Mireya had no energy, so she subconsciously hopped onto his back and wrapped her hands around his neck.
Ryan walked out with Mireya on his back.
It was normal to see a man carrying a woman in a place like a hospital.
Mireya was lying on his back. Only when a chilly wind blew past her did she wonder when Ryan had started carrying her.
Was she being too dramatic? She had never had anyone carry her, not even when she used to feel weak from a fever.
However, lying on a broad back made her relax. She seemed to have found someone to rely on and did not want to come down.
Perhaps no matter how old one was, they would always wish for someone to rely on when they were sick.
Only after Ryan put her down in the car did she mutter, “Are you tired? Am I a bit too heavy?”
“Heavy? It didn’t feel so.”
Ryan bent over to fasten the seat belt for her.
Mireya got a close-up on his handsome face and beautiful, long brows. Suddenly, her heart softened. At one point, she had the urge to extend her hands and wrap them around his neck.
As soon as the idea struck her, a trace of disbelief flashed across her mind. Then, she tapped herself lightly on the head.
Did the fever make her muddle—headed?
“Does your head hurt?” After asking her softly, Ryan stared into her eyes.
“Huh?”
What she received in response was Ryan touching her forehead once again.
“I saw you tapping your head, so I thought you were having a headache,” Ryan explained. “It seems that your temperature has risen.”
“It’s okay. I’ve taken the antipyretic, so I’ll be fine after a while.” Mireya’s neck shrank, and she dodged his hand.
Ryan nodded.
With that, he started the car and drove to Brighton Gardens.” It’s six-ish now. Are you hungry? You should eat something to fill your stomach first.”
“It’s okay. I don’t feel like eating. All I want is to find a spot and lie there.” Mireya shook her head.
Ryan did not say anything else.
After parking his car at the Brighton Gardens’ basement car park, he took her handbag with one hand and helped her get to the elevator with the other.
As soon as they entered the house, Mireya went upstairs alone to remove her coat and trousers. Then, she snuggled in her blanket.
However, she felt someone lifting the upper part of her body halfway during her sleep. Following that, she nestled in a pair of familiar arms.
“Come on. Eat the medicine.” Ryan was holding her medicine.
She held the glass and drank the water with the medicine. The medicine tasted so bitter that her face scrunched up.
“There’s no sugar in your house. Drink some water to get rid of the bitter taste.” Ryan fed her two sips of water before lying her down.
When he got up, he noticed that she was only wearing a tight-fitting beige knit sweater. As he looked downward, he faintly saw a white-laced…
His eyes darkened.
He swiftly averted his gaze away and tucked her in bed.
After his footsteps died down, Mireya subconsciously fell asleep.
When she woke up, she was bathed in sweat. She still hardly had any strength, but her body did not hurt as much as it did earlier.
She sat up and took a pajama shirt from the shirt rack before heading to the bathroom.
Although she did not live here anymore, it was still her home in Canberra. Therefore, the house had all the essential items.
When she finished bathing, it suddenly hit her that she had forgotten to take her pajama pants. Hence, she walked out of the bathroom only in a pajama shirt.
As soon as she walked to the middle of the bedroom, the door suddenly opened.
Ryan walked in and saw the woman in the room whose hair was wet. She was wearing a pure white pajama shirt above her hip, and below were light yellow panties, with two fair, straight legs exposed.
On top of that, the first few buttons of her pajama shirt were not buttoned, revealing half of her upper body.
Ryan nearly dropped the porridge. Flames of passion began to surge up his body, and he began to breathe rapidly in spite of himself.
His eyes met Mireya’s. When Mireya came to her senses, she screamed in terror and curled up underneath the blanket in a sorry state. After that, her face flushed red, and she went insane. “Ryan Snow, why are you still here?”
“Where else can I be? I’ve been downstairs.”
Ryan suppressed his discomfort and took a deep breath. He then placed the bowl beside his bed before stealing a glance at the woman under the blanket.
The scene just now flashed across his mind once again.
He shut his eyes in a rather awkward manner. When he opened them again, they had become clear as usual. “I’ve cooked some porridge for you.”
“…Oh… Oh.”
Mireya’s flushed face and the water dripping from her black hair to her fair cheeks made her look extremely alluring.
Ryan reckoned that she was unaware of how alluring she looked now. “I’ll go out first. Please put on your pants.”
He stood up before turning around and closing the door when he left.
Mireya slinked out of her blanket and then glanced at her sexy appearance. How she wished she could hit herself with a brick.
Forget it.
She closed her eyes and told herself that Ryan was interested in men.
Perhaps he was disgusted by her body when he saw it.
However, was he really disgusted? Suddenly, she did not feel too well.
She took a glimpse of the hot porridge, which had some minced meat and vegetables, beside her. She spooned the porridge and cooled it before tasting it. Despite having a poor appetite, she could sense the strong taste of porridge.
Five minutes later, Ryan knocked on the door once again. “Have you worn your pajama pants?”
“Come in.”
Mireya took a deep breath.
When Ryan opened the door and entered, she was already dressed in a thick winter pajama set. She was holding the porridge bowl and sipping on the porridge on the couch.
When Mireya met his dark eyes, she felt awkward for a moment. Not knowing whether it was because she had just showered or that she was embarrassed, Ryan found her pretty face enticing under the lights.
“I… I thought you left. ” She lowered her head while having the porridge. Her face was so low that it was almost buried in the bowl.
“How could I have left when you still have a fever?
The doctor said that your fever might come back on and off.” As Ryan was speaking, he touched her forehead again.
She shuddered and felt his hand burning, not knowing if it was an illusion. “I think I feel a lot better. Earlier, I sweated a lot…”
“It seems fine now that I’m touching your forehead. But your body temperature isn’t accurate since you’ve just taken a bath.” Ryan asked, ” Where’s the hairdryer?”
“In the bathroom. I’ll dry my hair after I finish my food.”
As soon as Mireya finished speaking, Ryan entered the bathroom, took out the dryer, and plugged it in. Then, he stood behind her and started drying her hair.
