Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 2088

Beck glanced down at his sleeve, gripped tightly in her hand, and then into the depth of her eyes.

There was an unfathomable darkness there, as if not a single spark of light existed.

He furrowed his brow slightly, "I'm not leaving, I'm just going to get you some water."

"I don't want water, I'm not thirsty."

But her lips were so cracked that traces of blood were visible.

After a moment's thought, Beck gently ruffled her hair.

Stella was still shivering slightly, unwilling to let go of him.

Soon, a maid arrived at the door, alerted by Stella's loud calls that had awakened others in the house.

Sitting by the bed, Beck instructed the maid.

"Bring a glass of warm water and some fever reducer, please."

Stella's fever had worsened, perhaps just as the doctor said, she had been too tense.

The maid quickly brought the water and handed the pill to Beck.

He gently tilted Stella's chin and fed her the medication.

Stella opened her mouth but did not swallow.

Beck hesitated for only a second before he pushed the pill deeper into her throat with his finger.

Reluctantly, Stella swallowed the pill.

Beck then brought the glass to her lips, gently encouraging her to drink.

After coughing twice, her eyes still looked lost.

Once she had drunk half the glass, Beck placed it on the nightstand beside the bed.

"Try to get some sleep."

"Beck, don't go."
