Chapter 26 The Artificial Heater
"Towel!"
Bennett ordered Wendy with Adam's apple rolling in his throat.
Wendy quickly handed over a long bath towel, and Bennett wrapped it around Catalina's body swiftly. Then, he carried her and headed to the bed immediately.
"Get into the quilt."
Bennett grabbed the quilt that was spread out on the bed and wanted to stuff Catalina into it.
But Catalina was still hugging him tightly and refused to let go. Her cold body couldn't stop squeezing into his arms as if that was the only place that could keep her warm.
Bennett was at the age at which he would easily drive by his desires. How could he withstand her holding him like that?
After a short while, he felt like his whole body was ignited by fire.
"Catalina, be good!"
He commanded her in a deep voice.
His big hand roughly grabbed her two small hands, which were wrapped around his neck. Then, he ignored her resistance and forced her to get into the quilt.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did he feel relaxed and his blood which had frozen started to flow again.
However, Catalina, who was in the quilt was not feeling well at all. Her huddled body was shaking uncontrollably. She looked pitiful and helpless.
She was feeling so unwell that she was crying like an abused kid.
A voice kept admonishing Bennett in his heart, "Don't worry about her. Just let her be! It's her fault. She asks for it and she deserves it!"
In the next second...
He lifted the quilt and slipped himself into it uncontrollably.
Then, he brought Catalina, who was shivering into his arms gently.
As soon as Catalina felt the temperature of his body, her whole body seemed to be attracted by magnetic force, and she couldn't wait to burrow into his warm embrace.
Bennett was speechless.
He thought to himself, "Does this girl know what is she doing?"
"Does she know what kind of risk she is putting herself into with this kind of behavior?"
"And what about me?"
"What am I doing?"
"I let this woman use me as an artificial heater. The woman who treated my gift as garbage this afternoon and gave it to someone else!"
Bennett's breath was getting chaotic and warm gradually.
In his arms, the soft touch from her deeply stimulated all his sensory nerves.
He was leaning against the head of the bed, letting Catalina lie on his chest, and he didn't dare to move.
"This damn woman!"
Wendy was standing by the side of the bed without saying a word.
The scene in front of her was too...
She turned around in a hurry, covered her eyes, and didn't dare to take another look. Her face was blushing.
Then, she heard Bennett's deep and hoarse voice instruct her from the back, "Ask Dr. Hood to come in, and the rest stay outside. They aren't allowed to step in."
"Yes!"
Wendy took his order and went to call the doctor right away.
Ryker entered the door with his medicine case.
When he saw the intimate scene on the bed, he blushed and coughed dryly in embarrassment, "Mr. Shaffer."
"Examine her now!"
Bennett used an impatient tone to cover up his awkwardness.
His face blushed all the way to his ears.
"Yes."
Ryker took his order.
Bennett grabbed Catalina's hand out of the quilt so that Ryker could check her pulse.
The other hand of Bennett was tightly wrapping the quilts on the two of them.
He was worried that Catalina's body which was in his arms would be revealed.
After Ryker checked Catalina's pulse, he took her body temperature.
"How is she?"
Bennett asked.
"Mrs. Shaffer is weak and couldn't bear the cold weather. She got better in the past two days but caught a cold again. I'm afraid this time she will need a longer time to recover."
