Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 174

Chapter 174 A High Fever
Today he and Irene had a profound conversation for a long time. Originally, he thought that Irene would understand after hearing his explanation. But he didn’t expect her to be so stubborn and unwilling to let go.
After explaining to Irene, he did not go back to the hotel. Subconsciously, he walked to the hotel where Ainsley was staying.
He stayed at the door for a long time and figured out a lot of things.
He was Manuel, the big shot in Seattle.
How could he be compromised just because of one Irene?
Ever since he’d fallen asleep drunk in Ainsley’s room last time. She hadn’t dared to face
him much.
“Manuel, go back. We’ve broken up.” Ainsley said coldly.
It had been too many times. Her heart had been torn out long ago.
It was pouring outside and warm in the house. It was warm in the house. But she just
felt cold all over.
Manuel couldn’t stand Ainsley being like this. She was too cold as if she was a machine.
He took Ainsley in his arms. Ainsley struggled violently. But he held her tighter and
tighter.
“Let go of me!”
“No,” Manuel said unquestionably.
Ainsley was unable to breathe. The suffocating hug made her feel safe unexpectedly. She stopped struggling. The scent of cedar was on the tip of her nose. The warmth of his chest was unnaturally hot.
Her forehead pressed against Manuel’s chin. It was hot.
She pushed Manuel. “You let me go first.”
“What’s wrong?” Manuel’s voice was ***.
Ainsley lifted her hand to cover Manuel’s forehead. It was hot.

“You have a fever, Manuel,” she said as she went to the cabinet next to the couch and pulled out a medicine box. She handed Manuel the thermometer. “Take it.
Manuel obeyed and took the thermometer. He also felt dizzy and his eyelids were too
tired to lift.
When the time came, Ainsley took the thermometer and saw that it was thirty-nine degrees. A high fever!
She immediately wanted to get dressed. “You have a fever. Let’s go to the hospital.”
“No.” Manuel sat on the sofa and leaned back lazily.
Ainsley frowned. “How can you not go to the hospital when you have a high fever?”
“I’m fine.” He didn’t want to go anywhere. He just wanted to stay with Ainsley a little
longer.
“But you have a fever.”
Manuel pointed to the medicine box. “There are fever reducers.”
Ainsley hesitated and poured him a glass of water. “If the fever doesn’t reduce later, you need to go to the hospital.”
Manuel laughed at her persistence. “Are you concerned about me?”
“Even if a stranger has a fever, I also will suggest he go to the hospital.” She said
awkwardly.
Manuel forced a smile. “Got it.”
After taking the fever reducer, Manuel just felt sleepy. He gradually fell asleep on the
sofa.
Ainsley put the blanket over him and sat down to write her paper.
The scene was just like the last time Manuel was drunk. The only difference was that
this time Manuel had a fever.
She felt an inexplicable sense of reassurance when Manuel was sleeping next to her.
Every once in a while, she would check Manuel’s body temperature.
Two hours later, Manuel’s body temperature came down. He woke up.
“Aisy, did I sleep for a long time?”
“No, two hours,” Ainsley said calmly.
Manuel propped himself up and walked over to Ainsley. He just tried to touch her, but
she dodged.
“Now that you’re awake, leave now.”
Manuel’s hand stopped in mid-air. “Aisy…”
“Leave. I’m going to rest.” Ainsley’s expression became more determined.
Manuel nodded and whispered, “Okay.”
He left. Ainsley lay in bed thinking about it.
Inside the other hotel, Irene looked angrily at the call log on her cell phone. It was
unreachable again.
Where the hell could he be if he wasn’t at the hotel?
He must have gone to Ainsley again. She threw the cup by her hand hard before she finally calmed down.
Early the next morning, Ainsley received an unexpected phone call from Irene.
