Chapter 438
They stared at each other for a while, and Silvia eventually said, “Why don’t you find a temporary caregiver?”
Curtis looked sympathetically at the unconscious Neil. Even though he had a high fever, Silvia still refused to stay and care for him. It seemed like he had genuinely upset her this time.
“Miss Pond, Mr. Remus is a germaphobe. He doesn’t like strangers touching him.”
Silvia frowned. “We’ve broken up. I’m just a stranger to him as well.”
“But that’s not how Mr. Remus sees it. He might reject everyone else, but certainly not you! I’m in a hurry, so I’ll leave him in your care!”
With that, Curtis quickly left. He was worried that Silvia might say no again.
Silvia watched him run away in bewilderment. Why did she feel like she had been tricked?
She checked Neil’s temperature, and it was 39.3°C.
She went to the living room and brought him a glass of water to take with the medicine. After that, she placed a cooling patch on his forehead. Then, she pulled up a chair and sat by the bed so that it would be easy for her to check his temperature every two hours.
Noticing that the cooling patch was not positioned correctly, she stood up to fix it.
As soon as she touched his forehead, he opened his eyes.
Silvia was taken aback for a moment. Before she could do anything, Neil grabbed her wrist and rolled over. He ended up pinning her beneath him as a result.

After some murmuring, he kissed her.
Due to the fever, his lips were hot. The warmth from his lips seemed to reach into Silvia’s heart, and her once–calm heart started to beat rapidly again.
“Um… let… me… go…
She tried to push Neil away, but he was too strong. She could not make him budge.
Feeling frustrated, she thought about giving him a good smack but hesitated because he was sick. She did not want his condition to worsen.
“Forget it. I’ll just bear with it.” She thought.
Not long after, Neil released her lips.
Silvia breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to push him away, but she suddenly froze.
Neil was kissing her neck, and his lips seemed to be heading downward!
Silvia could not bear it anymore and pushed him away. She quickly stood up by the bed and glared at him.
If his face had not turned red due to the fever, she would have suspected that he was pretending to be sick to take advantage of her.
It looked like the fever was affecting his ability to think clearly.
After she pushed him away, he sat up for a moment and looked at her with a face full of sadness.
“Silvia, do you… really not want me anymore?”
She had never seen him like this before. Neil’s usual cold and dominant demeanor was gone. His eyes had a hint of vulnerability, and he appeared somewhat pitiful.
She frowned and wanted to say yes. However, she could not bring herself to do it after she saw his sorry state.
Well, what was the point of arguing with a sick person? He was probably not thinking straight because of the fever. Otherwise, how could he talk to her that way?
You’re sick. Lie down and rest.”
However, Neil ignored what she said and kept looking at her with a pitiful expression. He wanted an answer from her.
“Do you really not want me anymore?”
Silvia took a deep breath and said, “No. Now lie down and rest.”
“I want to sleep with you.”
After that, he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into bed by force. He insisted that Silvia lie down with him and did not care if she agreed to it or not.
She frowned and responded angrily, “I don’t want to sleep. I need to check if you still have a fever later. Let go of me.”
“No. If I let go, you’ll run away.”
“I won’t run.”
“Stop talking and sleep!”
He gripped her waist tightly and gave her no room to escape.
After struggling for a while without success, Silvia eventually gave up and closed her eyes to
rest.
She thought that she would have a hard time falling asleep, but to her surprise, she fell asleep shortly after.
