Chapter 284
Mila 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, Mila 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, Mila would touch him on his forehead and wipe the sweat off of him. Half an hour later, his
clothes were soaked to the skin, and his temperature was beginning to return to normal.
Mila 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, Mila climbed onto the bed. She pulled back Nathan’s blanket 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,†Mila murmured to calm her nerves.
Nathan’s strong, sturdy chest was laid bare. His skin was healthy and flawlessly muscled and toned.
Every inch of his muscle was incredibly seductive.
Mila 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 Mila 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?†Mila
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 Mila accidentally 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, Mila 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?â€
Mila 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 place to hide.
