Chapter 251 Shall I Feed You
Troy immediately got out of bed and fetched the medicine box. He found a thermometer and checked Imogen’s temperature.
101.48 degrees Fahrenheit.
He retrieved some fever–reducing granules from the medicine box, dissolved them in warm water, and gently fed them to Imogen.
He soaked a cloth in alcohol and delicately wiped her forehead and neck.
Troy placed the towel aside and tried to wipe her armpits by lifting her thermal underwear. However, the underwear was too snug, making it impossible for him to reach.
After contemplating for a few seconds, he removed her thermal underwear. Troy reasoned it was for her well–being, and she probably wouldn’t hold it against him.
He used a towel to wipe her armpits, arms, and chest carefully.
His gaze grew increasingly intense as he observed her faintly exposed, glowy skin and slender
waist.
After he was done, Troy covered her with a blanket and sat beside her. He checked her temperature every twenty minutes and wiped her down with alcohol.
He continued this routine until well past four o’clock in the morning, when Imogen’s fever finally subsided.
Troy put down his guard. He was exhausted. He lifted the blanket, lay beside Imogen, and embraced her tightly.
However, sleep eluded him even as he closed his eyes and felt her soft, with delicate skin against his. A strange, restless fire seemed to burn within him, making him incredibly restless. Imogen slept fitfully in his arms. She shifted her body several times. Her round, pert buttocks occasionally brushed against his sensitive areas, further igniting the passionate fire within him. What tormented him even more was that, during one of Imogen’s movements, the clasp on the back of her remaining underwear accidentally came undone and slipped off her body.
As if possessed, Troy couldn’t resist taking hold of it and burying himself inside. Just as Grace had said, it was incredibly fragrant and velvety.
Out of consideration for Imogen’s illness, Troy didn’t push things further and held her tightly, enduring the longing until daybreak.
Imogen slowly opened her eyes, feeling groggy and heavy–headed. Her throat was parched as if she had swallowed knives, and her entire body ached. She had no desire to get out of bed.
She sniffed.
Her nose was stuffy.
She had caught a cold.
Imogen turned her body, closed her eyes, and tried to continue sleeping.
As she drifted off, she suddenly remembered Grace sleeping beside her.
Imogen couldn’t risk infecting Grace with the cold. She considered taking her to Troy’s place in the next few days.
“Grace.” Grace turned again and opened her eyes but froze.
Where was Grace?
Imogen finally realized that something was wrong. She looked around and realized that she wasn’t in her room at the large penthouse.
Instead, she was in the master bedroom of Galaxy Villa.
Imogen quickly sat up. She felt a chill on her upper body. She glanced down and hurriedly covered herself with the blanket.
Imogen rubbed her forehead and tried to recall what had happened the previous night. She returned to the hospital room to get Grace asleep on the bed.
She was about to wake Grace when suddenly she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and everything went black.
She remembered Troy being behind her at that moment.
Had Troy knocked her out?
Why?
Imogen sighed in frustration, closed her eyes, and touched the back of her neck. She felt a sharp sting.
She took a deep breath and glanced around. She couldn’t find her clothes anywhere.
Imogen lay back down. She used the blanket to cover herself entirely and called out loudly toward the door, “Is anyone there? Troy?”
She called out twice, but her throat was dry and sore, so she gave up.
After ten seconds, Troy pushed the door open from outside. He sat by the bed and touched Imogen’s forehead. “Imogen, are you awake?”
Imogen instinctively moved back and looked at Troy coldly. “What are you doing? Did you deliberately knock me out? Where are my clothes?”
She had a sickly complexion, and her glare lacked its usual intensity.
Troy hesitated, gently holding Imogen through the blanket and feeling her forehead.
Finally, he withdrew his hand. His expression was calm when he asked, “Are you hungry?”
Imogen remained silent.
Did he hear what she was asking just now?
“I’m asking you, why did you knock me out? Where are my clothes?” Imogen glared at him.
But Troy didn’t directly answer her. “Sue made breakfast. I’ll get it for you. How are you feeling now? Do you have any
any discomfort?”
“I want my clothes and to go downstairs to eat alone!”
“Be a good girl and stay in bed. I’ll bring you breakfast.”
With that, Troy turned and left the room.
Imogen sighed in exasperation.
She wrapped herself in the blanket and got out of bed. She then opened the room’s wardrobe. It was empty!
There wasn’t a single piece of clothing.
Imogen widened her eyes in disbelief.
She rushed to the door and pressed the handle, but Troy locked it outside.
She circled the room, but there were no signs of electronic devices.
Imogen slumped on the bed, pounding it in frustration. Her face contorted with anger.
She understood now. Troy wanted to lock her up, as he had mentioned yesterday, to keep her close like a canary by his side.
Charlie should be calling her if she didn’t return home at night.
Her phone was with Troy, and he might be using his information to deceive Charlie.
