Chapter 387 Thinking on oneâs feet and being quickâwitted were of utmost importance to remain employed in such a wealthy family.
This time, Stella entered the room without knocking on the door. Weston looked over. âWhat are you doing?â âJoan is worried that youâll die from your sickness and asked me to bring you some medicine.â
âDid you come over of your own accord or was it because Joan asked for your help?â âWhat do you think?â Stellaâs tone was mild as she sat at the side of his bed and retrieved the right dosage of medication. She handed him a thermometer. âOpen your mouth and put this in.â He paused for a moment, keeping silent as he stared at her. Stella couldnât comprehend what he was thinking. âWhat are you staring at me for? Measure your temperature.â
Westonâs interest was piqued as he stepped back. âHow rare. I used to always be the one to command you. Now, itâs your turn.â
Stella was stunned for a moment. A while later, she glared at him and flung the thermometer on the bed.
âDo whatever you want.â
With that, she stood up to leave. Weston grabbed her wrist with a smile. âWe were married once, and youâre still so shy?â
âWho said that Iâm being shy? I just find you unabashed!â
Stella flung his hand away and tried to leave again, but Weston didnât let her.
He was almost done with his work anyway, he thought, as he pulled Stella into his arms. He stuffed the thermometer in her hand and requested, âHelp me take my temperature.â
âAre you a child? Donât you know how to use a thermometer? You either put it in your mouth or stick it in your armpit!â âI donât. Teach me.â Stella took a deep breath. âDo you take me for a fool?â
âOf course not,â Weston caressed her hair. âI really donât know.â
He rubbed his forehead against hers. âJust feel how warm I am...â
Stella instinctively wanted to avoid his touch, but she could only struggle in vain.
When their foreheads touched, Stella gasped in shock. âYouâre really quite warm to the touch.â
Previously, when she touched his forehead, she found it only slightly warm. Now, however, it felt like his temperature had risen.
âDo you really not want to go to the hospital?â
She looked at him with curiosity and realized that he even managed to spend the entire afternoon working. âYou really think youâre superman.â
Weston remained silent, and only his heavy breathing could be heard.
Stella could feel his breath hot on her skin. It was so warm that it made her feel uncomfortable. âWeston, did the fever burn you silly?â âWhat nonsense.â He lowered his head and bit her shoulder. âEven if I become silly, donât you dare think about leaving.â
Stella remained silent. How could he still be thinking about stopping her from leaving at a time like this?
âDid I owe you big time in my last life?â Stella cursed under her breath. She pulled away from his embrace and walked off to pour him a cup of water.
âDrink some,â she instructed.
Weston looked at her, unmoving.
Stella said, âDo you need me to feed you water?!â
âI said that I canât move my hands,â he leaned back and insisted. Stella took a deep breath and slammed the cup on the bedside table. âDo as you please. In fact, if you were to die from your fever, Iâll have the chance to leave.â âDonât you dare!â Weston croaked in a low voice. âStand right there, donât move.â
âWhy should I listen to you?â Weston shut his eyes and said, âCome over. Let me tell you more about that overseas university.â
Stella halted in her footsteps and turned to look at him. âReally?â
