Before Amelia could utter a word, Courtney already hung up.
"Courtney this is..." Amelia was filled with confusion. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. She stood up and asked carefully, "Who is it?"
"Amelia, it's me." The soft familiar voice came through the door to Amelia's ear.
Upon hearing the voice, Amelia’s hand trembled as she held the doorknob. Although she wanted to open the door, a burst of panic rose in her heart.
At this moment, she was eager to see him but not because she missed him. As for Amelia, it was the other way around, she wanted to push him away.
After weighing things in her mind, she opened the door and showed herself. Looking at Lucian's face, it was filled with familiar coldness.
"Have you eaten already?" Lucian concernedly asked as he stood in front of her. He did not notice the displeased expression on her face.
In front of the door, Amelia remained standing. As for Lucian, he couldn't move into the house.
"Let me out!" she begged to break the long deafening silence.
At the sight of her pleading eyes, Lucian felt pain in his heart as his eyes narrowed.
"Amelia, don’t be stubborn. Listen to me this time, okay?" he said. Lucian stayed up all night, his eyes turned red due to bloodshot. Tiredness was evident on his face.
The moment Amelia laid her eyes on him, she noticed his face looked exhausted. Eventually, her eyes intertwined with Lucian's eyes.
"Do you feel okay? Are you sick?" Usually, Lucian appeared to be an energetic person but he looked like the opposite today. It was obvious that his energy ran out. In addition, he had bloodshot in his eyes. Earlier, Amelia was in a bad mood, but the winds quickly changed as she was now full of worry.
In that instance, Lucian noticed the worried look on her face. Intentionally he played a self-injury trick to stop Amelia from leaving and said, "I am not feeling well. I was bombarded with work these days. I accidentally caught a cold. I also did not sleep well last night."
After finishing his words, Lucian thoughtfully touched his forehead, looking exhausted.
"If that’s the case, why don't you go to see a doctor?" Amelia's heart fastened. She leaned over to Lucian's side and gently said, "You should have a rest. I saw a medical kit in the room last night. I’ll check if there is any medicine for cold."
Before Amelia walked away, she invited Lucian inside.
As Lucian entered the door, a sly smile flashed upon his face.
While Amelia was taking the medical kit, Lucian pretended to cough severely.
The sound of coughing made Amelia more nervous. She hurriedly held the medical kit and walked towards Lucian. As she opened the box, she asked, "Have you taken some medicines recently? If you haven't, we should go to the hospital to get yourself checked."
Unconsciously, due to her worry, a deep frown appeared in her face.
Seeing that she cared about him, a part of Lucian’s heart felt relieved. Making her anxious was not his intention, so he held her busy hands to calm her down and said, "I just didn’t sleep well last night. Don’t worry too much. I can handle this."
The truth was he almost got no sleep last night. When he arrived home in the morning, he fell asleep in bed for less than three hours.
"I have found medicines for cold. You should take it. I’ll get you a glass of water," Amelia said firmly.
Lucian replied with a smile of happiness and wrapped his arms around her body.
Shocked by Lucian’s actions, Amelia dropped the box of pills on the ground and remained frozen.
At that time, Lucian rubbed his head against her neck as if he was looking for the most comfortable position. Then he muttered in her ear, "Why are you so skinny? I can feel your bones and it hurts even if I just lean against it for a while."
Although he was complaining, his heart was being shattered.
By the looks of her, Amelia's body was way too thin. Lucian blamed himself for not taking good care of her.
Amelia felt a warm feeling on her chest, spreading in every part of her body. A ticklish feeling rose inside her.
"You need to take the medicine..." she said uneasily as she turned her face away.
Their current position was so intimate, no words could escape Amelia’s mouth. Burying his head in her arms, Lucian behaved like a spoiled lazy cat. By the turn of events, Amelia wondered when this matured man began to act like a baby in front of her.
"You are my medicine." After saying these words, Lucian held Amelia’s face and passionately kissed her. All of a sudden, his sexy, thin lips covered her soft lips. He tossed and turned their positions, which increased the intensity of their kiss.
Amelia gasped for air. Feeling suffocated, she gripped his shirt and tried to push him away. However, it was useless against him.
Inch by inch, the kiss weakened her body. She stopped attempting to break the kiss, letting herself drown in their affection.
For a long time, Lucian received poor treatment from Amelia. But at that time, she was hugging him tightly, which made him hesitant to let her go.
After the affectionate kiss, Lucian released Amelia who immediately blushed and caressed her face.
