She responded weakly, buried her head in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep again.
Fu Nanxiao's heart sank.
He touched her forehead, his palm burning hot.
She has a fever!
Fu Nanxiao immediately called the doctor.
Half an hour later, the villa was brightly lit.
Uncle Liu paced anxiously beside her: "Sir, why did Madam suddenly develop a fever? She was perfectly fine this morning."
Fu Nanxiao pursed his thin lips and remained silent.
It's his fault.
When he saw Liang Jia bring Jiang Yilai back and affectionately pat her head, and Jiang Yilai did not dodge or refuse, his suppressed anger turned into jealousy, almost burning away his reason.
In addition, the mottled and mixed scent on Jiang Yilai stirred up certain untouchable points deep in his memory.
That's when he lost control.
The showerhead was spraying cold water, which is why Jiang Yilai developed a fever.
Looking at Jiang Yilai's pale face, Fu Nanxiao felt a strange mix of emotions welling up inside him.
It's like feeling guilty.
The doctor started an IV drip on Jiang Yilai and then reported to Fu Nanxiao: "Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu just caught a cold and has a fever. It's nothing serious. Just make sure to keep her warm during this time."
Fu Nanxiao didn't speak, but Uncle Liu nodded quickly: "I understand. Thank you for your help tonight. I'll see you out."
The two of them were left in the room.
"thirsty……"
Jiang Yilai murmured something in her drowsy state.
Perhaps it was the lighting, but her face was so white it was almost transparent, and her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.
She scrunched up her face in discomfort, her lips dry and pale.
Fu Nanxiao frowned, poured a glass of water, and wanted to feed it to Jiang Yilai.
He had never done such a thing before, and water trickled down Jiang Yilai's lips.
He hurriedly started wiping, somewhat flustered.
A hint of annoyance flashed across Fu Nanxiao's eyes.
He then let Jiang Yilai lean against him before slowly feeding her water.
After finishing his drink, he thought of getting up.
Her waist was tightly embraced by a pair of slender arms.
"It's so cold..."
Despite her body being burning hot, she kept complaining of being cold, and once she found a source of heat, she refused to let go.
Fu Nanxiao was held so tightly by her that he couldn't move.
He placed his hand on her arm, trying to pull her away.
"Mom, I feel unwell."
Jiang Yilai pressed her face against his chest, her brows furrowed, softly calling him "Mom," as if she were being coquettish, but she looked extremely pitiful.
Fu Nanxiao suddenly remembered from the information that she lost her mother when she was five years old.
Without thinking twice, he reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips.
Fu Nanxiao's gaze fell on Jiang Yilai's face, and the coldness between his brows had somehow disappeared.
His eyes held a pity he himself was unaware of.
...
The next morning.
When Jiang Yilai opened her eyes, she was caught off guard and saw a handsome face that looked like a god.
The two of them were very close together.
Jiang Yilai was so close that she could clearly feel the strong arm around her waist and the heat emanating from his body.
Jiang Yilai's heartbeat suddenly became erratic.
Her earlobes immediately flushed red.
But her gaze didn't leave; instead, it fell on Fu Nanxiao's face.
Wow, his eyelashes are so long and his skin is so good.
Moreover, with his eyes closed, he concealed his sharp and cold gaze, making his face appear much softer.
He's so handsome it's breathtaking.
As if bewitched, Jiang Yilai couldn't help but reach out and touch his eyes.
"What are you looking at?"
The next second, those deep eyes suddenly opened.
