The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 367

Sebastian looked down at Riley, who was resting in his arms with a slight frown. It was clear she was very uncomfortable. At The Grand Regency, Mrs. Gable would have to look after Alora. After two seconds of thought, he looked up at Franklin. "The Cloudview Terrace."

Franklin felt a sudden surge of excitement.

Before, because of the boss's injuries, they couldn't do anything. Now that he was mostly healed, and Riley was drunk—alcohol always lowered inhibitions. Something was definitely going to happen between them tonight, right?

The boss had been celibate for thirty years. He was finally going to get some action.

The car pulled into The Cloudview Terrace.

Sebastian moved with utmost care as he carried Riley out of the car.

Though his movements were gentle, Riley still woke up. Every little shift made her stomach feel like it was being tied in knots. She looked at Sebastian through blurry eyes. "Be gentle. I feel sick."

"Okay." Even his footsteps lightened as he spoke.

When Sebastian finally laid Riley down on the bed, the room spun violently around her. Her stomach lurched, and she scrambled to the edge of the bed, dry heaving.

Watching from the sidelines, Franklin panicked, terrified she was going to throw up all over Sebastian. He blurted out, "Don't throw up!"

The shout startled Riley, and she instinctively clamped a hand over her mouth.

Sebastian shot Franklin a chilling glare, clearly annoyed by how loud he was being. "Get out."

Franklin felt a little depressed. The boss was an absolute clean freak. He was just looking out for him, but the boss was giving him the cold shoulder. Fine, if they wanted to suffer, that was their business.

He turned and walked out.

Sebastian brought over a trash can and gently rubbed Riley's back. "Throw up. You'll feel better once you get it out."

Throw up what? She was in agony, and he wanted her to throw up?

Riley swatted his hand away and flopped back onto the bed, clutching her burning, cramping abdomen. "It hurts."

Sebastian leaned over, resting his large hand flat against her lower stomach. "Your stomach hurts?"

Riley guided his hand upward. "My upper stomach."

Sebastian's face darkened. "I'm taking you to the hospital." He moved to pick her up.

Riley immediately stopped him. "Don't move me. It hurts worse when I move." She grabbed his hand and placed it back over her stomach. "Just rub it for me."

As Sebastian gently massaged her stomach, he pulled out his phone with his free hand and dialed Zachary Chambers. "Get over here immediately."

Hearing the sheer urgency in Sebastian's voice, Zachary jumped. "What's wrong? Did your wound reopen?"

"No. Riley got drunk and her stomach is killing her."

"...I'm on my way."

About half an hour later, Zachary rushed through the door, only to be met with Sebastian's icy voice. "What took you so long?"

He was complaining about him being slow?!

Zachary was at a total loss for words. What happened to going to the hospital?! One word from Riley, and Sebastian threw all his logic out the window.

As Sebastian continued massaging Riley's stomach, he told Zachary, "Treat her here. She's doing a bit better than before. You're staying here tonight, just in case."

Zachary stared at him. A stomachache from drinking, and he was making the second young master of a medical dynasty stay the night just to watch over her?

He was a top-tier expert in cardiology and surgery, someone ordinary people couldn't even afford to consult!

This was a complete misuse of talent!

An absolute waste of genius!

Seeing Zachary just standing there, Sebastian frowned. "What are you staring at? Treat her."

Zachary bit his tongue. Did he think he was some miracle worker who could cure anything on command?

He only dared complain internally. Given that this was likely acute gastritis triggered by alcohol irritation, all he could do was set up an IV drip with antacids and fluids and observe her condition.

Zachary prepped the medication and readied the IV.

The moment the needle pierced the back of her hand, Riley jolted awake. "Ow."

Sebastian glared at Zachary. "You hurt her."

Zachary wanted to scream. There was no such thing as a painless IV insertion!
