The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46

Wendy had finished dressing his wound. Unfortunately, Stanley’s injury had become infected, and as soon as he lay down, he

started running a high fever.

He felt freezing cold, so she turned on the air conditioner and piled several blankets on him, but he still shivered. Cold sweat

beaded on his forehead, and his lips turned pale.

Wendy couldn’t help but think that he deserved it. Why hadn’t he treated his wound properly when he took Jessica to the hospital?

She gave him a shot to help him get through it, but he would have to endure the fever on his own. Once the fever passed, he’d

recover.

Wendy pulled the blankets aside and lay down next to him.

His body was ice–cold, radiating an almost unbearable chill. She couldn’t just leave him like that. Biting her lip, she pressed her

slender form close to his, hoping to warm him.

He lay with his back to her, and Wendy avoided his injury, wrapping her arms around him from behind.

Stanley could feel her warmth as she curled up against him. Her soft body gently pressed against his, the thin fabric of their

clothes the only thing separating them.

Soon, her small hand moved across his chest, resting on his six–pack abs, gently brushing over them with careful, tentative

strokes.

Stanley closed his eyes and, in a hoarse voice, whispered, “Wendy, I’m sick.”

Wendy knew he was sick. That was exactly why she had to find a way to warm him up. She could only rely on the most basic

method to stimulate him, but she wasn’t Jessica, and she didn’t know if this would even work.

She didn’t answer him, and though she had started awkwardly, her actions became bolder as her hand moved up his body, finally resting on his sculpted chest.

The sensation was electrifying.

His patience snapped. He grabbed her hand, his throat working as he let out a sharp growl, “Wendy, stop touching me!”

Wendy’s small face turned a bright red. “Stanley, it seems like your body doesn’t feel as indifferent to me as you say.”
