Nola, forgetting to refuse Elvis, let him carry her into her room. When seeing him do everything cautiously with many worries in his cold eyes, Nola was shocked and grief instantly rose in her mind.

She had told him not to treat her so well anymore. Why didn’t he remember it?

“Lie on the bed!” Elvis said. And then, he took out his phone and made a phone call immediately. Nola just ard he asked somebody to come here right now but didn’t know who it was.

It was very quiet in the room. He then stood up and brought the thermometer to take her temperature. Nola came to her senses, taking the thermometer to do it by herself.

She thought it was strange to be like this. He was not keeping himself apart from her now.

“102.2 degrees!” Elvis looked terrible when looking at the thermometer. He didn’t take good care of her, so she was ill now. He sighed and then went to the bathroom with a cold towel in his hand when coming back.

“I can do it.”

Elvis felt angrier when looking at her awkward expression. She was still getting angry with him since she was ill now.

“Nola, lie there. Isn’t 102.2 degrees serious, is it? What if you become a fool?”

Nola lied. The grief that she had endured these days suddenly rushed to her mind like a tide when hearing him shout at her. Perhaps because she was ill, she was so fragile that she couldn’t help herself and her eyes were full of tears.

“It’s better to be a fool. A fool is happier than me. They don’t have so much annoyance after all. I didn’t ask you to take care of me, and you told me to keep apart from you. Why do you take care of me? Mr. Grayson, what do you want from me?”

Nola shouted at him with tears falling down.

She didn’t want to cry, but he was here to take care of her. She couldn’t control herself not to be tempted. He shouldn’t be so close to her since he had told her to keep herself apart from him.
