Chapter 454 A Serious Thing
Carlotta was unprepared when Jadon kissed her. His kiss was domineering and enthusiastic which was quite different from his personality. And then, he pinned her hands on top of her head, making her unable to move at all.
Carlotta was stunned for a long time and then began to struggle. Jadon was kissing her wholeheartedly and did not let go until he found her struggling desperately. Then, he slowly buried his head in her neck and muttered, "Carlotta..."
Hearing this, she froze in silence.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Carlotta, be my girlfriend."
Carlotta had long blushed, and when she heard his words, her face became even redder.
Seeing her keep silent, Jadon took a deep breath and said, "I know you are afraid of dating a scumbag. But you haven't tried it with me yet. How can you be sure that I am a scumbag?"
Carlotta replied, "I've never said you are a scumbag."
Jadon said, "Why don't you want to date me if you think I'm a good man?"
Carlotta was speechless. Yes, Jadon was a good man. Why didn't she agree to be his girlfriend? In the final analysis, it was because of her sense of inferiority. Moreover, she feared being hurt. Carlotta did not speak, so there was a moment of silence.
After a long while, she took a shallow breath and said, "Dr. Carter, you are confused by your illness."
Jadon was having a high fever, so his exhalations were hot, and they kept drilling into her collar.
Carlotta blushed and instinctively wanted to dodge them.
Seeing her intention, Jadon said in a deep voice, "Carlotta, don't leave me."
Carlotta was at a loss for words. She had never known a person could change so much after falling ill.
She wasn't sure whether he was confused by the fever or was still sober, so she kept trying to push him away.
But Jadon insisted on keeping her in his arms, not letting go of her.
After about ten minutes, Carlotta pursed her lips and then said softly, "Dr. Carter, let go of me. I'll go out to buy medicine for you."
Jadon retorted, "There's no drugstore nearby."
She said, "If so, I'll look elsewhere."
He asked, "Why are you going round the sun to meet the moon?"
She asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
He said in a hoarse voice, "As long as I sweat, the high fever will be brought down."
She thought for a while and replied, "Do you need me to ask the hotel to cook some ginger soup for you?"
Jadon said, "Don't bother the hotel. There's another way."
