Chapter 433 - 435: Torturing Her Mercilessly
But when it got down to business, Xia Xiaonuan found that Nangong Yaoling was particularly ruthless today, almost tormenting her to death. She felt like an egg being fried in an oil pan, with the egg whites on top and the bottom sizzling, she couldn’t stand it anymore and kept begging Nangong Yaoling to go easy on her. He thought she had cooled down and mercifully picked her up and continued in the car...
However, the car was another experience entirely. Nangong Yaoling seemed to have a grudge against her, and Xia Xiaonuan didn’t even know when she passed out. When she vaguely woke up, Nangong Yaoling had just exhausted himself and lay beside her.
It was getting dark outside, the sky was blue and white, giving off a dreamy and surreal feeling.
Xia Xiaonuan stared out of the car window, feeling as if she had come to another world. Nangong Yaoling was asleep next to her, his handsome face obscured by the light. She suddenly felt that this place was a bit terrifying, wondering if a pack of wolves would suddenly spring out from all directions. She dared not look outside anymore and even quietly snuggled into Nangong Yaoling’s arms.
Then, after a while, she fell asleep again.
In the early hours, Nangong Yaoling woke up from his dream.
By the moonlight, he looked at the woman in his arms.
He reached out and touched her cheek, his brow furrowing suddenly.
He hurriedly patted her face.
But Xia Xiaonuan had already passed out.
This woman’s constitution was too weak, and she had a high fever again!
Nangong Yaoling was helpless. He dressed himself, covered her with clothes, and quickly started the car.
...
In the bedroom, Nangong Yaoling personally held an ice pack to cool Xia Xiaonuan down.
Meanwhile, the doctor was giving her an IV drip.
"Young Master, don’t worry, with the injection and the ice pack, Young Madam’s fever should subside soon."
"I understand," Nangong Yaoling said faintly.
After the doctor left, Nangong Yaoling lowered his head and looked at the girl in his arms.
Her delicate face was flushed, even in sleep her brow was furrowed.
Nangong Yaoling couldn’t help but reach out and touch her brow.
He gently smoothed it out.
But soon, her delicate brow knit again.
She seemed uncomfortable in her dream, her head moved slightly and she snuggled closer to his chest.
Nangong Yaoling felt a tightness in his chest.
Is it only when you’re asleep that you can quietly lie in my arms?
If my love can’t make you happy, shouldn’t I let go?
Xia Xiaonuan...
He moved the ice pack from her forehead, lowered his head, and gently kissed her forehead.
Thinking about the scene in the café yesterday afternoon, his heart ached again.
Seeing that her fever had subsided, he then laid her body flat on the bed.
Sitting by the bed, he stared at her for a long time, until the IV drip was finished, and he personally removed the needle, pressing her hand for a moment to stop the bleeding.
He placed her hand under the blanket and tucked in the corners.
Got up, turned off the bedside lamp.
Turned around and left.
When she awakened, she found herself lying in the bedroom bed.
Yun came to knock on the door with a bowl of ginger soup, and Xia Xiaonuan felt a severe headache. Yun told her that Nangong Yaoling had brought her back last night, she had a fever again and received an injection.
Early this morning, Nangong Yaoling seemed to have caught a cold too, took medicine, and went to work.
Xia Xiaonuan was a bit surprised, if it weren’t for her physical discomfort, she would have almost thought that everything last night was just a dream.
Her hand still had a band-aid on it.
She reached out and pulled it off. Yun said, "Young Madam, I’ve prepared hot water. Get up, take a bath, and freshen up. The doctor will come to give you another injection later."
