Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 394

Chapter 394 Temptation 

The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds before William closed his eyes in fatigue. With a whisper, he said, “Take care of me, angel. If I’m dead, there would be no one left alive who loves you.” 

Just one sentence was enough to extinguish Emelie’s burning anger. 

It was the first time that he told her clearly that he loved her. 

This man was so good at finding her weaknesses. 

Few had told her they even liked her since she was little. 

Did her parents like her? She still remembered how they used her to pay for their debts all those years ago. 

Those were her parents, so she couldn’t ask more from others. Charles teased her while Wesley left the country and her here alone. 

Few people liked her, and that had always been the case. However, William’s words were enough to make the pain she felt become numb. 

But did he like her? Wasn’t the one that he liked Daphne? 

The bastard was lying again. 

There was a blanket on Emelie’s bed. She grabbed the edge of the blankets and pulled with all her might. William immediately rolled off the bed together with the blanket. 

The bed wasn’t that tall but it was probably still quite painful when he fell onto the floor. William frowned as he grunted. However, because he was too sick, he did nothing else. 

Emelie lay down in her own bed, ignoring him. 

Why should she care about him? 

The woman that she loved almost killed her mother, and he kept on protecting her. Was she going to forgive him just because of a few honeyed words and his feigning suffering? 

Emelie closed her eyes and slept. 

The room was quiet in the middle of the night with no other sound except the sound of breathing. 

Emelie was already quite tired because she had to deal with so many people that day, not to mention that it was already so late. That was why she quickly dozed off. 

However, she didn’t enter a deep sleep as she slipped in and out of consciousness. 

She opened her eyes before her alarm went off the next morning. She was getting a headache because she didn’t sleep well. 

When she got out of bed, William was still on the floor. 

Emelie had really left William on the floor for the whole night and ignored him completely. 

Her legs hung off the side of the bed as she looked down on him. In the end, she extended her hand and placed it on his head. 

It was not as hot as last night. 

That was the advantage of having a good physique. He could recover quickly despite how bad it was last night. 

When Emelie got out of bed, she walked on the carpet barefooted and crouched down next to him to look at his pale face. 

She recalled the matter with Daphne because of Elena last night. That was why she was getting more and more annoyed with him. 

After waking up from her sleep, she cooled down a lot as time went by. It also helped to see him lying on the floor in such a pathetic state. Only she could make William sleep on the floor. 

Emelie pursed her lips and tried to move him to the bed, but he was too heavy. She had no choice but to cover him with her blanket instead. 

She then grabbed a medkit and took out a clinical thermometer. She raised his arm, extended her hand behind his collar, and placed it under his armpit. 

William was unconscious, but his head turned subconsciously. His burning face rubbed against the back of her hand. 

Emelie felt seduced. 

After three minutes, the clinical thermometer started beeping. She took it out and looked at the reading. It read 100.4 Fahrenheit, meaning that he still had a fever. 

The temperature was already very high. It could only mean that it was even higher last night judging by how hot to the touch he was. Didn’t he ever worry that something had gone wrong? 

Emelie frowned and found a cooling patch from inside the medkit and put it on his forehead. 

She also helped William up and made him take fever medicine. 

William was gritting his teeth tightly and refused to open it, and Emelie tried her best to physically open his mouth up.
