Plop! Skyler's clothes got wet as water splashed all over the place.
He then held the woman's waist and gently patted her cheek with one hand. "Shir—"
"Hmm?"
The woman in his arms made a sound that forced air out of her nostrils. Her long, lush lashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes and vaguely recognized Skyler's face. She couldn't help but become irritated. "This is so annoying. I have to be bothered by you even in my dreams."
Hearing that left Skyler speechless.
What the heck? Does she truly despise me?
Skyler, who had always been popular with women, felt strangely hurt and wanted to let go of her and throw her back into the cold bathtub. However, he noticed that her skin was gradually becoming warmer, so he reached out and touched Shirley's forehead, realizing that she was feverish.
While she was soaking in the chilly water just now, her skin felt cool to the touch, but as soon as she got out, it quickly warmed up.
"I truly have no idea how to deal with you."
After that, Skyler carried Shirley back to her room and searched the apartment for some fever-reducing medication. He poured her a glass of water and sat beside her bed, giving her the medicine.
However, she didn't open her mouth at all and kept her eyes closed, leaving Skyler unsure of what to do.
Having no choice but to do so, he reached out and squeezed Shirley's cheeks, forcing her to open her mouth so he could administer the medicine.
He then gently assisted her in bringing her fever down.
Skyler filled a basin with water, soaked a towel in it, wrung it out, and lifted the blanket to wipe her body. But when he saw her flawless fair skin, he felt a tightness in his throat.
"F*ck!"
He frowned and tossed the towel into the washbasin before turning and fleeing the room.
Bang!
He shut the bedroom door and stood at the bathroom door for a few moments. His hand clenched slightly by his side as he tried to shake off his inappropriate thoughts.
