Chapter 329 A Misunderstanding
The icy hand Cecilia placed against his chest sent à shiver through his body, not from the cold. but from the sensation of his blood heating up.
As they continued their trek, Cecilia’s other hand accidentally brushed against his face. “Nathaniel, you have a fever,” she said weakly, realizing that his skin was burning hot–a clear sign of illness.
Nathaniel’s lips, as red as a ripe cherry, were pressed into a thin line. His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly as he replied, “What I said last night still stands.”
Cecilia could only see his lips move, but the words were lost on her. She responded with a faint “Okay,” not fully comprehending.
Nathaniel quickened his pace, determined to get her home safely.
When they finally reached home, Martha was waiting for them. She noticed the snow covering. both of them and quickly handed them towels. “Why are you coming back at this hour?” she asked, her voice laced with worry.
Nathaniel took over, brushing the snow off Cecilia’s body. Cecilia, still feeling the effects of the cold, tried to reassure Martha. “Martha, it’s late. You should rest. I came back late because the car broke down on the road.“”
Not wanting to cause any further concern, she didn’t mention her hearing issues.
“All right, but make sure to take a hot bath,” Martha advised before slowly making her way to the kitchen to prepare a warming ginger tea.
Nathaniel carried Cecilia to her room and gently set her down on the couch. He casually picked out some clean clothes for her. “I’ll fill the bathtub with warm water. You can undress and
get ready. Once you’re done bathing, you can change into fresh clothes.”
Cecilia, watching his lips move and guessing from his actions, assumed he was just asking her to change. “All right, you should go change your clothes as well,” she replied.
Nathaniel responded with a low hum, his voice rich with a magnetic resonance. Instead of changing, he grabbed a bathrobe and headed to the bathroom in Cecilia’s room to take a shower.
Meanwhile, Cecilia changed into a fresh set of clothes before wrapping herself in a blanket. Before long, she felt herself drifting off to sleep. Her eyelids grew heavy, and she was on the verge of slumber when Nathaniel, now only wearing a bath towel, picked her up in his arms.
Startled, Cecilia’s eyes shot open, and her hand brushed against his firm arm, instantly snapping her back to full alertness. “What are you doing? Put me down right now,” she demanded.
“The bath is ready for you,” Nathaniel said, his tone serious.
Cecilia couldn’t hear him clearly and protested, “Let me go; you’re free to leave.”
