Chapter 769 Taking Care of Shirley
Splash! Water splattered everywhere and even wet Skyler’s clothes. While hugging the woman’s waist, he gently tapped on her cheek. “Shir—”
“Huh?” The woman in his arms groaned as her long, curly eyelashes batted before she lazily opened her eyes. Then, she saw Skyler with her blurry vision and could not help but feel bothered. “How annoying. You’re even pestering me in my dreams.”
That left him speechless. Damn it! Does she hate me that much?
Skyler had always been someone women sought after, and Shirley’s words were like a huge blow to him, testing his urge to drop her back into the cold bathtub. However, he felt her skin gradually warming up and used his hand to touch her forehead. Just as he expected, she had a fever.
Since she was previously soaking in cold water, her skin felt cold, but now that she was out of it, her skin had become burning hot.
“What do I do with you?”
After bringing Shirley back to her bedroom, Skyler looked around her apartment and found some medication. Then, he poured her a cup of water and sat on the edge of the bed, ready to feed her the medication. However, she was feeling dizzy and had her eyes closed, so she would not open her mouth, which caused him to fall into a difficult situation.
Having no other choice, he pinched her cheeks to force her mouth open and force-fed her the medication. Later, he thoughtfully helped her cool down.
Filling a wash basin with water, he dipped a towel into it before twisting the towel to get out the excess water. Subsequently, he removed the blanket on her to wipe her body. However, he felt his throat run dry when he saw her moist and fair skin, which looked like she had just taken a bath in milk.
“F*ck!” While frowning, he threw the towel right into the wash basin and stormed out of the bedroom.
Slam!
He closed the bedroom door and stood outside the bathroom door for a while. His fists tightly clenched by his sides, feeling a wave of desire raging inside him. Picking up his coat, he was about to leave when he thought about how Shirley still had a fever, so he stayed and accompanied her.
