Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1500

At Harold's declaration, a heavy silence fell over the phone line.

A few seconds later, the call was tactfully disconnected.

"You..."

Lorelei finally snapped back to her senses, staring at Harold in sheer shock.

What kind of outrageous thing was he saying?!

"Lori..."

Harold looked down at her, holding her gaze for a few seconds before his head dropped forward and he collapsed heavily against her.

"Harold!"

Lorelei shook him, realizing his eyes were shut tight and his skin was absolutely scorching.

Did he actually pass out from the fever?!

Struggling, Lorelei managed to push him off and immediately dialed the family doctor.

"Feverish delirium, compounded by extreme excitement and an adrenaline rush." After examining him, the doctor lowered his voice and asked, "Did Mr. Houston engage in any... strenuous activity just now?"

Extreme excitement?

An adrenaline rush?

Lorelei instinctively pressed her lips together, the memory of that intense kiss flooding back, turning her face crimson.

"Ah."

The doctor glanced at her, and upon noticing her swollen lips, seemed to put the pieces together.

"It's perfectly normal for young couples reuniting after a while. Very normal," the doctor chuckled, speaking from obvious experience.

He just couldn't wrap his head around the fact that Dr. Houston, the man everyone thought was cold and abstinent, possessed this side to him.

And the public thought they were getting a divorce?

From where he was standing, they looked madly in love!

Lorelei opened her mouth to explain, only to realize she didn't even know where to begin. "Is he going to be okay?"

"He's fine." The doctor shook his head, his tone respectful. "I gave him an IV drip. Just make sure he drinks plenty of fluids and gets enough rest. It's nothing serious."

Mr. Houston was a doctor himself; it took some serious effort to work himself up to the point of passing out.

Truly, even the greatest heroes fall for a beautiful woman!

"Thank you."

After seeing the doctor out, Lorelei was heading back to the bedroom when she spotted the little kitten trembling in a corner.

"Meow~"
