Chapter 106


    Seeing that Skr hadn’t taken off her coat, the germophobic Tobias couldn’t help but started, “I’ll help


    you take off your coat. It’s just too dirtying back from the hospital in it. It must be full of bacteria by


    now.”


    Skr didn’t want to move at all. Shey in the bed like a dried and worn-out sponge with her hand


    tugging tightly at the quilt as she shook her head.


    With much difficulty, Tobias suppressed his impulse to drag Skr up to change her clothes. Then, he


    turned around to open the wardrobe instead but found it empty within.


    He suddenly remembered that when Skr moved out, she packed everything and left nothing behind.


    She had so few clothes that she couldn’t bear to leave any of them here and once she left, she had no


    n of returning.


    “Don’t sleep just yet. I’ll go prepare the medicine. Take them before you sleep.” Tobias took the


    medication out and read the instructions carefully.


    Skr shook her head and answered, “I don’t want to take them. It’s awful, Meredith.”


    As she was half-awake, she mistook the person who was taking care of her when she was sick as


    Meredith.


    Tobias paused briefly in his tracks and then left to get some warm water for her to be taken together with


    the medicine.


    When he returned to the room. Skr was already curled up in the quilt, with only her puny yet pale face


    showing underneath. Nevertheless, she was still strikingly beautiful.


    “Be a good girl and take the medicine.” He put the ss on the bedside.


    Then, he lifted Skr’s shoulder up effortlessly and let her lean in his arms. He could feel her skin still


    burning.


    Taking the ss and cing it near Skr’s lips, he said, “After you take this medicine, I need to go to


    bed as well. I still have some business to attend to before noon.”


    Again, his deep and soft voice coaxing her gently was exceedingly pleasing to the ears. Tobias, who


    hadn’t slept for over three nights was a little exhausted as well.


    He noticed that sometimes, he could get some good and peaceful nights of sleep around Skr. There


    were certain days when he even doubted if Skr had drugged him.


    Skr was now immune to Tobias’ rare tenderness, and she shook her head. “It’s too bitter and hard to


    swallow. I’ll take itter.”


    It suddenly dawned on Tobias. What am I doing here? Coaxing a child? He despised troublesome


    women. But here he was, putting up with Skr so patiently.


    Frowning as he looked at Skr’s sickly pale face, which was the result of her fever and yet, she was still


    as spoiled as a child, he ordered, “Take it.”


    Skr ignored him totally.


    Tobias took the ss and take in a mouthful. Then, his other hand pinched on her jaw and made her


    take the medicine together with the warm water.


    Skr, who was almost asleep, opened her eyes instantly as her mouth was filled with the taste of the


    medicine. She looked like she was going to throw up and before she knew it, Tobias sealed her lips with


    his.


    When their lips parted, Skr started retching.


    It was definitely the most bitter kiss she had ever had.


    Yet, her face was lifted by Tobias and hemanded, “Swallow it. How can you recover if you don’t take


    the medicine?”


    With a long face, Skr swallowed the medicine with some difficulty.


    Looking at Skr’s pitiable post-medication face, he kissed her lips and said softly, “Sleep for a while


    and you’ll be okay. I’ll be apanying you here.”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    There was still a bitter taste in Tobias’ mouth. Their kiss just then was so deep that he could feel the wild


    longinging from his heated crotch.


    Taking in a long breath, the yearning in his eyes deepened and he was struggling forcibly to repress his


    desire.


    It was the next day’s afternoon when Skr woke up. Her clothes were soaked in sweat and her


    temperature had returned to normal. She had been perspiring profusely.


    Her hair was squishily sticking on her face and there were a few strands of them on her lips.


    She patted softly on her head which was still aching and got off the bed. Her steps were still giddy as


    though she was stepping on cotton and her heels felt weak.


    Coming down from the second floor, she saw Tobias talking to the phone with a stern face in the living


    room, with one hand on his hip.


    The buttons on his shirt were loosely fastened and his sleeves were crumpled up to his elbow. The


    perfect and sleek curves of his muscr arms outlined the vigor of men.


    Skr couldn’t help taking a few more nces at him. He’s clearly aging but still so incredibly sexy. Men


    in their thirties never failed to charm women.
