Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Stuart Had A Fever
Not only was Stuart’s body cold, so were his lips. It was not until his face got so close to her that she had finally realized there was something wrong with him. His face was pale; sweat dripped from his forehead.
Perhaps Stuart noticed she was not concentrating, and he bit her tongue lightly; only then was her attention pulled back.
She immersed herself in the kiss.
The kiss was... sad.
Although the kiss was still bossy, this time, there was tenderness hidden in it, too, as if he was walking on eggshells. It was so heartbreaking.
Edie’s heart is beating fast as if being hit vigorously, it was... aching.
The kiss didn’t last as long as Edie imagined, because Stuart suddenly fainted.
Edie tried to hold him and stop him from hitting the ground, but he was too heavy, she could not possibly take his weight, so in the end, they both fell to the ground.
This time, she observed his face more closely; his face was not only pale but also blushing. She quickly put her hand on his forehead.
It was... burning!
Stuart had a fever?
"Ian, Mr. Bates!" Edie flurried, she kept on calling for help while trying to drag Stuart up and to the bed. But a 188cm man was way too heavy for her, in the end, she kneeled to the ground and hurt her knees.
However, her hand did not let go for even one second, and she held Stuart tightly from the beginning to the end.
Finally, Ian and Mr. Bates arrived, Edie was still on her knees, carrying Stuart on her back, seeing such a scene, Ian and Mr. Bates rushed to them to help.
Ian touched Stuart’s forehead and winced, "Oh no, the president has got a fever. We have to take his wet clothes off." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Ian took Stuart’s suit off. Edie felt his shirt with her hand, and it was all wet, ice cold.
"What... what happened?" She asked worriedly with her shaky voice.
"As soon as you disappeared, the president looked for you everywhere, after discovering that the surveillance video has been edited, he thought of Master Aaron immediately and went to Bolton Chateau to find you. Master Aaron lied to him that you’ve been thrown into the forest, the president believed him and went straight there. The forest was very humid, and the president stayed there for half an hour. After knowing your whereabouts, he came for you without even changing his clothes. He has been... wearing this wetsuit for more than one hour."
Edie’s heart clenched, looking at the unconscious Stuart in bed, her eyes were already brimmed with tears.
"Are you stupid! Does Aaron ever tell the truth? Why did you believe in Aaron? You’re such an idiot!" Edie scolded him while crying.
"Mrs. Yates, as long as it’s about you, Master would lose all his sense of reason. He is willing to do anything for you." Mr. Bates said.
Edie’s body shook after hearing what Mr. Bates just said, and she felt a mix of complicated feelings.
After the shirt had been taken off, Ian discovered a letter inside the pocket, Edie recognized the letter immediately and quickly took it over.
The letter had already been opened, then what about Stuart’s response?
Edie looked at the signature space... it was blank...
Is this his answer?
She squeezed the letter in her hand and put it away quietly, walked aside, and watched them humming around. Mr. Bates and Ian were all very worried about Stuart; no one noticed Edie’s action.
The doctor arrived quickly, in less than twenty minutes.
Stuart was like a prince, always the center of all attention, the chosen one. But her? Before meeting him, if she got sick, taking medicine and some rest would be enough.
They were from two worlds, and their difference was too evident that she could not possibly ignore.
Edie turned around quietly and left the room, although her heart was still aching for him, she knew Stuart would be ok.
But not long after she left, Ian rushed out for her and yelled, "Mrs. Yates, come back, the president suddenly woke up, he is clamoring for you!"
"..." Edie froze.
But Ian did not give her time to consider, and he straight pulled her into the room.
As soon as Edie entered the door, she saw Stuart struggling to get out of bed; the doctor didn’t dare to stop him, he didn’t want to displease him. While Edie was still hesitating, Ian pushed her from the back, and she stumbled to his bed, the medical crew immediately made a place for her appearance.
As soon as she appeared, Stuart grabbed her small hand, as if he was afraid that she would leave, "No... don’t leave me..."
His dark eyes turned hazy because of the fever, but he could still recognize her. He gazed at Edie earnestly.
Edie gazed back, realizing that she could not possibly reject him... even though she knew he had already rejected her, but she could still not make up her mind to leave him at a time like this.
Perhaps, leaving him while he was unconscious would be the best choice.
But, not now.
She nodded, forbearing the bitterness inside, "I know, I’m right here, I’m not going anywhere."
The doctor finally let out a sigh of relief and put Stuart on a drip.
Everyone left one by one quietly, leaving Edie alone with Stuart. She looked at the man in bed; his eyebrows were wrinkled even while asleep; he didn’t look like a fragile patient at all.
She lifted her hand and landed it between his eyebrows, smoothing the wrinkles in between.
Much better.
She had to admit, and his face was perfect. His chin line was refined; his eye contained a sea of stars.
Although he had his eyes close, she could already imagine his beautiful eyes. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
His nose stood out, the curves were refined too, under that nose was his pale lips. She gently tapped his nose with her fingertip, pondered for a second, couldn’t hold herself back, so she leaned forward and gave him a light kiss on his lips.
