His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1315

Jordan winked secretly at Cora.

Cora immediately understood his hint. She nodded slightly at her brother to let him know that she knew what to do.

She had to find out who Cassie was about to meet later.

After a while, Cassie had to go, so Jordan couldn't do anything but drive her home first. A gentle breeze accompanied their silent ride.

Soon enough, they arrived at their destination. Cassie turned to Jordan and her lips curved into a slightly guilty smile. "I'm sorry Jordan. It should've been my treat. I feel bad that I let you pay the bill."

Of course, Jordan didn't mind, but he took the chance to ask her out again and said, "That's okay. We can do this again. And you can pay next time."

However, Cassie immediately regretted expressing her guilt when she heard Jordan's words. It wasn't that she didn't want to pay the bill; it was because she wasn't interested in seeing him again.

However, she still answered politely, "Okay. Next time it's on me."

After a while, they bid each other goodbye and Cassie headed home.

Jordan's eyes looked stern as he watched Cassie's receding figure. He thought about who Cassie was about to meet. Was it a man?

A voice suddenly cut Jordan's thoughts. "Jordan, you're really into Cassie, aren't you?" Even though Cora probably knew the answer, she couldn't help but confirm.

Even then, her question was met with a long silence, but Jordan's breath hitched and his eyes avoided hers.

When Cora saw the way Jordan reacted, she believed that she had gotten an answer of "yes."

Thus, Cora said, "Jordan, I'd like to help you. How about this? Tomorrow when I'm at work, I'll ask Cassie who she met. I promise to tell you the truth when I find it out." She decided to help Jordan out to make up for accidentally being the third wheel in her brother's date.

"Well, that's a way to go." Jordan gave her a gentle smile. Slight relief flooded Cora when Jordan grinned at her. Hopefully, she'd get something out of Cassie soon.

At Holley's house

The bed was where Holley was confined for now as she had to stay home and recover.

Her body was so weak that she couldn't even manage to open the front door when the doorbell rang. Her low energy level only allowed her to send Black a voice message on WeChat, which told him the door's pass code.

The voice Black heard in the message was weak and hoarse, which prompted him to worry about Holley before he even saw her. "Holley, are you okay? Are you sick?" he called out as soon as he stepped inside. He proceeded to the bedroom. The moment he saw her sprawl out on the bed, his face was filled with worry and concern.

Holley was so pale and her skin was as white as a sheet. Heavy dark circles hung below her eyes and she couldn't stop coughing. Her weakened state showed how terribly sick she was.

"I'm fine..." she choked out. However, her words were cut off by a fit of coughs. "It's just a cold," she croaked. Her eyes reddened and tears started to trickle down her cheeks.

Black hurried over to the bed and bent towards Holley so that she wouldn't have to talk so much anymore. Then, he went to the kitchen and got a cup of hot water.

He went back to her bedside and put his forehead against hers. The heat of Holley's burning skin made him worried and distressed, that he had forgotten what he originally went to Holley for.

"Stay away from me, you might get infected," Holley said as she nudged him gently. Black hardly heard her as her voice was so faint and soft, like a kitten's.

When Black saw that Holley was still concerned over him despite her being sick, he was truly touched. It made him even care about her more, that he wished he was the one sick and confined to the bed instead. He hated that she had to go through all this.

"Holley, you've gotten a really bad fever. Let me take you to the hospital," Black said. He then grabbed some clothes to help her get dressed.
