Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 691

When Susanna was sick and delirious, her sense of self-preservation kicked into overdrive.

She was stubborn as a mule-no amount of coaxing would get her to budge.

Hull, who had never babied anyone in his life, tried everything. He coaxed, pleaded, cajoled for over ten minutes, but Susanna wouldn't let go of her nightshirt for anything.

Hull's patience, which had never really been tested before, hit its absolute limit.

With one hand gripping her waist and the other tugging at her pajamas, there was a loud RRRRIP as the fabric tore clean in half.

The maids in the hallway heard the commotion and retreated even further, absolutely terrified of going inside.

Hull, not wasting any more time, got her changed in record time. Naturally, Susanna squirmed in protest, mumbling and grumbling the whole way.

But honestly, with her fever weighing her eyelids down, she barely seemed aware of what was happening.

He was feeding her medicine, changing her clothes, running through every trick in the book-commands, gentle words, you name it.

When he found out that Yvonne had taken some people to confront Aira, he returned to the mansion looking like he'd seen a ghost.

Ashley and Lott were glued to his side, way too scared to leave. They were hoping that if Yvonne came after them, Xander would take the brunt of it, and maybe they'd get off a little easier.

But honestly...
