The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1443

The woman complained for some time. After a while, she slowly put her fingers under Nick's nose, trying to feel his breath.

"What a relief. He's still breathing," she said out loud. She needed to hear it to believe it. She was supposed to move her hands away when an idea hit her. She decided to put her hands on Nick's forehead instead, and felt that his temperature was beyond normal.

'God, this man is burning from fever!' she thought.

She stood up, and hesitated on what needed to be done.

'I do need money, but if he is so sick, I will need to think this through to make a wiser decision. What if something happens to him? What if he dies because of me? I won't be able to get out of this easily, ' she thought to herself.

Reaching inside her bag, she found her phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, I'm in," she said as the other party accepted the call.

"Good job, Lily. You know what to do next, right?" The man at the other end of the line sounded cold and emotionless.

Lily trembled to the sound of his voice. She knew that this man was true to his words and he got the power to destroy her at his whim.

"I know, but..." Lily hesitated.

"But what? Are you backing out now? Did you forget about your ten-year-old son? Think about it. If you don't get this money, you won't be able to send him to a good school," the man said it like a warning. His statement sounded more like a threat when he put it that way.

Lily nodded unconsciously. But when she realized that the man couldn't see her, she answered to the phone in a hurry. "Don't worry. I didn't say that I won't do it. It's just…this man has fainted out," Lily explained. "It seems like that he is sick."

"Sick? Then think of a way to wake him up. Anyhow, he has to be conscious while you are with him. Otherwise, that woman won't fall into our trap," the man at the other end of the line instructed.

Lily had no choice but to agree with him. "Okay, I will think of a way."

After she hung up, she went back to where Nick was. Putting his right arm around her shoulders, she managed to hold him up from the bed. She then led him to the bathroom.

At that time, Nick had lost all consciousness. He couldn't do anything but to follow Lily. His legs lost all the strength, so he could only lean on Lily. Most of his body weight was also dependent on Lily's legs for support.

With all her might, Lily tried so hard and spent a lot of time to get Nick to the bathroom. She put him in the bathtub slowly. Then she helped him took off his bathrobe, exposing his white skin and slim body.

Lily was not in the mood to appreciate this man's body. Right now, all that she cared about was how to make Nick feel better and how to wake him up.

She held the shower head in one hand, and adjusted the temperature of the water with the other. Then she started to help Nick to clean up his body.

A few minutes later, the bathtub was filled with enough hot water to cover most of Nick's body. Lily turned off the shower and watched Nick closely.

She waited for a while before she checked the water again, only to find out that the water was about to go cold. Lily started filling the bathtub with hot water again, making sure the temperature was warm enough.

Lily repeated this for three or four times, then finally, she reached out her hands to touch Nick's forehead. Luckily, his temperature had now gone down.

By then, Lily's face had already turned pale and she looked really tired and weak. Relieved that his fever subsided, she finally got the time to take a good look at Nick.

She sighed and thought, 'It's a pity that such a handsome man with a nice body cannot be mine. He is much better than all of my previous clients. It will actually be nice if I can get to lay this handsome today.'
