EX-husband Groveling to Me

Chapter 184 You've Got a Fever

But the next moment, she felt a bitter taste spreading across her mouth.

She tried to open her mouth to spit it out, but Austin's lips blocked her until the pill had finished

dispersing and he withdrew it, "Drink water, it is sweet."

In an instant, Suny was much more awake, and she raised her hand to push him away, before

accepting the cup handed over by Austin.

It was honey water and it was indeed sweet.

Yet despite this, the bitterness of the fever-reducing medicine in her mouth would not go away.

Suny frowned and inclined her head to glance out of the window.

The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were half drawn and she could clearly see that it was light

outside.

The fever made her uncomfortable, her body was hot and baking as if she was in a fire, and the inside

of her throat was hot and sore.

It took Suny a few seconds to remember why Austin was here, she withdrew her eyes and looked at

him, "Why are you still here?"

"I accidentally fell asleep last night."

He made light of the fact that Suny was only sick, not brain-damaged, and wouldn't believe him.

Austin had no intention of letting Suny believe either, as he glanced at the already empty cup in her

hand, "Do you want more water?"

Hearing this from him, Suny's hand subconsciously grasped the cup in her hand, "You can go now."

As if he couldn't understand her words, "You have a fever, I just took your temperature, thirty-eight point

four."

"It's none of your business."

Because of the inflammation in her throat, Suny's voice had completely changed, and her normally light

and warm fleshy voice was now hoarse as hell.

Suny had just woken up from a nap and really didn't have much strength to argue with him.

She stopped talking and put on her slippers and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Suny looked at herself in the mirror, the uncomfortable feeling of her body and Austin's helplessness

made her feel particularly bad.

She had never known Austin to be such a bully, taking advantage of her illness.

The cold water hit her face and Suny shuddered, and she instantly came to full consciousness.

She looked at herself in the mirror for a while, and after washing up, Suny had calmed down a lot.

Inside the room, Austin was also nowhere to be seen, Suny thought he finally had the self-awareness

to leave, and had just gone downstairs, but she saw the man carrying the takeaway bag coming from

the stairs.

She stood at the stairway and looked at him, "Austin, are you planning to stay with me today?"

He carried the takeaway to the table and set it down before looking up at her, "I'm not comfortable with

you having a fever."

It was really righteous.

Suny tugged at the corner of her lips and poured a glass of warm water.

"There's porridge and noodles, what do you want?"

When Austin's words came, Suny was bowing her head and drinking water. Hearing his words, she

raised her eyes slightly and shifted her gaze to that table.

At this time, Austin opened the lid and a fragrance of porridge wafted in.

Suny felt hungry all of a sudden.

She took another sip of water, then lifted her leg and walked over, taking the lunch box with the

porridge herself, "I'll have the porridge, thanks."

It was already late, Suny had an early meeting today, but she woke up at nine o'clock.

Just as she sat down, Rosa's phone call came through.

Suny looked at the caller ID, "Rosa."

"Miss Holland, do you have a cold?"

"Yes, I won't be attending the morning meeting."

"Okay."

Rosa said, hesitating for a moment and couldn't help but ask again, "Do you need me to go over

there?"

Suny glanced at Austin who was sitting across the table, "No need, I took my medicine."

At the mention of medicine, Suny thought again of that kiss when she was not awake.

Hanging up the phone, Suny's face went cold.

She felt annoyed at the sight of Austin now, but he was still sitting across from her, and she couldn't get

rid of him.

Austin knew that Suny did not want to see him, but what happened last night had given him a lot of

strength.

It wasn't true that she didn't feel anything for him at all anymore.

This fact was like a call to arms for Austin, who was now like a soldier in a battlefield full of morale, no

matter how many bullets were in front of him, he would keep charging forward.

The two had different thoughts and neither spoke again.

Although Suny was hungry, her appetite was not good, and she could not eat after only half of a bowl of

congee. She had a fever in the middle of the night last night, and her whole body got hard, confused,

always half asleep and half awake, and she didn't sleep well all night. Now that she had calmed her

stomach, she just wanted to go back to her room to catch up on her sleep.

As for Austin -

If he liked to stay on, she would settle the score with him when she was well!

Suny glanced at Austin, put down the spoon in her hand and went straight upstairs.

Austin watched her back, his eyebrows twitching slightly, and did not open his mouth to displease her

further.

It was still raining outside, only much less than last night, and it looked like it would stop in another hour

or two.

Austin hung up the phone and turned around to go back to the living room.

This villa was filled with the aura of Suny everywhere inside, and was completely different from his

house.

The rosebushes in the garden on the ground floor were in bloom, and a few French sycamores were

also in full leaf. He stood on the balcony on the second floor, as if he could imagine Suny fixing the

flowers and plants with a pair of shears in her spare time.

It was so nice, it was a pity he'd never seen it.

Suny fell asleep soon after returning to her room. The cold medicine had a sleeping aid, but she still

didn't sleep very well.

She had many fragmented dreams, all of them related to Austin.

She dreamed again of the year she turned fifteen, but inside the dream Austin did not save her, but

stood at a distance and watched indifferently as she was dragged along.

She struggled desperately for help, calling out to him, but he was still unmoved.

"Austin, please help me! Help me!"

The scene suddenly shifted to her following Grace to the banquet with a heart full of joy. The woman

had obviously splashed red wine on her on purpose, but Grace lightly said it was okay and turned to

her and told her that she was Mrs. Johnson, so she had to swallow her heart full of discontent.

But as soon as she looked up, she saw Austin talking to Jennifer in the distance. She raised her leg

and walked over to him, and before she even had a chance to call out to him, he had already given her

a disgusted look and left.

In those three years, she didn't see Austin very often, but mostly she went to him on her own. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Every time it was his cold face and mockery, the dislike in his eyes was like a needle in her heart,

faintly painful when he couldn't touch it, and painful when he did.

"Austin, why are you doing this to me?"

Suny on the bed murmured softly, and if her eyes were not tightly closed, Austin would have thought

she was awake.

Tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, and Austin only felt as if something had tugged at his heart,

and it hurt.

He really just wanted to come in and see if her temperature had dropped, but he didn't expect to hear

her talking in her sleep.

She was begging him to save her at first, and then asked him why he was doing this to her.

He didn't know exactly what she was dreaming about, but it wasn't always a good dream.

What Austin was more afraid of was that it was not a dream, it was a fact that had happened during the

three years he had been an asshole.
