Chapter 522:

“Save me… save me…” RK frowned, noticing Stella’s hand in the water. He reached in and grasped her hand.

Stella clutched RK’s hand as if she were dreaming, feeling as if she had found a life-saving lifeline.

With one of RK’s hands held by Stella, he could only lift her with one arm.

“Cold… cold…” Stella trembled, as if she had fallen into a sea of ice.

RK held Stella in his arms, and she could feel the warmth radiating from his body. Like an octopus, she wrapped her arms around him.

RK emerged from the bathroom with Stella in his arms, laying her gently on the bed and changing the blanket for her. He wanted to grab a bath towel to dry her hair, but Stella held onto his hand tightly, preventing him from pulling it away.

With no other option, RK took off his wet clothes and climbed into bed beside her. As Stella nestled closer, she felt the warmth from RK’s body envelop her.

RK reached out to touch Stella’s forehead, only to find it cold and not hot at all. He remembered that her forehead had been burning after she had been drenched in the rain. This time, after soaking in the sea for so long, it was cool to the touch.

RK sighed with relief and moved his hand away from her forehead, hugging her back gently.

On the other side, Sophia had fainted from exhaustion. She woke up shortly after RK left, still soaked from the sea, and discovered she had a high fever.

Sophia recalled how RK had abandoned Stella for her. However, when she regained consciousness, she was disappointed not to see him.

She glanced at the waiter standing nearby and called for RK, claiming she had a high fever.

Sophia touched her forehead, confirming it was indeed quite hot.

“Knock… knock…” RK heard a knock at the door. He gently pushed Stella away, got up, and opened the door while wearing a bathrobe.

“Mr. Kingston, Miss Richard has a sudden fever.” The waiter was outside. Before RK left, he had instructed that if Sophia felt unwell, she should call for him immediately.
