Chapter339
Outside, there were bursts of faint voices, and I couldn’t make out a single word.
Before long, Reynaldo returned.
Seeing that there was no doctor following behind him, my heart wast slightly relieved.
He was holding a medical kit in his hand, which should have been brought by the doctor just now.
He said to me in a deep voice, “You don’t want to see a doctor, there must be something you’re hiding from me.”
“I can’t wait for a month anymore. After we return to Freybourne this time, I will take you to the hospital for a full body checkup!”
I wanted to resist, opened my mouth, but couldn’t say a word.
That’s it!
Anyway, it was a matter for later, so let’s just get through this for now.
I closed my eyes tightly and fell into a state of confusion.
This time, I felt like my whole body was immersed in a furnace, yet I was still feeling extremely cold.
After a while, Reynaldo half embraced my body, letting me lean on hist chest.
In his hand was a water cup, and in the palm of his other hand were two
20501
capsules.
He said to me, “Take the antipyretic first and bring down the fever.”
I shook my head and pushed away those two capsules.
Pregnant women cannot take medicine.
Reynaldo’s face darkened, and he angrily said, “You just said you would behave!”
I licked my chapped lips and said, “I want to drink water first.”
With that, I picked up the glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he took the two capsules and put them into his mouth in front of him.
The gloom on his face had finally dissipated.
He helped me lie down again, then got up to fetch other medicines from the medicine cabinet.
I quickly spat out the capsule in my mouth and threw it under the bedside table while he turned his back.
Reynaldo took some ointment and sat at the foot of the bed.
He put my feet on his legs and said to me without looking up, “This is frostbite medicine, and some anti–inflammatory drugs. I’ll apply some for
you.”
“Um.”
I responded softly and then fell into a deep sleep.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I felt colder and colder.

I curled up in the quilt, my whole body trembling.
Suddenly, the scalding body fell into a cold embrace.
Skin to skin. I let out a comfortable hum.
Even though I was so cold, his cool chest pressed against me, but I felt very comfortable.
He hugged me tightly, covered me with a blanket, and asked me, “Are you still cold?”
I struggled to open my eyes and met Reynaldo’s dark eyes in a daze.
He was very close to me, with our noses almost touching.
Our breaths intertwined, gradually becoming hot.
Suddenly, he turned his head and kissed my lips.
My head was in a whirl, and I just opened my mouth to respond to him
based on instinct.
His lips were moist, warm, and soft, as if they carried a hint of sweetness.
This feeling is like eating cotton candy, soft, sticky, sweet…
My consciousness began to drift again.
I vaguely felt him biting my earlobe, gently, but the words that pierced my ears were harsh: “Go to sleep, I’ll clean you up when you’re better.”
I didn’t know how long I had slept, my head was still heavy and foggy, not
a bit clear.
Someone was feeling my forehead.
Immediately, Reynaldo’s voice sounded above, “Why hasn’t the fever gone.
2050 D
down yet? Take the medicine again, if it doesn’t work, go to the hospital, you must go.”
