Chapter 84
Upon returning to the ward, Grace found that Devin was awake and attempting to get out of bed.
Seeing that, she strode over, put down the kettle, and pressed him back onto the bed.
“Didn’t you promise me you’d rest? Why are you getting up again?”
Devin looked a bit better, but his voice was still a bit hoarse.
“You’ve been away for too long, and I miss you.”
Grace glanced at her watch and saw that she had only been out for less than ten minutes.
Noticing the fleeting emotion in his eyes, she couldn’t help but press the space between her eyebrows.
“You often say I lie to you, but actually, you’re the best liar. I don’t think you missed me. You just want to keep an eye on me, don’t you?”

Noticing her snicker, Devin gently pulled her into his arms.
“I’m also a mortal with emotions and desires, so of course would speak ill of others and do bad things.”
“Bad things? What kind of bad things?”
Her puzzled expression was adorable, and Devin could no longer resist. He slightly lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
Grace’s face instantly turned extremely red. She raised her hand and pinched his waist.
Meanwhile, she said in a shy tone, “How could you kiss me while in a cold? If I get infected, I’ll hold you accountable.”
A light kiss was far from enough to quench his thirst. Hearing her coquettish tone, Devin became bolder and directly cupped the back of her head.

Devin’s hot breath pressed against Grace’s ear as he said in a deep voice, “Really? Then let’s have a serious kiss.”
