Chapter 343 - 343: She Took Care of Him (2/2)

Her concerned eyes fell on Erick.

”Sh!t… what should I do now? Wake him up and feed him this medicine? Am I Crazy? I can't do that. But if he does not take his medicine, his fever will not go down.”

Elle was put in a dilemma once again. She heaved a frustrated sigh before she sat down on his bed while putting the glass of water on the bedside table.

She bit her lower lip, still undecided of what she should do. Then suddenly she remembered the moment when Erick had tricked her in feeding her the medicine she refused to take.

Elle's lips turned up into a bright smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

”That's right. I could also do that. And I can kiss him too without his knowledge.” Elle mumbled to herself.

She couldn't understand herself, just a moment ago she was shedding tears and now, she was smiling like a fool having this kind of thought.

”Elle, I think you are truly insane,” she scolded herself.

Without wasting any more time, Elle removed the handkerchief covering her face and took the medicine into her mouth. She leaned closer to Erick, gently holding his face. Then Elle lowered her head to claim his lips.

She gently brushed his lips with hers, while her thumbs were caressing his face as if she was urging him to open up his mouth in order for her to enter.

Erick didn't give her a hard time. As if his body had recognized her lips even in his half-unconscious state, his own lips moved and accepted hers. He was responding to her kiss.

The kiss deepened and Erick m.o.a.ned, Elle finally found the entrance, she immediately transferred the medicine into his mouth, she pushed it using her tongue.

After that Elle broke the kiss, Erick groaned in protest when he felt the absence of her warm lips. Elle slightly giggled seeing Erick's reaction. Though his eyes were closed his brows were drawn together in a frown.

Elle reached the glass of water on the bedside table and took a sip. She went back to kiss him, transferring the water into his mouth. She did it thrice to make sure that Erick completely swallowed up the medicine.

After she succeeded in feeding him the medicine, Elle planted a soft kiss on his forehead. His temperature was still high.

”Thank you for teaching me that strategy. It's quite handy you know.” Elle mumbled, caressing Erick's pale cheek.

The next thing she did was to find a towel and soak it with the cold water. After that, she lay the towel over his hot forehead. She got an extra towel and soaked it again in the cold water. She started wiping his body. However, Erick was still shaking, shivering from the chill.

Elle sighed helplessly. ”Alright! I will stay for a while. If his fever stays down then I'll leave.”

She lay down beside him and hugged Erick tightly, using her own body to give him warmth and lessen the chill. She covered their bodies with the blanket.

She didn't sleep. She watched over Erick for the whole night, waiting for his fever to go down. She took care of him like a wife taking care of her sick husband.
