In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 106

Seeing that Skylar hadn't taken off her coat, the germophobic Tobiascouldn't help but started, “I'll help you take off your coat. It's just toodirty coming back from the hospital in it. It must be full of bacteria bynow."

Skylar didn't want to move at all. She lay in the bed like a dried andworn-out sponge with her hand tugging tightly at the quilt as sheshook her head.

With much difficulty, Tobias suppressed his impulse to drag Skylar up tochange her clothes. Then, he turned around to open the wardrobeinstead but found it empty within.

He suddenly remembered that when Skylar moved out, she packedeverything and left nothing behind.

She had so few clothes that she couldn't bear to leave any of them hereand once she left, she had no plan of returning.

“Don't sleep just yet. I'll go prepare the medicine. Take them before yousleep.” Tobias took the medication out and read the instructionscarefully.

Skylar shook her head and answered, “I don't want to take them. It'sawful, Meredith.”

As she was half-awake, she mistook the person who was taking care ofher when she was sick as Meredith.

Tobias paused briefly in his tracks and then left to get some warm waterfor her to be taken together with the medicine.

When he returned to the room. Skylar was already curled up in thequilt, with only her puny yet pale face showing underneath.Nevertheless, she was still strikingly beautiful.

“Be a good girl and take the medicine.” He put the glass on thebedside.

Then, he lifted Skylar's shoulder up effortlessly and let her lean in hisarms. He could feel her skin still burning.

Taking the glass and placing it near Skylar's lips, he said, “After you takethis medicine, I need to go to bed as well. I still have some business toattend to before noon.”

Again, his deep and soft voice coaxing her gently was exceedinglypleasing to the ears. Tobias, who hadn't slept for over three nights wasa little exhausted as well.

He noticed that sometimes, he could get some good and peacefulnights of sleep around Skylar. There were certain days when he evendoubted if Skylar had drugged him.

Skylar was now immune to Tobias’ rare tenderness, and she shook herhead. “It's too bitter and hard to swallow. I'll take it later.”

It suddenly dawned on Tobias. What am I doing here? Coaxing a

child? He despised troublesome women. But here he was, putting upwith Skylar so patiently.

Frowning as he looked at Skylar's sickly pale face, which was the resultof her fever and yet, she was still as spoiled as a child, he ordered, “Takeit”

Skylar ignored him totally.

Tobias took the glass and take in a mouthful. Then, his other handpinched on her jaw and made her take the medicine together with thewarm water.

Skylar, who was almost asleep, opened her eyes instantly as her mouthwas filled with the taste of the medicine. She looked like she was goingto throw up and before she knew it, Tobias sealed her lips with his.When their lips parted, Skylar started retching.

It was definitely the most bitter kiss she had ever had.

Yet, her face was lifted by Tobias and he commanded, “Swallow it. Howcan you recover if you don't take the medicine?”

With a long face, Skylar swallowed the medicine with some difficulty.Looking at Skylar's pitiable post-medication face, he kissed her lips andsaid softly, “Sleep for a while and you'll be okay. I'll be accompanyingyou here.”

There was still a bitter taste in Tobias’ mouth. Their kiss just then was sodeep that he could feel the wild longing coming from his heatedcrotch.

Taking in a long breath, the yearning in his eyes deepened and he wasstruggling forcibly to repress his desire.

It was the next day's afternoon when Skylar woke up. Her clothes weresoaked in sweat and her temperature had returned to normal. She hadbeen perspiring profusely.

Her hair was squishily sticking on her face and there were a few strandsof them on her lips.

She patted softly on her head which was still aching and got off thebed. Her steps were still giddy as though she was stepping on cottonand her heels felt weak.

Coming down from the second floor, she saw Tobias talking to thephone with a stern face in the living room, with one hand on his hip.The buttons on his shirt were loosely fastened and his sleeves werecrumpled up to his elbow. The perfect and sleek curves of his musculararms outlined the vigor of men.

Skylar couldn“t help taking a few more glances at him. He's clearlyaging but still so incredibly sexy. Men in their thirties never failed tocharm women.
