The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 160

Nathan wrapped an arm around her, whispering softly as if comforting a child, "It's okay, don't be scared."

Nora wanted to say that she wasn't scared at all.

It just hurt.

Thankfully, getting the needle in was over in a moment.

The nurse applied medical tape to Nora's hand, adjusted the IV drip speed, and picked up the tray. "Don't be alarmed if the patient experiences dizziness, nausea, or vomiting. Those are normal reactions."

"Also, it's not good for her to get an IV on an empty stomach. Handsome, when you have a moment, you should get your girlfriend something to eat."

Nora had already recovered from the shock of the needle. Just as she sat up straight, she heard Nathan say, "Got it, thank you."

The nurse smiled and walked away.

Nora was mortified.

Perhaps her expression was just too hard to read.

Nathan raised an eyebrow. "What, do you feel like you're settling for less by having a boyfriend like me?"

"Am I an embarrassment to you?"

Nora was at a loss for words.

This topic was too dangerous. Nora chose to pretend she hadn't heard him.

"I'm a little tired."

Nora had already told Nathan she was getting married; she felt there was no need to repeat herself. Saying it too often might strain their relationship.

*Looks like I'll have to keep my distance from Nathan from now on.*

Nora's thoughts grew hazy, and she drifted off to sleep within moments.

Nathan gazed at Nora's sleeping face, his eyes incredibly soft.

He draped his jacket over her, then gently touched her forehead. Feeling that the fever had gone down a bit, he let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief.

Leaning back at a comfortable angle, Nathan kept an eye on the IV bag out of the corner of his eye while pondering the case.
