Chapter 283 Are You Feeling Uncomfortable?
"What did you say?" Lilian widened her eyes, unable to believe it. "Then how am I supposed to leave?"
"I don't care. Go find the key for me right now, and then get me out of here."
If she didn't leave, she would die.
Rosalyn held her phone, her palms sweating profusely. She cried as she spoke, "I'm sorry, Lily. I can't get the key for this lock. The key is with the housekeeper. If I go to ask for it, everything will be exposed."
"What?" Lilian had a nervous breakdown.
Then, she broke out into curses, "Rosalyn, are you an idiot? I've never seen someone as stupid as you. I'm warning you. Find a solution right now."
"If I can't leave, don't think you'll have a good ending. Don't forget that it was you who personally brought the hangover soup to Shawn."
"And you put the packet of medicine there as well."
Now, no matter how foolish Rosalyn was, she knew that she had been used.
But at the moment, she and Lilian were in the same boat.
She had to get Lilian out, or she would be done for as well.
In the second bedroom, Norah had just finished bathing.
The room had the heater on, so the temperature was quite high and she only wore a white camisole.
She was just out of the bathroom. The water droplets on her face hadn't been wiped dry yet, and her skin was still rosy and tender.
Suddenly, a loud knocking sound came from the door.
"Who is it?" Norah walked over and asked through the opening.
"It's me."
Shawn?
Why did he come to her?
Today was his grandfather's hundredth-day memorial, and customs prohibited couples from sleeping together on the death anniversary in some places. That was why Norah had moved to the second bedroom by herself.
However, her mother-in-law had just told her tonight that their family didn't believe in these feudal superstitions. Since they were a couple, it was only natural for them to sleep together.
Moreover, her mother-in-law even said, "If you can conceive a child tonight, Grandpa would be very happy."
Since she had already moved over, Norah didn't want to go back to the master bedroom.
Besides, they were already divorced.
There was no need to sleep together.
Seeing that Norah didn't open the door, Shawn increased his strength and continued patting the door. "Norah, let me in."
"It's so late. Do you have something important?"
"I think I have a fever. I feel burning all over. Give me a check-up," Shawn said.
Upon hearing that he had a fever, Norah didn't dare to delay and immediately opened the door.
The door had just opened.
Suddenly, Shawn's tall figure leaned forward forcefully, and before Norah could react, he had already fallen directly onto her.
"Shawn, don't sleep. Wake up first."
With his height of over 5.4 feet tall and his strong muscles, he was not light at all.
It was already impressive that her petite body could support his weight, but if she had to carry him to the bed, it would be really difficult.
"Hey, wake up."
Norah called out again.
However, leaning against her, he did not respond at all.
She reached out and touched him, and was startled when she felt his forehead.
Why was it so hot?
At that moment, Shawn slightly opened his eyes.
But his eyes were bloodshot, almost crimson.
He opened his mouth and struggled to speak, "Norah, I'm burning up."
"Don't worry. We still need medicine at home. Let me help you to the bed first. Can you walk now? It's hard for me to move you, so put your left hand on my shoulder and hold onto me with your right hand. Walk with me, okay?"
"Okay." Shawn nodded.
With his cooperation, Norah gritted her teeth and quickly helped him onto the bed.
When Shawn lay down on the bed, Norah took a deep breath.
She immediately went to find fever-reducing medicine.
After finding the medicine, she brought a cup of warm water and approached Shawn.
"Get up and have the fever-reducing medicine quickly. You'll feel better once the fever subsides."
Shawn propped himself up and sat up unsteadily. When he saw Norah wearing a skimpy nightgown, especially when he saw her fair arms and sexy collarbone, he felt even hotter.
That heat in his body roared out wildly.
His mouth felt dry, and something deep inside him was tormenting him painfully.
Trying to suppress himself, he spoke in an extremely low voice, "Norah, I'm uncomfortable!"
Norah immediately handed him the water. "Then drink the medicine quickly. This medicine is very effective, and you won't feel uncomfortable after a while."
Shawn shook his head. At the same time, he reached out to gently touch her long, black hair like flowing ink. "Fool, I'm not running a fever."
"How is that possible? Your forehead is so hot."
"Not only my forehead but also my whole body is hot, especially when I see you. Norah, you know what? I can hardly control myself now."
At this moment, Shawn no longer hid anything.
He honestly and truthfully told Norah about his condition.
With his confession, his gaze became scorching hot, and his sexy Adam's apple moved up and down crazily.
Due to his restraint, his tanned face had already turned red.
Now, no matter how dull Norah was, she understood.
"How did this happen? Who did this to you?"
Worried, Norah's hand touched Shawn's arm.
Instantly, that cool sensation climbed inside him like an antidote, making him unable to resist the urge to hold onto it tightly and possess it crazily.
But he knew he couldn't.
He had already hurt her many times.
He didn't want to force her, didn't want to make her suffer, and didn't want to hurt her again.
"Leave this room to me. You go sleep in the master bedroom," Shawn said.
He admitted that he had come with the intention of hoping she could be his antidote.
But when he saw her, he only had one thought in his mind, which was not to force her.
"What about you?" Norah looked at his painful face, feeling so agonized in her heart. "Shawn, tell me. Are you in a lot of pain?"
"Norah..." Shawn looked at her with a smile. "I have to tell you the truth. I am indeed in a lot of pain, but don't worry. My body is fine, and I just need to endure it."
Endure?
How could such a thing be endured?
If simply enduring it could get him through this ordeal, then the person with malicious intent wouldn't have drugged him.
Since he was drugged, it meant that he wouldn't be able to get through it safely without someone being the antidote.
"Shawn, I..."
Seeing him in pain, Norah felt like her heart was being bitten by countless ants.
As she spoke, she choked up and lost the courage to continue.
However, her actions had already conveyed everything.
Bravely stepping forward, she reached out and gently embraced Shawn with her fair and smooth arms.
Instantly, a faint fragrance enveloped Shawn. Especially with her so close, the heat inside him became even more intense and restless.
"Norah..."
He called her name, sweat the size of beans falling from his forehead and cheeks, showing just how difficult it was for him to endure it.
