GoodReadScarlett had caught a cold. Her brain felt numb.
Seeing Raymond's hand withdraw, she frowned and asked, annoyed, "Raymond, don't you understand what I'm saying?" "I do. Don't worry. | won't do anything to you." He wasn't always a good-tempered man. Hearing Scarlett's words, he remained so peaceful. It was unbelievable! Scarlett laughed out, yet annoyed, "Should | thank you for wakingup in the middle of the night?" Raymond knew it was his bad. He looked at her, "Go to sleep. I'm hungry. | want to make myself a sandwich." "There's a restaurant three miles away from here." "You know | have concerns about the cleanness of the food in the restaurant." Raymond paused, "Do you mind if | make a sandwich i n your kitchen?" "I do." Scarlett showed no courtesy.
Raymond was silent for a moment, and then he continued, "I only had swater and a pack of cigarettes all afternoon. | haven't eaten anything. Now | have a terrible stomachache. If | drive out now, you'll probably seeon the news tomorrow in a car accident." And he said with certainty, "You don't want to seei n a car accident." Scarlett honestly thought Raymond had no sense of shame. "I'm sorry, but | would love to see it." Raymond frowned, "Scarlett, don't say the opposite, or I'll think you lovewhen you say you hate me." "..." Scarlett was speechless. Shameless people are invincible.

Scarlett really felt terrible right now. She didn't want t o argue with Raymond. It was no fun. "If you want to use my kitchen, be my guest! But if you wakeup again, you'll regret it, Raymond." "I'm sorry, | won't wake you up again." Raymond looked at her, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and as if she was angry being woke up by Raymond. Her lips compressed, she went upstairs.
She felt dizzy. She trudged up the stairs. She really didn't have the strength to argue with Raymond.
When she got back to her room, Scarlett pulled the blanket over herself and drifted asleep.
She thought it was just a cold, and that she would be alright after a good sleep.
However, it was not as she expected. As she drifted off to sleep, she felt more terrible, and her body temperature gradually rose.
Scarlett realized she might have a fever, but she couldn't open her eyes. She felt so tired and her eyelids were so heavy. She really felt awful.
In her unconsciousness, Scarlett seemed to hear the door to her room being pushed open. A few seconds later, she felt like she was being carried up by someone.

Scarlett frowned. She lifted her hand to push him away, but she had no strength.
"Get out!" Who let him in? Scarlett's face turned red from the fever. As soon as he touched Scarlett, Raymond knew she had a fever.
After a whole night, it was still raining outside.
Raymond put the pill in his palm and fed it to Scarlett's mouth.
Scarlett did not swallow the pill. A bitter taste spread across her tongue. She spat out the pill. "It's so bitter! | don't want to take it!" "It will help you reduce the fever." Scarlett frowned, "No!" She already felt awful. Why did he make her take such a bitter pill? Raymond never knew Scarlett hated taking medicine s o much. She was like a child who refused to have his meal. No matter how he tried to persuade her, she just wouldn't take it.
Scarlett's consciousness was chaotic. The fever was killing her. When the cold lips pressed against hers, she was dumbfounded. Somehow, she wanted more.
