Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1582

Chapter 1582 Keeping Him Around

Kurt stared wordlessly at Vivian.

Vivian yelped in surprise, and she hastily flung her arms around his neck, clinging on for dear life. Her eyes were as wide as saucers.

What the heck is he doing?

She blushed furiously, having never been carried by a boy before today.

Kurt was not faring any better, though he quickly focused on bringing Vivian to a doctor. His mind was whirling with anxious thoughts.

Why is she unwell? Didn’t she recover yesterday? Why is this recurring?

He rushed toward the emergency department and declared, “Doctor, she’s very ill. Please take a look at her.”

“Huh?”

The doctors bustling about the department lifted their heads to stare at them in confusion.

It was only then that Vivian understood Kurt’s intentions, and she was both furious and embarrassed by his actions.

She pleaded, “I’m not that sick. Please put me down.”

Kurt refused, much to her chagrin. He held her in his arms until a doctor approached them and directed them to a hospital bed.

I’ll die from embarrassment right now!

A few minutes later, the doctor completed her examination and frowned.

She asked, “What’s wrong? This is just a simple bacterial infection.”

Vivian dared not meet the doctor’s questioning gaze.

Kurt did not seem to share her embarrassment. Instead, he sighed in relief at the doctor’s assessment.

The doctor prescribed some medication for Vivian afterward. After finding out that Vivian’s illness had recurred despite a check-up just two days ago, the doctor recommended a blood test to confirm Vivian’s diagnosis.

Blood test?

Vivian immediately paled when she heard those two words.

Pain or needles did not frighten her, but she simply could not stand the sight of blood, no thanks to a bloody and traumatic experience in her childhood.

Kurt received the test slip and was about to lead Vivian to the blood test station when he noticed that she froze on the spot.

He asked, “What’s wrong?”

“N-Nothing,” Vivian stammered. “I probably fell sick because I forgot to use my blankets last night. I-I’m fine. Let’s just skip the blood test.”

She lowered her head, her hands fiddling anxiously with the corner of her blouse.

There was the slightest hint of tenderness to his tone.

Fiery and passionate, it was not, but his concern enveloped her like the residual warmth of the sunset rays. She felt comforted and protected.

Vivian nodded in reply, still clutching the cup of water to her chest.

She said, “I’m feeling much better. Are we leaving?”

Truthfully, she was reluctant to leave.

Will he still visit me after I return? If I seek him out after today, will he behave as he did on the first day of school? Steer clear of me like the plague?

Vivian lowered her gaze, hiding the fact that her eyes brimmed with tears.

Kurt stood up and offered, “Okay. I’ll send you home.”

Sebastian had promised him a new assignment after his final exams. Though his exams were long over, Kurt would continue protecting Vivian until Sebastian’s orders said otherwise.

Sending her home was naturally part of his duties.

He did not know his offer would cause Vivian to suddenly perk up. Her downcast eyes lit up with excitement as she exclaimed, “Sure! Let’s go home!”

The discomfort that had plagued her body earlier seemed to dissipate instantly. She was now dragging Kurt off with gusto.

If he follows me back, I’ll have a new way to keep him around.
