Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1371

Meanwhile, Vera and Quill were snuggling in his private villa.

As Vera refused to take the cold medicine, she was light-headed when she woke up the next day, barely able to open her eyes.

She snuggled in the bed, feeling extremely sleepy.

What bad luck.

They had only kissed. How did she end up being infected with a cold?

"How maddening." She thought. But she dared not let him know she was feeling worse than the day before as he'd only force her to take medicine.

She was pregnant. Thus she had to be aware of what medicine she took.

As the thought ran through her head, Vera turned over and continued to snuggle in bed.

If possible, she wanted to sleep the day away.

Quill thought Vera wanted to sleep in. Moreover, they arrived at the villa rather late, so he decided not to disturb her.

However, she hadn't awoken even when it was nearly noon, so Quill went to check on her.

Hearing Quill knocked on the door, Vera became worried. She wondered if he would realize that her cold had worsened. She also realized her nasal sounded worse when she was lying down. Hence she got out of bed and paused for a moment before she opened the door.

"Hey."

Seeing she was bleary-eyed, and her hair was tousled, Quill subconsciously fixed her hair.

It was only then that Vera realized her hair was a mess. She was so worried about Quill replaceing out about her cold that she had forgotten to make herself presentable before him.

F*ck!

Compared to sleeping in unfamiliar surroundings, she could toss around in the big bed at home as much as she liked.

Which led to a tousled head of hair.

And now, Quill was fixing it for her.

Vera quickly covered her hair with her hands and took a few steps back, looking embarrassed.

"Are you still feeling unwell?"

Quill was still bothered that she was unwilling to take the cold medicine last night, so he stepped forward, wanting to place his hand on her forehead.

It was when he reached over that Vera realized he wanted to take her temperature.

But she did not feel cold nor feverish.

Hence, she let him do as he pleased.

However, it seemed that he failed to feel anything, so he placed his forehead on hers. Then he frowned slightly and asked, "You seem to have a mild fever. Do you feel dizzy?"

"Huh?" She had a mild fever?

Vera blinked and shook her head.

She was, in fact, a little dizzy, but it was still bearable.

"Don't lie."

As she had refused to take the cold medicine the night before, he wondered if she was lying to him to avoid taking the pill. "You have to take medicine to get better sooner. Or, if you prefer, we can go to the hospital."

Hearing that, Vera immediately grew worried and shook her head like a rattle.

"Oh, no, I don't want to go to the hospital."

As soon as she spoke, her voice was hoarse, and her nasal was inconcealable.

Speechless, Vera knew it was no use hiding from him any longer...

Hearing that, his frown deepened, "I knew it. Why don't you want to go to the hospital?"

Vera lowered her head and bit her lower lip. "I just don't. I'm sleepy. I just want to stay in bed. Can't I?"

"What about the medicine? Why won't you take it?"

She was neither taking medicine nor going to the hospital, so after a moment of thinking, Vera said, "Because I don't want to. Call me petulant all you want. I'm not taking it."

Then she looked straight into Quill's eyes and said, "Didn't you say I can do whatever I want? This is what I want. I'm neither taking medicine nor going to the hospital." Quill was speechless.

Was she doing this just to annoy him?

Did she want him to think he had shot himself in the foot and regret his words?

"I did, but you're sick now. This is two entirely different matters."

"I don't care. Iwon't go no matter what," Vera pouted and complained, "I was completely healthy, but you had to kiss me and get me infected! Is this my fault? No! So why should I take medicine or go to the hospital for your mistake?"

Vera praised herself for her quick thinking.

How brilliant she was to be able to think of this. He must have been rendered speechless!

Quill didn't expect Vera to put all the blame on him. Looking at the lively girl before him, he said helplessly after a moment's thought, "Okay, you win. But you have to eat something and drink more water."

"Humph!" Vera snorted, "Drink more water? What an axiom."

However, she was happy that she needn't take medicine nor go to the hospital. Hence, she went down to have lunch with Quill with a smile on her face. After lunch, Vera started feeling sleepy again.

But something important popped up in her mind. "Wait, I haven't checked in with my parents yet."

"I've already called them," Quill stopped her in her tracks and pulled her into his lap.

Vera was a little surprised to hear that and asked, "You did? When?"

"While you were sleeping in," Quill sighed, "Your parents would've been worried sick by the time you remember." Hearing this, Vera rubbed her nose with slight embarrassment and asked cheekily, "So what? Are you blaming me?" "No, I'm not." "No? I clearly saw the revulsion in your eyes just now. You think I sleep too much, don't you? You... Mm!"

He planted another kiss on her, stopping her from speaking further.

Vera hurriedly pushed him away and said, "I still have a cold."

Pressing his forehead against hers, Quill gently kissed the tip of her nose and murmured in a hoarse voice, "Never mind, I'm still recovering too. Well both have it." Vera blushed and stared at him. "I... You... Who wants that?!"

"Why not?"

Quill inched closer, and his lips were nearly touching hers, but he didn't kiss her. Vera blinked nervously, and their breaths intertwined. She couldn't stand this kind of flitation and tilted her head back.

It would've been fine if she hadn't. But as soon as she looked up, her vision went dark, and her lips were sealed.

She was enveloped in his dominant aura. Vera's head went blank in an instant, but she was jolted back to consciousness and no longer cared whether she had a cold or not.

In the end, Quill carried her in his arms and brought her upstairs.

It was only when they entered the bedroom that Vera finally realized what was going on.
