Chapter 193

Chapter 193:

Bryan remained still, the veins in his hands standing out as he tried to suppress his desire. Eileen’s gestures ignited a passion in him that was nearly overwhelming. She had yet to make her next move.

“Let’s head inside,” Bryan murmured, his voice rough as he intercepted her hands that roamed aimlessly over his chest. Despite her attempts, Eileen hadn’t managed to undo a single button on his shirt.

Bryan got out of the car and adjusted his clothes, which barely masked his arousal. Luckily, they were alone. He walked over to the passenger side, lifted Eileen effortlessly, and carried her quickly into the apartment.

The apartment looked almost the same as when Eileen had left, though minor details hinted that it hadn’t been empty. Bryan set Eileen down on the cabinet in the foyer, her legs encircling his waist.

Caught up in the nostalgia of the setting, Eileen’s attention briefly drifted.

“Let go,” Bryan instructed, gently tapping her legs that clung to him. Her legs always stirred his deepest desires yet often restrained him at crucial moments.

Eileen frowned; she withdrew her legs and delivered a slight kick to his groin, putting some space between them.

Bryan grimaced and leaned against the opposite wall, still struggling with his shirt buttons.

Eileen hopped off the cabinet. “I need to go to the bathroom,” she announced.

Bryan paused for a moment, noticing the light sweat on her forehead. “Are you alright?” he asked.

Eileen made her way to the bathroom. “Last night, Phoebe and I grabbed some street food and…”

It was probably the mix of seafood, cold beer, and the morning’s cool air that had triggered her discomfort. She had initially dismissed it as a trivial upset stomach, yet she found herself confined to the bathroom for most of the morning.

It wasn’t until her stomach finally settled that Eileen could leave the bathroom, her legs trembling from weakness. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she worried she might have an unpleasant odor. However, she hadn’t gotten the chance to mention it before Bryan quickly carried her off to the hospital.

Bryan’s prompt actions allowed no room for her to protest.

“She’s suffering from acute gastroenteritis,” the doctor explained. “Stay hydrated, and it should be fine. Avoid uncooked and spicy food, and make sure to take these medications for a few days.”

With that, the doctor handed Bryan a prescription.

Bryan found a spot for Eileen in the waiting area of the hospital lobby. “Stay put here. The bathroom is just on your left, and you’ve got tissues in your coat pocket. I’ll be right back with your medication.”

He took care of everything with a deep frown and worried eyes.

Still feeling a bit weak, Eileen let him take the lead.
