A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 3355

Chapter 3355 You Need To Rest

Megan couldn’t figure out what Jake was trying to do. As the light cast a shadow on his lips, she noticed the exhaustion radiating from his gaze.

“No, I won’t go. I have a meeting later. Let me take a short nap,” he rasped out tiredly.

His voice was hoarse as though he was a parched traveler in the desert.

He’s so ill. Why is that meeting still on his mind?

Megan didn’t voice her thought out loud. Touching his heated skin again, she couldn’t bring herself to cave in to his request.

She insisted, “If you won’t go to the hospital, I’ll buy some medicine for you. You must rest this afternoon.”

Her tone left no room for negotiation. Jake lay on the couch with his eyes closed and brows twitching. He was too tired to argue with her.

It was rare for Megan to show her concern for him. Yet, the next meeting was extremely important for him to not skip. Even if he didn’t want to attend it, he had no choice.

Megan took his silence as consent. She was about to move Jake away from her lap, but the man refused to budge.

“Why won’t you let me leave?” she demanded irritatedly. She was furious, but she had no avenue to vent her frustration.

He’s about to faint. Where did he get the energy to trap me here?

Is that meeting more important than his life?

Hearing the displeasure in her voice, Jake opened one eye to peek at her.

His cheeks were flushed, and the sweat caused his fringe to stick limply to his forehead. The discomfort he felt was too unbearable, so he didn’t have the energy to mind Megan’s feelings.

Weakly, he muttered, “Flu medicine can cause drowsiness. I have a meeting later, so I can’t take it.”

Megan dismissed his excuse swiftly. Does he think I can’t leave to buy medicine if he won’t let me leave?
