My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 801

Chapter 801 

Skylar thought that a single dose of antipyretics wouldn’t be fatal. Furthermore, Joe’s symptoms were like those of a common cold. His eyes were red, and his 

voice was nasal. 

Joe noticed that Skylar had been remarkably patient with him, and their interactions had grown even more distant than when they first met. It felt as though his heart was blocked off, making him feel stifled and uncomfortable. 

Seeing Joe staring at her, Skylar couldn’t continue pretending she didn’t notice. She asked helplessly, “Is there anywhere else you feel unwell, Mr. Martin?” 

“No, that’s all.” 

“You should get some rest,” Skylar said, glancing at the clock. It was already 9: 00 pm. 

Joe looked at her intently and then pulled her down onto the bed. 

Skylar was startled. “What are you doing?” 

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to do anything to you,” Joe said. He buried his face 

in her neck. 

The familiar warmth and scent helped calm his restless mind. 

Gradually, exhaustion and drowsiness overtook him. Skylar was speechless at his bluntness. 

Within seconds, she heard his steady breathing. She wondered if he was already asleep. She smelled like a fondue, yet he didn’t seem to mind. 

She tried to move, but he held her too tightly. 

“Fine,” she thought. She would make do with the fondue smell and sleep. However, Joe felt like a human furnace. His body was extremely hot. 

Skylar closed her eyes and managed to sleep a little, but it wasn’t very restful. 

She hadn’t changed out of her clothes, and she sweated a bit. After about an hour, she woke up and checked the time. It was 

past 10:00 pm. 

Joe was deeply asleep. She reached out to check his forehead. The 

temperature had come down. 

When he was pressed against her neck earlier, he was burning up, but now his temperature was normal. 

Even his breathing was even and gentler than before. 

Skylar gently shifted and managed to slip out of Joe’s embrace. She moved quietly as she got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. 

She needed a shower. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to sleep that night. 

30 minutes later, she emerged from the bathroom. Joe had moved to the other side of the bed. 

Skylar took a quick look and then carefully climbed back into bed. There was enough space between them for another person. 

Once Skylar was asleep, Joe, who had initially been lying on his side, moved closer. But he seemed to feel it wasn’t quite enough. He reached out and 

pulled Skylar back into his arms. 

When Skylar woke up again, it was already morning. At first, she felt disoriented. Then she recalled something and quickly reached out to check 

Joe’s forehead. 

His temperature was normal. She breathed a sigh of relief. 

Suddenly, Joe’s eyes opened. The room was dark because the lights were off, and the curtains blocked out most of the light. 

In the dim lighting, Joe’s eyes appeared dark and heavy. It didn’t look like he had just woken up. Rather, it seemed like he had been awake for some time.
