Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 857

Joshua could not fight the frown on his face when he heard Fiona’s words.

He lowered his head to stare at her with a hint of solemnity in his scrutinizing gaze. "Fiona, you know your condition better than anyone else; even losing control of your emotions would make you have difficulty breathing and get hospitalized. Sexual intercourse requires even more physical exertion than fighting. I don't think your body will be able to handle that at all."
