Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 78 Caring for the Sick

Alistair and Caroline turned off the lights and went to bed on time at ten o'clock.

Alistair didn't sleep soundly. Soon, he realized the reason for his restlessness.

In the darkness, he heard heavy breathing and couldn't help becoming more and more awake.

Alistair had spent five stressful years caring for a baby, who'd grown into a mischievous but healthy kid. By now, he knew that heavy, rapid breathing all too well-it gave him an instant stress reaction. Why? Because whenever the little troublemaker got sick, his already tough life turned into a total nightmare.

Alistair turned on the table lamp. The light of it was warm yellow and wouldn't be too dazzling.

Under the thin blanket, Caroline curled up into a ball, and h face took on an abnormal crimson color. Without even taking her temperature, Alistair could tell that she was indeed sick.

something was wrong with her before going to bed, but he didn't give her any medicine beforehand. If he had taken precautions in advance, Caroline wouldn't have had a fever.

Alistair got out of bed to look for the first-aid kit and took her temperature first. After seeing that her body temperature was 102.2 degrees Fahrenheit, he hurried to get the medicine.

The feverish and dazed Caroline barely opened a slit in her eyes and showed a triumphant smile as she looked at Alistair's back.

She hadn't been sick for a long time. During the last influenza outbreak, many people around her, including Eloise, were infected, but she was fine.

Caroline thought she had a strong immune system. She was even a bit worried that just taking a cold shower couldn't make her sick, so she literally stood under the icy spray longer than usual-on purpose-and finally managed to catch a bug. Honestly, she was kinda thrilled it worked.

One terrible thing about this trick was that it would disturb Alistair's sleep well in the middle of the night and make him take care of her. But she saw no other way. Without resorting to this trick, she couldn't confirm Alistair's sexual orientation or whether he was interested in her.

Alistair came back. He put down the water cup and the pills first
