Chapter 155

In the middle of the night, Stella had a fever. Brian called the doctor over,

The doctor said Stella couldn’t take antipyretics again within a few hours and could only rely on physical

cooling for now.

Stella kept mumbling, her cheeks red. Brian took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves, then brought over

a basin of water to cool her down.

“Dad…” Stella murmured, her eyelashes fluttering. Brian leaned closer, only to hear her murmur in a daze,”

Dad, don’t worry. I’ll get you out soon…”

He looked thoughtful as he listened to her words; his eyes darkened.

“It’s cold…” Stella suddenly huddled up, shivering. Her body seemed like it was soaking in ice water, and

she wanted to curl into a ball.

To warm her up, Brian held her in his arms and then got under the blanket.

Feeling his warmth, Stella snuggled closer to him and pressed her face against his chest. Trembling, she

muttered, “I’m so cold.. so cold…”

“It’s okay. I’m here,” Brian comforted her, gently stroking her long hair.

Stella hugged him tightly, wrapping her arms around his neck for more warmth. Brian could only take off his shirt so that she could come into closer contact with his body.

Eventually, Stella clung to him with all her limbs like a koala. Brian didn’t shake her off, but his breathing.

grew heavier.

He was a man, after all. He felt somewhat uncomfortable as she wriggled in his embrace

Dawn broke, and Stella’s temperature gradually dropped. In a daze, she touched a few solid abdominal muscles. She opened her eyes, only to replace herself in Brian’s arms.

She paused, startled. What was going on? Why was she in Brian’s arms?

“You’re awake?” Waking up in a trance, Brian reached out to touch Stella’s forehead. Her forehead no longer felt hot, so he breathed a sigh of relief. “Your fever has gone down.”

Stella was stunned. “Did I have a fever last night?”

“Yes, you’ve been having a fever with chills all night. That was why I got in bed to hold you.”

The two of them squeezed into a small bed, their noses almost touching. Looking at Stella’s red face,

Brian suddenly kissed her.

Stella was caught off guard before she could understand the situation. Her heart skipped a beat, and she

pushed Brian away. “Why are you kissing me?”

“You kept complaining about being cold and rubbing against me last night.” Brian’s voice was hoarse, and

he kissed her again. “You’ve tormented me all night. I feel awful now.”

Dumbfounded, Stella nervously denied, “I didn’t do that!”

“Did you not?” Brian played the recording on his phone

“It’s cold…” Stella’s groan came from the audio, followed by Brian’s rapid breathing. “What are you doing.

Stella?”

“I’m so cold, Bri… so cold…” Stella rubbed against him desperately.

Brian clenched his teeth. “Stop rubbing against me!”

Turning a deaf ear, Stella continued doing it. “It’s warm..”

Brian’s breathing in the audio became heavier.

You a

You actually recorded it?” Stella was dumbfounded.

“This is a sleep record. The phone automatically recorded it,” Brian snorted. Stella blushed. She didn’t

expect herself to act indecently during the fever last night.

“Do you now know how indecent you’ve been? Brian cast her a glance.

Stella stuttered, “That was because… I was in a trance due to lever

“Could you take advantage of me just because you were in a trance due to fever?”

Stella could not answer. The next moment, Brian kissed Stella again, biting her lips lightly. “You have to

make it up to me.”

Stella was a little short of breath from being kissed. She asked in a daze, “How do I do that?”

“Come, give me a hug.”

Stella breathed unsteadily, her voice shaky. “My fever isn’t gone yet.

“Just a hug.”

Brian emerged from the bathroom in the same outfit as last night after a shower when the doctors came over for ward rounds. Upon seeing Joseph among the group of people, Stella hid under the blanket with a

blush.

Joseph raised his eyebrows at the freshly showered Brian, grinning and teasing him. “Didn’t you go home. last night? Why are you here?”

She’s sick. I’m looking after her.” Brian wasn’t shy at all. Slowly straightening his sleeves, he walked up to

Joseph. “How is she now?”

Joseph regained his serious attitude when it came to work. “She’s just caught a cold. It’s fine now that her fever is gone. Just some medicine will do.”

“Okay,” Brian responded calmly. Stella remained in bed and was too embarrassed to speak.

After Joseph went out to prescribe medicine, Brian also prepared to leave. He caressed Stella’s head,

saying. “You rest well here. I’m going to see my mom.”

Not knowing how to respond, Stella hummed. Brian left with Mike, leaving a female assistant to look after Stella. He also left behind a sumptuous breakfast.

Stella was somewhat moved. Brian remembered all her preferences and cared for her attentively. She

would not believe he had no feelings for her.

After Stella’s breakfast, the legal counsel of Nas Group came over to deliver a lawyer’s letter. Stella took at look. As she expected, Nas Group required her to bear the loss of 50 thousand dollars in publicity fees.

The court date was next week. In other words, there was a week to resolve the matter.

Seeing Nas Group’s legal counsel, the female assistant sneaked into the corridor to call Mike. Upon receiving the news, Mike walked over to inform Brian, The legal counsel of Nas Group went to Mrs. Foley.

Mr. Foley.”

Brian and Joseph stood outside the ICU, where Sharon was lying asleep with medical tubes all over her

body.

Joseph asked Mike, “Why did Nas Group’s legal counsel look for Stella?”

Mike told him about the recent incident. Joseph analyzed, “That’s strange. Can’t Yoel pay the hundreds of thousands for Stella? Doesn’t he like her?”
