In the middle of the night, Alvina Miller caught a cold, and she had a fever, which made her entire being dizzy. She felt thirsty, so she lifted her blanket and decided to go downstairs to drink some water.
Alvina Miller stepped on a pair of slippers, walking down the stairs unsteadily, just that, because she was not familiar with this home, the lights in the corridor, and she did not know where the switch was, she could only grope around to find it.
"No way, I'm afraid of the dark!" Alvina Miller touched a few places, but could not find anything, so she was immediately speechless, could it be that she was the one feeling her way downstairs?
Alvina Miller's final decision was to reach the other end of the corridor in the dark and seek Joseph Grant for help.
However, just as she took a few steps, the lights in the corridor suddenly lit up, giving her a fright. She felt it was strange, and when she raised her head, she saw a man wearing a dark purple robe, walking towards her.
"What are you doing?" Joseph Grant heard her movements and came out. The moment he turned on the light, he saw her touching the wall with her hands, and couldn't help but frown.
Did this woman have a habit of sleepwalking?
"I'm looking for the light switch, but I can't find it!" Alvina Miller said lifelessly.
"The switch is on the left-hand side of your door. Didn't I tell you?" Joseph Grant had a strange expression.
Alvina Miller was startled, and muttered: "When did you ever say that?"
Joseph Grant walked in front of her, saw her cheeks turn different shade of red, and his expression changed as he asked her in concern in a low voice, "What happened to you? Why is your face so red? "
"I'm having a fever. Do you have a thermometer? I want to drink water, I feel so bad! " Alvina Miller was not a child. With her symptoms, it was obvious that she had a fever. It was definitely because she had fallen asleep at the entrance this afternoon.
Joseph Grant immediately extended his hand over, and placed his palm on her forehead.
"Be careful next time, don't sleep outside the door!" Joseph Grant helplessly warned her again.
"Nope, do you have medicine at home?" Alvina Miller was very obedient when she was sick, and did not dare to act rashly again.
"Come with me and take a look!" Joseph Grant remembered that there should be a reserve of medicinal herbs.
Alvina Miller also didn't know why the fever was so strong. She felt like she could see the road with shadow.
"Joseph Grant, can you hold my hand? I feel dizzy!" Alvina Miller wanted to ask him to help a little so that she wouldn't roll down like a rock.
Joseph Grant knew that she must be feeling terrible at the moment, or else her eyes would not be so dull like this.
"Ill carry you down!" Joseph Grant immediately bent over and stood in front of her. Without being polite, Alvina directly laid on his broad back, with her two small hands instinctively hugging onto his neck tightly, afraid that she would fall down.
Joseph Grant paused for a moment, he did not dare to easily grab her legs, because she was wearing a pajamas, if he did that, it would reveal her slim and fair legs, if he wanted to reach out and support her, he was afraid that they would touch a place that he should not.
If he did not support her legs, with her current strength, she would not be able to wrap her arms around his neck and really fall to the ground. In the end, Joseph Grant could only make a move.
The warm palm was directly pressed against her slender legs, carrying her on his back as he walked down the stairs.
Alvina Miller was currently so ill that she did not care about this matter at all. However, the more clear-headed the man was, the more his palm felt the smooth and silky skin, causing him to become absent - minded several times.
He didn't think that a woman's skin would be so tender. It wasn't as hard and sturdy as a man's. It was so soft that a simple pinch would be able to injure her.
Joseph Grant carried Alvina Miller down the second floor and directly placed her on the sofa.
Joseph Grant quickly boiled a pot of hot water and brought a cup to her, then prepared to find a medicine. There was no fever medicine, so Joseph Grant looked at the time and saw that it was already 3 in the morning, so he called for medicine to come over.
"I really owe you much!" Joseph Grant could not help but self - deprecate, after that, he extended his hand and flipped her over, directly lifting her up horizontally, he walked up the stairs.
Alvina Miller's sleep quality was already very good,
Joseph Grant carried her up the stairs and used his legs to kick to open the door. He saw that the woman had slept on a bed that looked like a dog's nest, she actually put all of the pillows on the sofa on top of her bed, forming a safe place for only one person to lie on. Could she have slept in this small place?
Joseph Grant never thought that she would actually have such a strange habit, could it be because she lacked a sense of security?
Joseph Grant put her down softly in her small nest that she had cleaned himself. Instinctively, Alvina Miller reached out to hug the pillow by her side. However, she didn't get the pillow, and instead, hugged Joseph Grant, who didn't have time to pull his hand away.
Seeing her instinctive actions, Joseph Grant's handsome face was stunned, following that, his arm was hugged tightly by the woman, sticking closely to her soft skin. His entire body shook, and his mind went blank for a moment.
Then he realized that he had taken advantage of this woman in an unconscious state, which was not much of a gentleman's thing.
As a result, Joseph Grant used a bit of force and pulled his arm away. As if the girl had lost his grip, she moved her body a little and grabbed onto something else.
Seeing her childish movements, Joseph Grant didn't know whether to laugh or mock her.
She didn't know if this strangeness of hers was a product of nature or the day after tomorrow. Her father had left so early, so how could her lack of security be related to her father's departure?
No matter what, Joseph Grant felt an inexplicable pain in his heart for her. This kind of feeling was extremely strong, and caused his Adam's apple to uncontrollably roll.
His grandfather had abandoned even greater benefits to forcefully give his granddaughter to him. Perhaps, it was because he knew that she lacked a sense of security and wanted him to act as her protection umbrella.
"Alvina Miller, I hope you won’t regret meeting me." Joseph Grant used a blanket to cover her, and after tucking her in, he sighed and left.
