Chapter 579 He Was Willing to Dote Her
At this time, Aletta explained. “Last night, she waited outside your house. She had waited all night and caught a high fever.
I initially wanted you to take care of her, but I heard you were drunk… Then Marcie insisted that we bring her here, and that’s why we’re here.”
Ray stood frozen for a few more seconds.
Then, without saying a word. He abruptly threw down his utensils and picked up the tray. He hurriedly ascended the stairs.
Looking at this scene, Jason and Aletta glance at each other.
They exchanged a knowing glance.
Despite his verbal claims of letting go, his anxious actions revealed his true feelings.
Marcie and Wally also noticed this.
Regarding Ray’s reaction, Marcie couldn’t help but ask concernedly, “Aletta, can you tell me what’s going on between them? Are they fighting?
Ray comes back early in the morning, completely drunk and refusing to say anything.
And on the other hand, Flora seems sick and visibly distressed. What’s happening with them?”
Aletta had a favorable impression of Marcie.
During their interaction, Marcie had a gentle and warm demeanor. She treated Aletta with sincerity and enthusiasm, and it made Aletta feel a sense of warmth and “motherly” affection that she had never experienced before.
Therefore, she softly reassured, “They are fine, they just had a little. disagreement. Give them some time to talk, and they’ll make up. Don’t worry.”
Even after hearing this. Marcie couldn’t fully let go of her concerns. “Are you sure?”
Aletta nodded affirmatively, “I’m sure.”
Jason chimed in, concurring. “That’s indeed the case.”
With their reassurance, Marcie finally felt relieved.
She patted her chest, feeling a weight lifted off her shoulders, and said, “That’s good! I thought Flora was in serious trouble…”
Then, she picked up her utensil again and smiled, “Come on, Aletta, have some more food!”
Aletta nodded, her eyebrows raised slightly, and graciously replied, “Thank you, please have some more too.”
Upstairs.
Ray entered the guest room with a tray.
As Ray entered the room, he first heard a faint breathing sound. Then, illuminated by the warm yellow light. He saw Flora sleeping on the bed.
Flora appeared to be very tired, curled up under the covers. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed. And she exuded a sense of vulnerability that made one felt pity for her.
Ray gently placed the tray on the bedside table and then reached out to touch Flora’s forehead.
It felt extremely hot, like a piece of burning coal.
He immediately frowned as he recalled Aletta’s words, becoming visibly worried.
“You can’t see me, won’t you go home? Freezing out there! You’re the one sent by God to torment me, right?”
Ray muttered with some dissatisfaction, although his tone was filled with helplessness.
Flora wasn’t in a deep sleep.
Because she was in an unfamiliar place and feeling unwell, she had been in a semi-awake state.
When someone came in just now, she sensed it.
Her eyelids felt heavy, and her mind was foggy. This caused her reactions to slow down, so she did not immediately open her eyes when she sensed someone’s presence.
At this moment, she felt the cool touch of a man’s hand and heard a soft voice. Her eyelashes trembled, and she struggled to lift her eyelids, looking at the man.
Before her eyes, she saw Ray’s gentle and handsome face.
An unknown emotion surged in her heart, tinged with bitterness. She couldn’t help but speak hoarsely, “I’m just resting here. How did I trouble you?”
Ray was taken aback and quickly retracted his hand. His words. involuntarily carried concern. “Are you awake?”
Flora nodded, unable to suppress a cough.
Ray had never seen her in such a weakened state before.
In an instant, his heart felt as if it had been tightly squeezed.
He sat down directly at the edge of the bed, feeling somewhat nervous as he asked, “How do you feel? Are you very uncomfortable?”
Flora straightforwardly replied. “Yes. I feel uncomfortable. Dizzy and feverish sensations all over my body. It’s unwell, but…”
She paused and suddenly reached out to grab Ray’s cold hand. She placed it on her forehead and said, “It feels much better like this.”
Ray instinctively wanted to pull his hand back.
But Flora held onto it firmly.
They locked eyes, and Ray couldn’t help but laugh. “What do you consider my hand to be?” As a fever patch?”
Flora softly replied, “Yes.” and rubbed on his palm.
Her demeanor was just like a pampered kitten!
Ray felt his heart melting and didn’t move, allowing her to gently rubbed…
Neither of them spokes, nor the atmosphere suddenly became tranquil.
Flora looked at the man and thought she couldn’t be like this.
After finally coming here and seeing him, she must clarify things this time!
So, she softened her tone and apologized, saying, “I’m sorry for what happened last night. It was my mistake.
I’ve been thinking about it all night and even during the day. I feel…”
Ray could hear the hoarseness in her voice, as if it were about to smoke. But she still wanted to explain, and Ray couldn’t help but feel heartache.
He subconsciously interrupted her and said. “What happened last night isn’t important anymore. It was my impatience. I knew that in the situation, yet I pressured you to respond to me so quickly.
I should have more patience and give you more time to develop feelings for me…
So, there’s no need for you to explain anymore. That matter is already in the past! The most important thing now is focusing on recovering from your illness.”
Immediately, he took the porridge and said, “Are you hungry? Get up and have some porridge. Later, I’ll make sure you take your medication.”
Flora was taken aback but insisted, “I want to finish what I was saying…”
Ray was stern, and said, “Your throat is already on fire, and I can’t stand to hear it. Be obedient and stop talking. Whatever it is, we can discuss it once you’re better.”
As he spoke, he was filled with genuine affection. “I have all the time in the world to listen. Whatever you want to say in the future, I will listen attentively. As for the things I said in anger before, please forget about them!
I don’t want to be apart from you. So, no matter how long it takes. I will wait until you wholeheartedly fall in love with me!”
Looking at the sincere expression on his face, Flora felt indescribable emotions welling up in her chest.
She couldn’t help but think, “Where does it need to wait? In the face of such genuine eyes and emotions, who could resist?”
With that, she nodded and let go of her thought to explain further.
After all, it could wait until she was feeling better.
If they didn’t separate!
At that moment, Flora glanced at him and said, “Then you feed me?”
Ray raised an eyebrow and chuckled, “Sure, I’ll feed you!”
He was willing to dote on her!
Soon, he helped her up. And he carefully fed her the porridge.
Downstairs.
Aletta and Jason had finished dinner with Marcie and Wally and were preparing to leave.
Before they departed, Aletta wanted to see Flora, so they went upstairs together.
As they reached the doorway, they heard voices coming from inside.
Out of curiosity, Aletta instinctively looked inside. She saw the two of them lovingly feeding each other porridge, occasionally leaning into whisper something. The atmosphere looked harmonious.
Aletta blinked and exchanged a glance with Jason. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Jason’s expression seemed to say, “Now you can rest assured.
Aletta smiled and held his hand, silently saying, “Let’s go home?”
Jason found her gesture adorable, so he gently kissed the back of her head. They then quietly retraced their steps and left without disturbing the couple inside.
