Chapter 22

Adriane was angry at first, then she felt that it was funny She stared at Arthur blankly for a second before bursting into laughter

“You are being so annoying. I’m trying to reason with you.” Although she was complaining, her tone was full of coquetry.

Arthur said senously, “I’m also trying to reason with you” The blandness on his expression became more intense, and even his sharp eyes conveyed a

hint of softness.

She was anxious and sad at the same time. She did not dare to touch Arthur, so she lightly punched his bedside twice with her little fist. “You have to sea the doctor anyway”

She did not know if Arthur would listen to her. Anyway, she took a firm stand on sending him to the hospital.

Seeing that the situation had only calmed down for a short while before it became tense again, Arthur suddenly took his hand out from under the

blanket, covering his nose. There was a deep frown on his face.

Not hiding the dislike on his face, he asked, “I’ve been wanting to say this since you came here. The smell of your body is so strong. You really stink”

Adriane was so worried about him that she rushed back from the race track without even taking a shower. Suddenly, hearing that, she felt as though he

had caught her mapping.

An hour ago, she was surrounded by a bunch of people who adored her because of her beauty, but when she returned home, she was despised by her

fiance!

Gritting her teeth, she thought to herself, “If I didn’t care about you, I would not even say a word to you! You stupid man!”

She took a deep breath, calming herself down. She decided not to argue with the patient. While Arthur still had his hands covering his nose, Adriane hit

upon an idea.

Although she could only see Arthur and Yael in the mansion, according to her previous observations, besides the bodyguards, there were at least four

servants.

One cooked the meal, two cleaned the house, and the last one seemed to help Arthur look after the dog

The mansion, inside and out, was kept spotlessly clean every day. Even though Arthur was seriously ill, he was still fresh and clean. Looking at him now, Adriane wondered, “Could he be… A clean freak?”

At the thought of this, Adriane smiled slyly, approaching Arthur step by step. Arthur was about to vomit from the smell of the horse on her body. Covering his mouth and nose, he said, “Step back! Go take a shower!”

Adriane snorted lightly, splaying her fingers and placing them on top of his head. She looked down at him, raising her arched eyebrows. “I’ll take a shower if you promise me that you’ll see a doctor.”

“Adriane Stewart!” Arthur’s face darkened instantly. How dare she talk terms with him?

The vigor he exuded was so terrifying that her heart was pounding non–stop. The color of her lips had faded, but she held on to look into his eyes.

“In any case, if you don’t agree, I won’t leave. Not only will I stink you out, but I’ll also kiss you.” Saying that, she echoed her own words. “Right: Anyway. you are my fiance. It’s okay if I kiss you”

Finishing the sentence, she closed her eyes, pressing her lips against his face.

Arthur could not take it anyinore. Blue veins stood out on his temples as he gritted his teeth. He said, “I promise you!” What kind of trouble did he bring to himself? He thought she was a delicate girl when they met at the engagement party.

Adriane breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She would definitely not be able to kiss him, since she was not that thick skinned. Fortunately, she won this

round.

She swiftly moved away from the bed, her skirt hanging down to cover her beautiful legs. She smiled smugly at Arthur. “Arthur, I’ll go take a shower

then.”

Afraid that Arthur would devour her alive, she ran out of the room, giving Yael a wink, implying that she nailed it.

Yael exclaimed with a low voice, “Miss Stewart, how did you do it?”

She smiled. “It’s a secret.”

By the time she came back from her shower, the private doctor had already finished diagnosing Arthur. He said that it was just a normal fever, so the patient just needed to take some medicine and rest for a few days.

Hearing footsteps, the doctor who was standing beside the bed turned his head. Under his glasses, his gentle brown eyes dwelled on Adriane.

Taking a glance at Arthur, Adriane noticed that his eyes were closed. She asked softly, “Doctor, how is he?”

“He just took some medicine and fell asleep. Are you Mr. Arthur’s fiance, Miss Stewart?”

“Yes.”

“I’m Tom White, Mr. Arthur’s attending doctor.”

Adriane looked him over, replaceing that this doctor was very young. He seemed to be in his twenties, having a handsome face that was comparable to that, of a movie star. He was more than six feet tall, wearing a white coat with a stethoscope hanging around his neck. He was straight and statuesque.

Compared to Arthur, his facial features were much gentler. He always had a smile on his face. Although he was wearing glasses, he displayed overwhelming affinity.

Seeing Adriane Stewart, the patient’s family member, Tom White said, “Mr. Arthur needs to take the medicine three times a day. Take it after the meal. Don’t let him catch a cold in the rain again.”

So he was sick because of the rain? But why did he go out in the rain?

Suppressing her doubts in the heart, Adriane said gratefully, “I’ll keep it in mind.”

Before leaving the mansion, Tom said, “I was supposed to come over tomorrow morning to help Mr. Arthur with his rehabilitation, but his condition is not suitable for that right now. I will arrange another appointment with Yael.”

“Okay.”

After sending off the doctor, Adriane went out to look for Yael. “How did Mr. Arthur catch a cold?”

Looking at Adriane, Yael hesitated.

After all, she was not an eighteen–year–old girl. Her face turned cold. “I am his fiance. I have the right to know.”

As a subordinate, Yael had no right to interfere in Arthur’s affairs, but the person in front of him was different. Although having such a stubborn temper, Mr. Arthur made exceptions for Adriane time and again. It was enough to make people think deeply.

After thinking it through, he told Adriane how Arthur had waited for her to return home.

Hearing this, Adriane fett lost, not uttering a word. She remained silent for a long time.

She felt that this man was silly and she was touched by his silliness.

*I’ll stay behind to take care of him tonight. You can go back first.” After saying that, she returned to the room, walking to the bed. She checked his temperature, replaceing that it was still high. Even his breathing was heavy.

She got a basin of cold water, wet the towel, folded it, and placed it on his forehead. Then, she scrubbed his arm with the alcohol Tom left behind for physical cooling

He must have been really tired. He did not wake up even after being fiddled like that.

She was busy until after midnight. During this time, she only took a bite of food. When she was extremely sleepy, she would lie by his bed and take a nap,

When Arthur woke up the next morning, the feeling of sickness had almost disappeared. Although his body was still weak, his mind was much clearer than yesterday.

Looking towards the bedside, he saw a slender girl sitting on the floor with her arm on the edge of the bed. She was sleeping quietly with her head on her

arm.

She had changed her clothes, her hair a little messy. There was a basin of water and a used towel beside her legs.

Confusion flashed across Arthur’s eyes, as well as some inexplicable things.

Did she stay here for him the entire night?
