Chapter 225 I Just Want to Kiss You

Soon, Lucas had parked the car.

The garage was brightly lit, and it was only then that Lucas noticed Marion’s cheeks were flushed. “We’re here.”

Marion snapped back to reality, looking out of the car and realizing they had reached home.

Not only was she dizzy, but she was feeling warm too.

Marion instinctively raised her hand to touch her cheek, feeling the warmth. She was surprised. “Am I running a fever?”
