Chapter 527 - Anthony and Little Seven 8 - Confession (1/2)
This was after all not their home and Anthony did not know where the first-aid box was kept. Therefore, he had no choice but to go upstairs and disturb Mr. Kurt and Mrs. Kurt. The elderly were light-sleepers and woke up easily and pa.s.sed him the first-aid box and told him where the medicine for fever was.
Anthony was grateful towards the elderly and kept apologizing. Mrs. Kurt told him not to feel bad and she wanted to go down and take a look at Eleven. But, Anthony told her not to worry and rest more as he would take care of her.
Mrs. Kurt nodded and he went down in a hurry and gave Eleven the medicine.
“Pour a cup of water for me.” Eleven said solemnly and Anthony had a sudden realization before he went out in a a hurry again to get a cup of water for her from the kitchen. Eleven looked at his frantic back view and smiled while shaking her head.
It was just a small illness and there was nothing much to worry, but he was overreacting, as if she had some incurable disease. He did not have to exaggerate so much, but it felt good to be taken care of by someone.
Anthony poured the water and went back to the room quickly and kept helping her to cool down the water by blowing. Eleven sat up and her body felt sore, even a small movement felt tiring for her. She took the medicine and drank some water and wanted to lie down and rest. But, the gaze beside her was too bright and she could not ignore it.
Eleven said. “Anthony, it’s late. I’m fine after taking the medicine. You can go back and rest.”
“I will leave once you fall asleep.” Anthony looked at her sick face and pitied her. He wished that he was the one that was sick so that she would not have to suffer. It was lucky that he woke up, if not, she would have to endure till the next day.
Anthony suddenly got angry because of how she did not tell them that she was sick. She felt uncomfortable when they were watching television and could not concentrate well. Her steps were heavy when she went back to her room, but he did not expect that her illness would be so serious.
“I’m fine.” Eleven smiled. She was tired and wanted to rest, therefore she did not want to quarel with him. There were only a man and woman in the room and they were not very close with each other yet, how could she let him be in her room.
Especially when she was sick.
“Who says you’re fine.” Anthony’s voice sounded like he was angry. He touched her forehead with his hand and her temperature was still scarily high. He immediately helped Eleven to lie down and covered her with the blanket. “You can sleep and I will stay here with you. Just call me if anything happens.”
“Anthony, you…” Eleven helplessly looked at man that was holding tightly to the blanket and tried to see if he was joking, but he was not.
She could not help but felt a little angry, and a little complicated…
Why was he so nice to her? They did not know each other last time and he seemed to be too nice to her, to the point where it did not seemed like his style. Did he forget what he said? He got separated from his lover and he did not even know if she was still alive, yet he was so nice to her?
Eleven’s brain was confused and she was sick, so she was too tired to think too much and wanted to sleep. But, she could not sleep as he was beside her. “Anthony, I feel uneasy with you around. You can just go back and rest, I’m really fine now.”
“Why are you uneasy, are you afraid that I might do something to you?” Anthony’s voice sounded deep and his blue eyes looked obscure under the dim lights. He clenched his fists unknowingly.
Eleven darkened her face and stared at him. Anthony fl.u.s.tered and bent down and said softly. “Sorry, Little Seven, I should not be too loud with you. I’m worried as you are sick and I just want to take care of you. I can react quickly if anything happens since I’m here. If you don’t like it, I can leave once you fall asleep, alright?”
“You’re really stubborn.” Eleven looked at the face beside her and turned her head to one side. She did not dare to look into his eyes as she did not dare to see if the focus and seriousness in his eyes were real.
Anthony smiled and used his hands to smoothen the messy hair beside her ear. He said lightly, “Little Seven is obedient.”
Eleven’s heart skip a beat and her body seemed to be injected with electricity, making her feel numb. Her body could not control the strong current and could only endure it.
Little Seven is obedient…
The light in the room was dim and there was only a man and woman in the room. One was lying down while the other was sitting beside the bed and looking at the other. He gently said that Little Seven was obedient and the atmosphere instantly became ambiguous.
When he delicate voice became lowered, it sounded very pleasant. It was as if the couple were whispering to each other. It sounded intimate and made aroused one’s heart.
Eleven had experienced a lot of things, yet she could not defend herself from his unintentional attacks.
Anthony…
She looked at the falling snow outside and stopped looking so lost. She did not want to argue with Anthony as he was persistent in the things he wanted to do. She was the only one that knew that her heart beat had become faster and she had experienced this feeling a long, long time ago…
She closed her eyes, but her eyelashes kept s.h.i.+vering and she could not fall asleep. He was just sitting by the bed and looking at her intently and sincerely. She should not suspect his sincerity…
She really did not suspect. She was sick and his concerned look did not seemed fake. The sincerity in his eyes did not seemed fake either.
Was he…
Eleven’s heart beat faster the moment she thought of a possibility and she could not help but cough to cover up the sound of her heart beat. The room was too quiet and she was afraid that he would know.
Anthony knew that she had not fallen asleep. He saw that she was coughing and used his hand to touch her forehead and her fever had not subsided. Eleven did not dare to move and could hear clearly that he sighed.
She wanted to sigh more than him. He jsut sat beside her as if he was her lover and looked at her intently. The room was not big and she could feel the coercion that a man had towards a woman. How could she sleep like this?
Therefore, she decided to open her eyes and looked at him. Anthony looked peaceful and smiled warmly when he saw that she opened her eyes.
“Aren’t you tired?” Eleven asked him.
Anthony shook his head.
“Anthony, you…” Eleven gritted her teeth and paused in a hesitant manner. She wanted to ask him something, but did not ask.
Anthony stroked her hair gently and smiled. “Just ask whatever you want to ask.”
“Why are you… so good to me?” Eleven finally asked. She did not want to ask at first, but she could not endure flirting with a man. It was as if she was enjoying the love and sympathy that she did not deserve.
This was a bad feeling as she did not want something that did not belong to her.
Anthony looked at her affectionately. She did not understand him as this man was good at hiding. He seemed to have different sides to him and she did not really understand him and could only be looked at by him.
She felt fl.u.s.tered.
Anthony suddenly grabbed her cold hands. His hands were warm and he put his face on their hands and said softly. “Little Seven, are you a fool or am I a fool, can’t you feel that I’m courting you?”
His words were like thunder striking on her head, making her lose her soul. He was courting her? How was it possible, he must be joking. But, his actions…
Wait, didn’t he have a lover?
Eleven was suddenly very angry and her shocked gaze became angry. “Let me off!”
Her low and hoa.r.s.e voice did not cover her dominance. Anthony looked at her eyes deeply, his expression remained calm, but he did not cover the loving look in his eyes.
“Why are you angry?”
