Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 84

Chapter 84 He has a Fever The warmth in his hands was shockingly hot, and it was obviously not at normal body temperature. “Gilbert…”

She looked over and noticed that Gilbert’s cheeks were unusually red. ‘Does he have a sever?’ At that thought, Kisa quickly pulled her hand back. ‘What should I do? He’s having a fever and it isn’t just any normal fever.’ “Don’t leave me. Don’t…” He held on tightly to her hands and kept mumbling the same words. She was not sure if he had mistaken hier for someone else. off the top of her head, she assumed he mistook her as Sara or the mother of his two kids. She had the urge to pull back her hands, but Gilbert’s grip was too tight. There was no use fighting it. Fortunately, she noticed his phone on the bedside table. She quickly took it and contacted Kelvin.

The first call went to voice message, so she tried calling again.

At that point, it was already past ten. She was not sure whether he was already asleep.

Then, her call went through. Kelvin sounded annoyed, “What is it now? If you would just listen to my advice, rest, and give up on that lady, you wouldn’t be bothering me every other day. I need sleep too. I have other things to do, you know.”

Kisa was unsure, but it sounded like Kelvin was complaining because she had interrupted his night with someone. She was stunned at the response, but waited for him to finish complaining before saying, “Gilbert has a high fever, could you come over?”

“It’s you? Kisa?” Kelvin was surprised.

He was not surprised that Gilbert fell ill, but at the fact that she was using his phone to call

him.

Kisa repeated, “Gilbert has a high fever, could you come over?”

Kelvin came back to his senses and realized the emergency at hand. Yet, he was not worried at all. He replied, “It’s just a fever. It must be because of his wound infection. Don’t worry. Just apply cold compression and redress his wound these few nights.” “You’re not coming?” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s too late. I’ll be there first thing in the morning.”

She wanted to explain more but suddenly, she heard the faint voice of a lady.

She had guessed right. She was indeed disturbing his night with someone. That would explain his reaction upon picking up the call.

After hanging up, Kisa finally managed to release herself from Gilbert’s grip. She went to the bathroom and filled a bucket of warm water.

She listed the blanket and removed Gilbert’s pajamas. Because of the fever, Gilbert’s skin was flushing. Even though Kisa had spent a night with Gilbert before, this was her first time being in such close proximity to his body.

He had a strong build, and his muscles were perfectly shaped. Setting aside her personal biases and objectively speaking based on looks, he was every lady’s dream partner. Brushing off those distracting thoughts in her mind, Kisa took a towel and wiped down his body.

After two rounds of this, she changed to a new bucket of water and continued wiping. Gilbert did seem a lot better. He did not seem to be in that much pain anymore, and his body temperature had lowered. Satisfied, she moved on to his wound. Just as she opened the dressing, she was startled. She knew that the stab had been deep, but she did not imagine it would be this bad. His wound was in bad condition, and it was slightly rotting. It did not seem like his wound was being treated by Kelvin. After getting back to her senses, she disinfected the wound and applied some ointment. Then, she re-

bandaged the wound with new gauze after the ointment had dried up. When she was done with the dressing, she stood up. At that moment, her eyes met with a pair of heavy dark eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat. Before she realized what was happening or had any time to react, Gilbert had dragged her whole body down. She was pinned underneath Gilbert’s body.
