Chapter 66 I Will Not Forgive You
“Xani, I want to drink water,” Yuliana pleaded, her throat tingling.
“All right, hold on a second.”
Yuliana had a vague feeling that Xandria’s voice wasn’t normal, but she couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it. After some thought, her head felt dizzy and painful.
Yuliana felt herself being helped up after a while, her back leaning on a warm shoulder, and then a glass of warm water touched her lips. Instinctively, she opened her mouth and drank it quickly.
Cough! Cough!
As she drank it too fast, Yuliana choked and coughed nonstop. Her chest was soaked from coughing up warm water.
“Drink it slowly. Nobody is trying to keep you from drinking.”
Yuliana’s ears picked up on an impatient tone, but she didn’t feel uneasy when she heard it. Instead, she was sad and wanted to cry.
It had been a long time since her father, Damian, had been imprisoned, so no one had spoken to her in that manner in a long time.
When ill, a person might be particularly vulnerable, especially if their minds were foggy. Tears began to fall down Yuliana’s cheeks as she became overcome by emotion.
With a tissue, Christopher absorbed the water stains on her clothes. When he noticed she was crying, he immediately came to a halt. He was perplexed and asked, stiffly, “Why are you crying?”
Yuliana’s throat itched once more, and she couldn’t stop coughing. Her face became flushed from coughing after a while.
Then, Christopher patted her on the back and remained silent for a few moments. After she had finished coughing, he said, “If you cry again, I will leave you alone. I’ve been serving you all night, and I’m exhausted, but I haven’t cried yet. Meanwhile, you’re the one who’s sobbing uncontrollably!”
Hearing that, Yuliana burst into tears. Her tears had completely soaked Christopher’s shoulders.
Christopher couldn’t help but soften his tone when he saw her sobbing so hard. He comforted her back with his hands and didn’t say anything else to irritate her. Instead, he hummed a song over and over.
When Yuliana got tired of crying, she calmed down in his arms and fell back asleep.
After Yuliana had fallen asleep, he gently placed her back on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and stared at her for a while.
Her face was smeared with both dried and wet tears. Her long, thick lashes were wet as well, giving her a frail and pitiful appearance.
Christopher gently moved a few of the hairs that were stuck to her face due to the tears with his fingertips, then paused for a moment on the tip of her nose.
“What a crybaby,” he said.
Christopher then sat on the bed for a few moments before getting up and going to the bathroom. He returned to wipe her face after twisting a towel soaked in cold water. Finally, he used a thermometer to take her temperature. Although her temperature had dropped significantly, she still had a low fever.
Christopher picked up the phone from the bedside cabinet and turned it on after confirming Yuliana’s safety. A phone call came in almost immediately. He took the phone and stepped outside before
answering the phone.
“Yuliana, where are you?” On the other end of the phone, Xandria’s worried voice could be heard. Xandria arrived twenty minutes later, accompanied by Kathryn and Larry.
Outside the hotel room, Christopher leaned against the wall, his head cocked. Soon after, he noticed Xandria and the others.
Xandria charged forward, enraged, and inquired, “Why is Yuliana with you? What exactly did you do to her?” “Ms. Yeager, can you reflect on yourself before questioning others? You have no right to blame others
because you left your sick and feverish friend alone in the homestay and went out to enjoy yourself!” Christopher sneered as he stared at her.
“What? Yuliana has a fever?” Xandria was taken aback and became nervous. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The previous day, Yuliana only said that she was a little tired and wanted to take a rest. Xandria assumed it was due to her pregnancy and didn’t give it much thought. Meanwhile, Kathryn and Larry decided to come over to see Xandria after seeing her invitation on Instagram the night before. However, because their car’s engine failed halfway through, they requested that Xandria pick them up.
She didn’t bring Yuliana with her because she assumed the latter was resting at the time. She reasoned that since she would be back in a few hours, Yuliana would be fine alone at the homestay in the meantime.
When she left, she also informed Yuliana that she was going out, to which Yuliana hummed in acknowledgment.
She returned to the homestay after leaving for a few hours to fetch Kathryn and Larry. When they returned, it was almost early in the morning. The homestay was completely dark. Yuliana was gone; and her phone had been turned off.
Feeling anxious, she spent several hours in the ancient town with Kathryn and Larry looking for Yuliana. She had intended to call the police if she couldn’t find Yuliana by dawn.
In the morning, she tried to make another call to Yuliana, but she didn’t expect that it would be Christopher who picked up the phone.
After Christopher told her the location, she immediately rushed over there with Kathryn and Larry.
“How is she? Where is she now?” she asked anxiously.
“She still has a low fever, and she’s currently asleep,” Christopher said as he looked at the door next to her.
“I’ll go in and take a look!” exclaimed Xandria.
Xandria was about to open the door and enter when Christopher moved his slender body and blocked the door.
Christopher was nearly eight inches taller than Xandria. Because of his height, he had to lower his gaze to look at her when he stood up straight at the time. His expression and gaze were cold, causing a shiver to run down Xandria’s spine.
Stubborn, she stared at him angrily and inquired, “What are you doing?”
“Ms. Yeager, if you dare to leave her alone again, I will not forgive you,” Christopher said coldly.
