Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Getting Drugged

Avery was confused and wondered, "Jack was grinning and claiming to bring some seafood to me just a while ago. What happened?"

She quickly asked where he was and rushed over there.

Jack was weak and leaning on the couch. His face was red like a tomato, and even his voice sounded like a kitten's. His dark eyes were clear as he stared at her as if he was pleading.

"Avery, I'm freaking hot," Jack said.

Avery reached out and touched his forehead. It was very hot.

She asked, "What else is bothering you besides having a fever?"

Jack had just stayed in the cold wind for a short while. Even if he caught a cold, it wouldn't hit him that fast unless he was just sick.

Avery used to be a student in medicine. She started thinking about all the diseases with fever symptoms.

Jack started loosening his tie, impatiently unbuttoning his collar and revealing his charming throat.

And then, he put his hand on Avery's hand and took it.

He said, "Avery, it feels like I'm freaking on fire."

Finally, Avery understood what was going on and withdrew her hand from his hot palm.

She asked, "What did you eat?"

"Just now, while I was getting the seafood for you, I saw some freshly squeezed juice and poured two glasses of it. I drank half of one and started feeling uncomfortable. I intended to rest a bit and then go to find you, but my body just kept getting hotter and hotter. Avy, I'm feeling so da*n awful. Am I gonna die or what?"

Avery stared into his clear eyes. He had just become an adult, and he was like a mix between a boy and a man, appearing innocent.

He probably had no clue about the real reason.

"No, you won't. Just wait a moment. I'll get a doctor for you."
