Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 393

I looked up at him.

He was firm and serious.

I said, “I love you.”

He smiled happily, ‘I love you too.”

It was the first time that we had said the L word to each other.

He said, “thank you, Clara.”

I was surprised, “For what?”

For loving me, and for being with me…

The winter in this city was long, stretching from November to March.

Clarrie had a cold and couldn’t get off the bed.

Dennis had gone to work and left a note beside the bed, “it’s cold. Wear more clothes outdoors."

I smiled.

And when I saw the florid face of Clarrie, I felt solicitous and called Mario.

“What’s up?” he said coldly.

I paid no attention to his coldness and said, “Dr. Bennet, could you please come here? Clarrie has a fever and the hospital is too crowded for her.”

That was an excuse, which must be made up to solve another problem.

The man at the other end said, “Okay.” And hung up.

Twenty minutes later, he showed up.

I was surprised at his speed.

“Were you nearby?” From his residence to here, it took at least forty minutes.

He didn’t reply but asked, “How is Clarrie?”

“She has a high fever.” I let him into the room.

He took the kit in his hand and went to Clarrie.

Father was concerned about his daughter. I was not surprised.

He measured the temperature for Clarrie and asked me, “Is there ice in your house?”

I nodded, “Yes.”

“Take some ice cubes and wrap them in a towel and lower her temperature. Then turn off the heat and take some warm quilts.”

And he began to find something in his kit.

I was confused, “it is so cold and I should turn off the heat? How could she stand that?’

He looked at me and said, “who is the doctor, you or me?”

I shut up and did as he told me.

When I was back, he looked at me and frowned, “You can wait in the sitting room.”

I wanted to say something but I was feeling cold and I just left.

Half an hour later, Mario went out and put his kit on the table in the sitting room and went to the kitchen to clean his hands.

He said, “The fever is over. She should stay home for several days and not eat rich food.”
