Chapter 136 Ethan Says They'll Sleep Together From Now On

"Take your medicine first, then we can have breakfast." Ethan wasn't one to coddle Jasmine, shaking her awake even as he lifted her up.

After all, one needed to take their medication promptly with proper food to recover. Otherwise, it would weaken the immune system.

"I'm sleepy..." Jasmine was truly tired and longed for sleep.

With a fever making her delirious, she continued to slump over Ethan, dozing off on him.

With a sigh of resignation, Ethan carried her to the dining table, coaxing her to eat first.

Her body was burning hot, and her breath was scorching.

Ethan felt a pang of pity, but mostly, he was consumed by guilt.

What had he done to her last night...

"Mr. Douglas." Liam was knocking at the door.

Startled from her daze, Jasmine jolted upright, nearly tumbling over.

Ethan lifted a hand to protect her, hastily tousling her hair. "Stay alert, have some food and medicine first."

Jasmine's heartbeat quickened, her cheeks visibly reddening even more.

She was doomed... She didn't know what she did Ethan.

Seeing Ethan's unfazed expression as he got up to answer the door, Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief.

"The hotel matter has been taken care of, and I've found the involved executives. With pressure and incentives, they finally admitted it was Vittoria's doing," Liam murmured, wary of Ethan's temper.

However, Ethan was already angry.

And he had every right to be; one should feel safe in their own hotel.

"So, what about the receptionists? Should we fire them all?" Liam asked tentatively.

"What's the point of keeping them?" Ethan's voice was low.

"Jasmine, they were just following orders too. You won't hold it against them, will you?" Liam, even without a girlfriend, had a soft spot for the fairer sex.

The receptionists, each one fair-skinned, beautiful, with long legs, begged tearfully, unable to sway Ethan, so they turned to appeal to Jasmine.

Jasmine's head was heavy, and she looked up bewilderedly. "Huh?"

"How do you want to handle those receptionists from last night who stopped you from entering the hotel?" Ethan also respected Jasmine's thoughts.

"Last night..." Jasmine suddenly remembered the people who suspected she was an escort and wouldn't let her into the hotel. "They... they were just following orders, and you could tell they were serious about their job."
