You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 38

Coralie Chariott's heart skipped a beat when she heard him crying out in this manner.

She didn't know who Skylar Holland was calling for at this moment, as she wasn't listening clearly just now.

Was it her? Or Corrine Quincy?

She really hoped that he was referring to her, but she did not want to lift her hopes up.

"Lie down quietly. I'll go and get some water. You're having a high fever, and you should get hydrated."

Coralie patted Skylar on the hand and coaxed him like a child.

After a while, he seemed to understand the situation, and he slowly let go of her hand.

Coralie went downstairs and filled a thermos with hot water in the kitchen, but she didn't go upstairs immediately. Instead, she decided to prepare some porridge first.

However, there was only a little oatmeal left. She had to turn over the container to get it all out.

Fortunately, with this portion of oatmeal, plus the eggs and ham she bought the last time in the refrigerator, Coralie managed to prepare some porridge. Then, she went upstairs with the thermos, some antipyretics and a thermometer.

She stood next to Skylar and looked at his haggard face and shallow complexion. She couldn't help but wonder, "How long was he lying in the kitchen?"

One day? Or could it be two days?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad. He was an adult, but he couldn't even take care of himself.

"Come on, take the medicine."

Coralie helped Skylar to sit up, and she fed him the medicine.

Skylar opened his mouth obediently. Coralie put the medicine on his tongue, and then she brought the cup to his mouth.

"Coralie, you're here."

Skylar's eyes were half-open, but Coralie could tell that he was particularly happy when he said her name.

Was he usually so affectionate to Corrine as well?

Thinking of this, Coralie felt a sense of bitterness, as if she was envious or even jealous.

"Well, I'm here."

Coralie thought that Skylar was probably looking for Corrine. Although she was angry, she tried to counsel herself not to be angry with a sick person.

"Last time you..."

"Don't talk anymore. Lie down first."

Skylar's voice was hoarse. It seemed to take him a lot of effort to speak, so Coralie had to advise him to rest first.

"Then, don't go. I still have a lot of things to say to you."

Skylar held her slender arm. He was obviously very weak, but he still tried to grab her with all of his strength. It was as if he was afraid that she would leave him.

At this time, he was very different from usual. He was more like a child, trying to get his way by acting sweet and innocent.

She recalled that Skylar always had a cold and stern expression. He seemed condescending and aloof. When he looked at her, his expression was even contemptuous at times.

"Okay, I will stay."

Coralie allowed Skylar to hold her hand. As she noticed that he was slowly falling asleep, her heart sank.

Skylar's body was scorching hot. Even though he was in his pajamas, Coralie could feel the heat from him. Therefore, she took the thermometer from the bedside and placed it under his arm.

Skylar, who was asleep, couldn't help but frown when he felt something cold touching his body. Coralie patted his body gently, as if she was coaxing a child, and she whispered, "Go to sleep, go to sleep."

As if her words were magical, Skylar relaxed slowly and he fell asleep.
