Chapter 239

Caroline bought some cold and fever medicine before rushing home. When she got there, she Immediately went upstairs to look for Kirk.

“Have you checked your temperature?” Caroline asked.

Her tense expression cleared slightly when she saw Kirk looking as he usually did on the bed. She put her hand on Kirk’s forehead to check the temperature.

Caroline frowned. “You don’t seem to have a lever.”

“Really?” Kirk smoothly pulled Caroline into his embrace.

“I tested my temperature three times. It was 100 degrees Fahrenheit all three times. Maybe the fever subsided because I took some medicine.”

Caroline was a bit suspicious. “Then let me get the thermometer and measure it again.”

“No need.” Kirk buried his face in the crook of Caroline’s neck.

“You’re my medicine. Since you’re home, I’m not sick anymore.”

“It seems you really have a fever. You’re even talking nonsense.” Caroline pushed him away in a huff.

“I was in such a rush to get back that I even forgot to tell Grandpa I was leaving. I better send him a text first.”

Kirk hugged her tight, unwilling to let her go. “Send it from here. I want to hold you longer.”

His low voice was low and a bit soft, melting Caroline’s heart into a puddle. She adjusted her position so she was more comfortable and sent Jude a message.

Kirk pressed his chin into Caroline’s shoulder, watching as her slim fingers tapped on the keyboard.

Moved by desire, he bit her earlobe lightly.

He mumbled, “What did Mr. Morrison Senior call you over for?

‘Yes.‘

Before she realized what was happening, the phone was taken out of her hands. Kirk flipped them over and pressed Caroline below him.

Caroline was confused. Wasn’t Kirk sick? Why was he still so energetic?

After their bout of passion, Caroline went into the bathroom to clean up. During this time, her eyes were nearly closed. Later, when Kirk placed her on the bed. Caroline fell dead asleep without knowing what had happened.

Kirk turned on the light and looked at Caroline under the yellow glow. Her features were relaxed and defenseless. Seeing how she could fall into such a deep sleep when he was there proved how much she trusted him.

As Kirk touched her face, he smiled. He wanted Caroline to keep trusting him, even if it meant maintaining a lifelong lie.

Right then, the screen of his phone lit up on the bedside table. Kirk picked up the call from Charles.

“Sir, Howard Collins contacted Ms. Dawson today. He asked her to introduce you to him. Should I warn her about not continuing contact with the Collins family?”

Kirk smiled even wider. “No need.”

The prey had already taken the bait. “Your job now is to make sure that the matter looks like it was done by her alone,”

He replied. “Yes, s. 11 nd an excuse to contact Ms. Dawson these two days. This way, it will give her a chance to invite Mr. Cr “Good Go ahead”

After hanging went back to bed. He leaned down to kiss Caroline’s lips. Then he climbed into bed and pulled her into his embrace Just like that he fell asleep too The next morning. Caroline woke up refreshed and went to work rom the past few days had disappeared, and
