Remington's eyes were tightly shut. Natalie monitored him intently and thought that he was asleep. However, he was not.

To be honest, Remington didn't feel sleepy at all. He just went to bed because Natalie wanted him to.

He did not want her to think that he would do something inappropriate to her in his apartment. He just wanted her to feel safe.

Pretending to be asleep was the best and only way he thought of.

Meanwhile, Natalie did not stop applying the wet compress on Remington's forehead.

The coolness on his forehead made him feel much better, and also stopped him from burning up so much.

To his surprise, Remington started feeling a little sleepy.

His eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

This time, Natalie grabbed a brand new towel for the wet compress.

Remington's temperature had finally dropped a little since just now.

She heaved a sigh of relief.

If the fever subsided after a while, then she could leave.

After all, it wasn't appropriate for a man and woman to be alone in a room together.

Suddenly, her stomach growled. It was only then that she remembered she hadn't had dinner yet.

Remington too.

When the two of them came back together, she had been so anxious that she did not even care about dinner.

Now that Remington had fallen asleep, she didn't want to wake him up.

She decided to order some takeout food. As she fumbled for her phone in her handbag, she realized that it was missing.

She tried searching for it for a long time, but she could not find it.

If that was the case, where did her phone go?

Could it be in Remington's car?

Wait a minute...?

Natalie suddenly froze on the spot as she recalled something important.
