Elena never thought that he would really wash her underwear by hand when it was so cold. And she never expected that he would do this just because he was afraid that she would catch a cold. Now she felt so warm and sweet.
She felt cold at midnight. Logan sensed this and tried to warm her by putting her hands on his belly.
As a result, Elena didn’t feel cold though it was snowing heavily outside. When she woke up, she realized that she was as warm as lying beside a fireplace!
“Logan!?” Elena sat up abruptly and looked at him, and found the unusual blush on his face, “Can you hear me?”
She patted his face gently, and Logan opened her eyes slowly, then he embraced her into his arms weakly, “Don’t move. Just let me sleep for a while.”
Elena got out of his arms and put her hand on his forehead, “Logan, do you have a high fever?”
There was no heating in the room. When she nearly fell asleep, she felt as if he tried to cover all the quilts on her to keep her warm. And now she was sure it was real. She was so angry that he didn’t care about himself! Such an idiot!
“Em...” Logan grumbled. Elena sighed lightly. Then she got up and covered him with the quilts and clothes, trying to keep him warm.
“I’ll go out and buy you some medicine. Just wait here for me, okay?”
“OK,” he responded, but he didn’t release her hand. She took a breath and tried to persuade him, “Come on, just let me go...”
Logan was unconscious, but he held her hand even more tightly. She had no idea what to do. She remembered he was also this clingy when he got drunk last time. Was he always this clingy when he wasn’t sober?
She half-crouched beside the bed, patting his hand gently, “Please? Let me go. I will be back as soon as I get the medicine, okay? You are having a fever; you need to take medicine!”
Seemingly he heard her and released her hand. Elena felt somewhat relieved and left.
Jacob was staying in his room. Perhaps he just followed Logan’s instruction. She went downstairs and asked the servant where she could get medicine, and the servant answered, “Walk along the street on the left. Keep going and you will find it. But the road is covered by thick snow. It might take you about 15 minutes to walk.”
“It’s okay. Thank you.” She left hurriedly. Before she went out, she covered her face with a scarf. When she opened the door and a gust of wind blew in, making her shiver.
It seemed so long for her though she just needed to walk about 15 minutes. The road was so rough to her, seemingly she had spent a century to get to the pharmacy. After buying the medicine she needed, she walked out of the pharmacy. But suddenly, she heard a piercing sound of engine, which was getting closer and closer!
Elena turned around, and saw someone riding a motorbike towards her. It happened so suddenly that she was so frightened, felling down and sinking into the thick snow.
The driver was young and handsome. He was also scared seeing Elena falling to the snow. So he quickly jumped off the snowmobile and said, “I’m sorry! I was practicing riding it. I almost hit you. I don’t mean to hurt you! Are you okay?”
Elena picked up the medicine and quickly stood up from the snow, “It’s okay.”
When she was about to leave, the man stopped her immediately. His action made her sullen. So she asked him in an unpleasant tone, “What do you want? Don’t get in my way, please.”
The man could not see her expression because of her scarf, but could see her frowning. He immediately took off his helmet, showing his face.
“Walking in the snow can be difficult. Where are you going? I will send you, as my apology!”
“No, thanks.” she answered quickly, ignoring him.
