Chapter 169: Chapter 169

My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols Chapter 169 Fever “Alston, are you crazy? It’s raining so heavily. Where’s your umbrella!” Cynthia said anxiously and quickly held the umbrella above Alston’s head..

He stood motionless in front of the grave for a long time. The rain wet his hair and slid down his face.

Cynthia looked at his pale face. His lips were purple from the cold, his whole body was stiff, and his eyes were red. Her eyes flickered. Did Alston cry?!!

“Why are you here?” Alston’s voice was hoarse. He took the umbrella from her hand and protected her from the rain.

Cynthia became angry. “If I didn’t come, I wouldn’t know that you are ruining yourself like this. The weather is so cold, yet you still stood in the rain. If you get sick, don’t touch the babies until you recover. And don’t even think of hugging Keller!”

Alston looked at her face. She was angry, but her face was full of concern. He suddenly felt less sad than before. “I’m in good health. I’m fine!”

“Do you think you are made of iron? You are a mortal!” Cynthia glared at him angrily.

Alston lowered his head and apologized. “I’m sorry. I won’t do it again!”

Cynthia looked at him, and her anger suddenly disappeared like a broken balloon. He looked awful, and his body was full of coldness. Cynthia felt her heart had broken.

Then, she wrapped his cold hand with both of hers.

She felt like she was holding a chunk of freezing iron and even started to feel the pain of coldness in her bones.

Alston felt the warmth in her palms, and his whole heart softened. He noticed Cynthia was shivering from the cold and silently pulled out his hand.

“It’s getting late; let’s go back. I want to see the babies.” He walked down while holding Cynthia.

“Wait!” Cynthia grabbed him and turned to look at Stella’s tombstone.

The photo on the tombstone was taken before. It was Stella’s appearance when Cynthia married into the Smith family and saw her for the first time. She had fair skin and delicate facial features and seemed quite young. At that time, she was fierce and arrogant.

She bowed to the tombstone sternly. “Mom, I will take care of Alston. Rest in peace.”

Then, she turned around, took Alston’s arm, and smiled at him. “Let’s go home!”

Alston’s eyes were full of tenderness. “Okay!”

He believed that as long as Cynthia was by his side, he would live a very happy lite.

Not long after they left, a luxury car drove towards the cemetery. The door opened, and Clare came down holding a bouquet...

While in the car, Cynthia had already forced Alston to change his wet clothes. After they went back home, she pushed him upstairs to take a hot bath.

Alston obeyed. After taking a bath and changing into pajamas, Cynthia brought him warm ginger tea.

“Drink it!”

Alston smelled the spiciness of ginger, and his handsome face wrinkled. He looked at Cynthia and seemed very Chapter 169 Fever 1/3 unwilling.

Cynthia somehow saw a hint of pity in his sharp eyes.

Alston didn’t like spicy food and hated ginger.

Cynthia raised her eyebrows. “Don’t give me that look. You have to drink so that you won’t get sick.”

“You did it on purpose.” Alston picked up the ginger tea and muttered.

Cynthia smiled. “That’s right. I did it on purpose. Blame yourself for not taking good care of your own body.”

Alston sighed and took a sip. However, the ginger tea was pretty sweet, and the pungent smell of ginger was acceptable.

He quietly looked up at Cynthia. She was always more bark than bite, so she must have put a lot of sugar in the tea.

Cynthia noticed his gaze and blushed. She was annoyed and said sternly, “What are you looking at? Hurry up and drink!”

“Okay!” Alston smiled and drank the whole cup.

Cynthia put away the cup, snorted, and went into the kitchen.

After drinking the tea, Alston felt warm and happy.

Cynthia thought Alston would definitely not get sick. But unexpectedly, Alston had a fever that night.

She nestled into Alston’s arms at night and accidentally touched his cheek. Then, she realized that Alston’s body temperature was unusual, and his forehead was burning hot..

Cynthia quickly turned on the light. She found that Alston’s face was flushed red, and he was unconscious. She rushed downstairs and called Greg to find a doctor.

For an entire night, everyone was busy except for the babies.

Alston was in good health and rarely got sick. He used to lie in bed for four months because of the car accident. This fever was the only serious illness he had in these years. However, his illness came suddenly, and he didn’t recover for several days.

Cynthia was so anxious that she cried several times. Under the doctor’s treatment and Cynthia’s meticulous care, Alston finally recovered.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he met Cynthia’s eyes which were red and swollen like walnuts.

Cynthia cried!

Alston realized this and suddenly woke up, struggling to get up from the bed. “Cynthia, who bullied you!”

He just got up but was very weak after running a fever for several days. He couldn’t support himself and tell on the bed.

Cynthia quickly supported him and patted his chest lightly. “Don’t move. You’re still on a drip. Be careful!”

Alston lay obediently on the bed. His memory only stayed on the night of Stella’s burial, and he had no memory of everything after that.

“What’s wrong with me? By the way, who bullied you? Your eyes are swollen!”

Cynthia subconsciously covered her eyes, but then she put her hands down because Alston had already noticed it. Her 5/2 eyes were so swollen that there were only two little gaps left, which looked pitiful and cute.

“Who else can bully me? Alston, do you know that you have been in a coma for three days? You have been running a fever for a long time! Do you know how much I worried? I feared you would become a fool if you couldn’t recover!”

Cynthia was clearly exhausted. But when she scolded Alston, she was full of energy.

The mighty and fierce Mr. Smith lowered his head and dared not to look at his wife. This scene was hilarious.

Lorenz enjoyed seeing this show. He leaned against the table and said casually, “Alston, it’s a good thing you woke up. Cynthia took care of you for three whole days without sleeping. Her eyes are swollen, and I feel distressed watching her become like this.”

Alston felt even more guilty and lovingly touched Cynthia’s red and swollen eyes, “Cynthia, I’m sorry. Thank you.”

Before Cynthia could speak, Lorenz snorted coldly. “You actually made Cynthia cry. If you couldn’t wake up or become a fool, I would ask Cynthia to take the babies back to the Green family and find her a new husband.”

“How dare you!” Before he finished speaking, Alston’s weak and pale face suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Lorenz fiercely.

Lorenz was not frightened by him at all. He glanced at Alston. “Why not? You can’t take care of Cynthia if you become a fool. I have to think for her. I can’t let her live with a fool forever.”

Alston frowned and pursed his lips, not knowing how to talk back.

Cynthia sighed, dragged Lorenz’s arm, and pulled him out of the ward. “Lorenz, Alston is already awake. You still have work, don’t you? Go back to your company first, and come to eat at my place after Alston recovers!”

Lorenz was dragged outside.

He tapped Cynthia’s forehead. “Cynthia, you don’t even care for me anymore. You only care for Alston. So sad.”

Cynthia lowered her head guiltily. “What? No, that’s just your illusion. I like you very much as well!”

“Huh. Yeah, I believe your words.” Lorenz said ironically.

Cynthia said, “When you marry Alice, she will prefer you instead of Alston.”

Lorenz’s ears suddenly turned red, and even his handsome face was flushed. He said annoyedly, “What nonsense are you talking about? I won’t talk with you anymore. I have something else to do, and you should go back to Alston!”

After speaking, he ran away in a panic.

Cynthia looked at Lorenz and smiled slyly. She always knew that Lorenz liked Alice, and his reaction had proved her guess.
