Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1700

Three hours later.

Kurt slowly opened his eyes. His high fever had broken, leaving him drenched in sweat.

He looked around the room. It was pitch black, without a single person in sight.

Would Ebony Fox really be cruel enough to just leave him here?

He was so thirsty.

Kurt leaned against the hospital bed, threw off the covers, and was just about to get up to find some water when...

"Click—"

The lights in the room suddenly flicked on. Ebony Fox appeared before him, holding a glass of hot water.

Seeing her, Kurt froze for a few seconds before instantly forcing a smile. "I thought you'd left..."

"Drink it."

Ebony Fox stepped forward and handed the water to him.

"Oh."

Kurt took it and downed more than half the glass, ending up coughing violently because he drank too fast.

"Why are you drinking so fast?"

Seeing his pathetic state, Ebony Fox frowned slightly. "No one's fighting you for it."

"This is the water you poured for me." Kurt explained with utter seriousness. "Even if it were poison, I'd drink every last drop."

"Sick in the head."

Ebony Fox pursed her lips, helplessly spitting out those words again. "Your fever broke. Go home."

"Ebony Fox!"

Seeing her turn to leave, Kurt immediately chased after her, grabbing her wrist and pleading pitifully, "Can I go to your place? If I go back looking like this, I won't be able to explain it to my family."

"No."

Ebony Fox instinctively tried to shake him off, accidentally brushing against the IV needle mark on the back of his hand.

"Hiss—"

Kurt winced in pain, his expression turning even more pathetic.

Looking down, the back of his hand was bruised, likely from the IV.

How did it swell up like that?

Ebony Fox stopped struggling, lifting her eyes to look at him. "Do you want me to call the doctor?"

"No need."

Kurt refused to let go, his tone humble. "I promise I'll be perfectly behaved. I absolutely won't move around or bother you."
