Coralie was frightened by the terrifying look in his eyes. He looked as if he was going to devour her.


    In fact, he really wanted to do so.


    Skr grabbed both of her hands with one hand and he began to tug off her blouse with his other hand


    in a delirious manner. Exerting a little force, several buttons flew off andnded a distance away.


    Her clothes were unbuttoned, and her white bra was exposed, as well as her cleavage. With Coralie''s


    resistance and rapid breathing, he got even more aroused.
