Is he dead for some reason?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrances, don\u2019t scare me like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I go over and lie on top of him while sticking my ear to his chest. When I hear a throbbing not far away, my worried heart can finally relax.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet off me. Even if I\u2019m not dead, I will be dead because of your weight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances complains in a low voice, but I can sense a fatigue in his voice.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, even though he\u2019s wearing something, I can feel that his body temperature is abnormally high.<\/p>\n<p>Why is his body scorching like he is shrouded in flames?<\/p>\n<p>I touch his forehead, and it is as hot as touching a boiling kettle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have high fever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I disclose the news to him worriedly.<\/p>\n<p>Frances lifts his eye lids as he shoots a glance at me, \u201cI only realize today that you really like to be on top.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Likes being on top?<\/p>\n<p>Since I am not a pure and innocent girl anymore, I immediately understand his meaning. I clamber down from him while muttering, \u201cYou\u2019re so sick right now but you still can crack useless jokes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances lets out a weak laugh before shutting his eyes again.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first time I am seeing him like this, and admittedly I am a little worried.<\/p>\n<p>While ignoring his massive frame, I help him to get off the bed with all my might and hold him while heading outside.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know whether his car is parked outside. I can only try to hail a taxi for now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSir, send us to the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I say worriedly.<\/p>\n<p>Frances shakes his head in disapproval, \u201cI won\u2019t go to the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He is so hot right now, so why did he claim that he is cold?<\/p>\n<p>However, he is indeed shivering at the moment. It doesn\u2019t seem like he is just pretending.<\/p>\n<p>I have no other way besides letting him hug me like that, although the temperature surrounding me is too high for my comfort.<\/p>\n<p>Just when I almost pass out due to the heat, Frances starts to undress himself.<\/p>\n<p>This is crazy. Is this illness-stricken man still thinking about that sort of thing even if he is in so much agony?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are you doing? Calm down now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I try to stop him.<\/p>\n<p>He starts to undress me too while I\u2019m saying that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrances, please stop. Can you only think about other things after your fever has recovered?\u201d I scold him vehemently.<\/p>\n<p>However, even though Frances is besieged by illness, I am still no match in terms of strength. I can only watch him removing all of my clothes.<\/p>\n<p>His scorching skin is now directly in contact with mine, which makes me feel even hotter and suffocating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-190","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
