Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 473 Although she wasn't as thorough as Hull in undressing her, she hadn't stripped him entirely. At least she left his boxers on.

Susanna awkwardly glanced at him and said, "The fever wouldn't come down, so I had to..."

Hull tightened his grip on her wrist. His eyes, bloodshot from the fever, stared at her with a wild, almost primal intensity.

Susanna swallowed hard. She looked down and murmured, "I tried calling your people but couldn't reach anyone."

If she had managed to get through, things wouldn't have come to this.

He wouldn't think she was trying to take advantage of him, would he? She wasn't that sort of person.

Hull slowly released her. Probably overwhelmed by his fever, he soon fell back asleep on the bed.
