I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 305

After handing him the water, Sienna ducked back into her bedroom.

When she re-emerged, she had pulled a thin cardigan over her pajamas.

She walked over to the sofa and looked down at the man lying there with his eyes tightly shut.

He had his head thrown back against the cushions, the long line of his neck exposed, a damp trail of water still glistening near his collarbone.

"Jorrod," Sienna said, shoving her hands into her cardigan pockets. She nudged the toe of his expensive leather shoe with her slipper. "Get up. Call someone to take you to the hospital."

It wasn't a hard kick, but it was enough to rouse him.

Jorrod opened his eyes, his gaze cloudy and slow as he looked up to find her staring down at him.

Their eyes met. In the very next second, his hand shot out, violently gripping her forearm.

Caught completely off guard, Sienna let out a sharp gasp as she was yanked forward. The room spun, and her lower back crashed heavily into the plush backrest of the sofa.

By the time she realized what was happening, their positions were completely reversed.

Jorrod loomed over her for only a second.

Whether from the agonizing pain in his back or the dizzying fever, his strength gave out. Grasping the armrest, the man she usually had to look up to slowly collapsed heavily to the floor at her feet.

He lowered his head, his forehead coming to rest intimately against her knees.

Sienna's hands had flown out of her pockets to brace herself on the sofa cushions during the fall. Her heart was hammering against her ribs. She looked down, watching as the man gently took one of her hands, turned it over, and pressed her palm flat against his own cheek.

The blistering, terrifying heat of his skin instantly seared into her hand.

She couldn't see his face, but she could feel his long eyelashes brushing against her palm, fluttering weakly against her skin.

Sienna sat perfectly still.

A faint, burning moisture began to gather against her palm, just as scorching hot as his skin. She couldn't tell if it was fever sweat or something else entirely.

Not even when he had been in a near-fatal car crash had she seen him look this shattered. Sienna was completely paralyzed with shock.
