Chapter 39
"You''re not allowed to leave."
Skr Hond pressed his body against hers tightly. He was having a fever and the heat emanating
from his body was rming. It escaped and spread through his clothes, reaching Coralie Chariott with
fervent ardour.
He lowered his head, and his thin lips were exhaling scorching air, which he transferred to Coralie with
his mouth.
The steaming air filled her entire mouth quickly, expressing his fervent and distinct desire for her.
Coralie was rather shocked by his kiss. She found an opportunity to turn away and she said, "I won''t
go. You are still sick. I won''t go anywhere until you feel better. Don''t worry."
This was her actual n. She didn''t know why she felt such pain when she saw that Skr had fainted
in the kitchen. Even though he treated her poorly before this, she couldn''t just leave him alone.
Thinking about this, she felt that she was really disparaging herself.
"Okay."
Although Skr was holding her hands, he had loosened his grip. However, he still gave her a kiss.
His kiss was gentler, and he started by her ear. It seemed that he intended to explore her with his
kisses, moving downward. He stretched out his hand and attempted to hold her waist, so that he could
pull her closer to him
His movements had obviously be gentler, and he was not as aggressive as before. However, this
caused Coralie to be even more frightened, and her body was trembling slightly.
She begged for mercy. "You''re sick, can you stop..."
He treated her gently, but it seemed like he was going to take the next step.
"Oh, do you care about me?"
He stopped and looked down at her.
Coralie raised her head. She gazed at his eyshes, and his dark eyes. He seemed to be expecting
something.
Today, Skr had suppressed his anger, and Coralie was moved by this. She spoke softly, "Yes, I care
about you. Can you go upstairs to rest?"
He had a fever of 39 degrees. In Coralie''s view, he shouldn''t have gotten out of bed at all.
"Okay, I''ll listen to you,"
Skr said, after Coralie had expressed that she wouldn''t leave and that she cared about him.
Skr''s attitude seemed to be different. He went up the stairs, but he still held Coralie''s hand and
refused to let her go.
"Well, I want to make some porridge. Can you go up first? I''ll be right there,"
Coralie said, asking for his consent.
In fact, she sensed that Skr was weak and sickly. When he pressed himself against her just now, he
didn''t seem to have any strength.
"I''ll wait for you here."
Skr released Coralie''s hand and sat down in front of the dining table. He fixed his gaze on Coralie,
watching her every move.
"Okay, I''ll be done soon."
She could make porridge in a short time. She prepared the ingredients, cut them up, and put them into
the pot.
"It''ll be ready soon. I''ll go up with you first. Then I''lle down and bring it up when it''s done,"
Coralie said.
In fact, she was really good at taking care of people. It was all thanks to her marriage of several years.
At that time, Howard Schultz had acted like a child. He didn''t seem to have any hobbies. When he got
off work, he onlyzed around the house.
Whenever he was sick, he would order her around to serve him.
At that time, Coralie had believed that their rtionship was based on love. She did everything as
Howard instructed. She wanted to be a good wife, and she tried her best to please him.
"I will wait here,"
Skr said.
"It''s going to take about half an hour."
"I''m fine with that."
Although he was sick, he was still stubborn. He sat there and he didn''t intend to move at all.
Coralie walked over to Skr''s side, touched his forehead and said, "I don''t know if you have any
cooling patches for fever at home. Anyway, I bought some from the supermarket just now."
She took the stic bag at the door and found a box of cooling patches in it. Then, she opened one of
the patches and ced it on Skr''s forehead.
"What''s this? It''s so cooling."
Skr seemed to be more clear-headed. However, he was still in a daze. He wanted to resist, but
Coralie blocked him.
When he moved hisrge palm downward, he only managed to press Coralie''s soft fingers.
"Don''t pull it off. It''s effective."
Coralie pressed on the patch with her hand and she tried to persuade him.
"Then, you must stay here. Don''t leave."
Skr put one hand on the table to support his head. It was obvious that he felt ufortable as his
and watch Coralie.
Coralie sat on the chair at the dining table and looked at him.
It was very quiet, and only the bubbling sound from the pot could be heard.
After a while, Coralie looked at Skr and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
She could see that Skr was a little absent-minded, and he seemed groggy. Previously, he was
clearly in a state of half-consciousness.
After all, Skr would never listen to her when he was fully awake.
How could he be so kind to her? When Skr was clear-headed, he would only say, "You were hired to
bring me pleasure."
"Coralie."
Skr looked at her and answered without hesitation.
"Are you confusing me with someone else?"
"Beep."
As soon as Coralie asked this question, the porridge was ready. The beeping sound from the pot was
very loud, and it muffled thest few words of Coralie''s question swiftly.
"What did you ask?"
Skr didn''t hear her question clearly.
"Nothing. I''ll bring the porridge up. Lie in bed and I will feed you."
She had always been taking care of people like this.
Also, she didn''t want to probe into this matter anymore.
Coralie already knew deep down the answer to her question, but she refused to admit it. In fact,
Skr''s attitude toward Corrine Quincy and herself was very obvious.
At this moment, she thought that Skr was really confused, and that he mistook her for Corrine.
After pouring some porridge in a bowl, Coralie and Skr went upstairs together. She fed him the
porridge and some antipyretics.
"Lie down next to me here."
Skr''s bed was around two meters wide. This wasrge enough for two people.

After finishing the porridge, he suddenly pulled back the nket on the other side. As he spoke, he
dragged Coralie to the bed.
"Well, I... I''ll sleep in the guest room."
Coralie was frightened and she wanted to leave, but Skr held her firmly with his arm. He didn''t mind
that she hadn''t changed into her pajamas. He covered her with the nket and held her with one hand.
"I..."
"Shut up."
Coralie was about to speak, but he ordered her to stop.
He was obviously sick. Although he seemed weak, there were times that he seemed to possess great
strength.
Lying beside Skr, Coralie felt the rhythm of his even breathing. With his eyes closed, Coralie
observed him. His handsome side profile, and everything that she saw, caused her heart to skip a beat.
It was obvious that she was no longer young, but her heart began to beat faster. Coralie thought that
she was quite ridiculous.
However, thinking of his gentle behavior, and his dependence on her just now, she realized that he
might have confused her with another woman. This caused her to feel utterly despondent.
She lied there quietly. Perhaps it was due to the medicine that he had taken, but he fell asleep quickly
and withdrew his arm.
Coralie heaved a sigh of relief. She lifted the nket, turned over, and got out of bed.
