M choked up as she whispered, “Nathan, please be okay. Please be fine.” She bit her lip. Tears were


    trickling down to the corners of her mouth and her chin. She could feel the saltiness of it all.


    Having calmed herself, M brushed her tears away with both hands. She quickly got out of bed and


    went to the bathroom, where she grabbed a damp towel to wipe off the sweat from Nathan’s body.


    Whether it was due to the medication or the fever, Nathan was starting to sweat a lot. Every few


    minutes, M would touch him on his forehead and wipe the sweat off of him. Half an hourter, his


    clothes were soaked to the skin, and his temperature was beginning to return to normal.


    M paced around the room with her phone. Now and then she checked Cole’s number and looked at


    the time on the wall. It was 5:00


    a.m.


    Though it was still dark outside, the housekeeper at Hoffis Manor had probably already started working.


    Cole would be easily spotted if he came around now.


    After much thought, M climbed onto the bed. She pulled back Nathan’s nket and unbuttoned his


    shirt nervously.


    “I’m sorry, Nate. Your clothes are soaking wet. I’ll have to take them off, or you’re going to catch a cold


    again. I hope you don’t mind. I don’t mean anything else,” M murmured to calm her nerves.

    Nathan’s strong, sturdy chest wasid bare. His skin was healthy and wlessly muscled and toned.


    Every inch of his muscle was incredibly seductive.


    M found herself instinctively drawn to his physique, one that any


    woman would want to possess.


    She’d seen Nathan’s chest a few times, but she couldn’t help being shy. She struggled to remove


    Nathan’s shirt and was eventually left panting and sweating..


    Slowly, her gaze moved down to Nathan’s pants. Her heart beat wildly, and her cheeks and ears grew


    inexplicably hot. Nathan’s pants were wet as well, and M hesitated as to whether she should help.


    him take them off.


    “What on earth am I thinking? He’s a patient, and I’m only looking


    after him. It’s not as if we’ll sleep together. Why do I have such wild thoughts in my head?” M


    comforted herself as she rubbed her


    flushed face.


    Her face felt warmer than Nathan’s body temperature. Gathering her courage, she unbuckled his pants.


    But no matter how she pulled, Nathan’s hips remained pressed against one side of his pants.


    It was an awkward and embarrassing moment when M identally touched his groin while


    struggling. She lost the nerve to even open her eyes. The huge bulge below his waist made her


    extremely embarrassed.


    After a deep breath, M straddled him on his thigh. She grab his waistband and prepared to try again.


    Suddenly, a hoarse, weak voice broke in. “What are you doing?”


    M froze, shocked. She looked sheepishly at Nathan, who had only. just woken up. Her cheeks were


    on fire with embarrassment. All she wanted was to find a ce to hide.
