Claiming Her Back

Chapter 87

The cold Jessica caught was overwhelming. Jessica felt so unwell and dizzy.

Jessica had a bowl of corn soup and said to Terry, “Thank you.”

Probably due to the fever, Jessica’s pale face blushed.

Terry clicked his tongue and raised his hand to rub Jessica’s head. “You are more than welcome. Be Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

good and let’s go to the hospital.”

Jessica had a fever and her body temperature was thus high. Terry’s palm fell on her forehead and she

could feel the gap between their body temperatures.

Jessica shook her head stubbornly. “I’m not going to the hospital.”

Terry suddenly leaned over, his pair of almond eyes staring straight at Jessica. He looked at her with a

sly smile. “Make a choice between me carrying you and you following me.”

The two of them gazed at each other for a few seconds, and finally, Jessica gave up.

She was so bunged up that she even shed tears. She looked somehow weaker.

“I’ll get a coat.”

Terry then stood up, lifted his eyelids, and looked at Jessica with a satisfied smile.

Jessica was physically tough. She caught a sudden cold, probably from the bath she took. Last night,

she fell asleep in her bathtub. When she woke up, the water had already turned cold.

Terry looked back at Jessica and asked, “Are you afraid of seeing a doctor?”

“What’s there to be afraid of about seeing a doctor?” Jessica covered her nose with a tissue. Her

bunged nose made her feel dizzy.

“I see.” Terry smiled. He said nothing more.

Terry made a call, and a doctor came in soon.

The doctor was Terry’s friend, and his eyes lit up when he saw Jessica.

The two men looked at each other. Though they said nothing, a message was conveyed.

The doctor retracted his gaze and looked at Jessica. “How do you feel, Miss Hall?”

“I’ve caught a cold. I’m bunged up and I’m having a fever…”

Jessica listed her symptoms one by one. She then looked at the doctor and said in a low voice, “I don’t

need an infusion. I’ll be fine in a few days.”

When Terry heard that, the smile in his eyes deepened.

*There’s indeed no need for the infusion. You’ll be fine in three days if you take medicine, But if the

fever doesn’t subside, you’ll have to get the infusion.”

Jessica nodded. She picked up the bag beside her. When she got up, she couldn’t stand straight and

fell over toward Terry

Terry put his hand on Jessica’s to hold her. When Jessica stood up, Terry took the opportunity to hold

Jessica’s hand. “No infusion, no fear, right?”

Jessica could tell that Terry was teasing her. She then glanced at him and refuted, “Don’t you afraid of

anything?”

Terry turned to face Jessica, meeting her eyes with a meaningful gaze.

Jessica felt that Terry was about to say something about her again, so she said nothing but “I see” to

stop Terry from saying more.

Jessica took a few steps before she realized that Terry was still holding Jessica’s hand. She hurriedly

pulled her hand back

Yet Terry suddenly turned around to face Jessica and asked, “What’s about it?”

Terry pretended not to tell what Jessica was uneasy about, which made Jessica a bit embarrassed. “It’s

no biggie. Let’s get out of here.”

“You don’t feel well?”

Terry raised his eyebrows. He seemed to have seen through Jessica. “You should have told me earlier.

You don’t have to hang in if you don’t feel well.”

As he spoke, Terry bent down and lifted Jessica up.

Jessica was indeed unwell and dizzy. She couldn’t react when Terry suddenly lifted her up.

–

Instinctively, Jessica reached out to hold Terry’s neck so that she wouldn’t fall.

Jessica snapped out of her daze and said, “Terry, put me down.”.

Terry looked down at Jessica and said, “Don’t be shy. You don’t have to feel embarrassed about being

a patient.”

The two of them were not on the same page.

Jessica couldn’t straighten her thoughts up. She wanted to refute, yet she realized that Terry had

tricked her

Although it was already lunch break at the hospital, there were still many patients waiting in line to get

the medicine in the lobby.

Terry and Jessica also had to wait in line to get the medicine. Carrying Jessica, Terry walked into the

crowd. They caught a lot of attention from the crowd.

“If you are embarrassed, bury your head in my arms. No one can see your face. If there’s any gossip, it

will be only about me.”

Jessica couldn’t stand so many people looking at her, so she threw herself into Terry’s arms.

This was the first time Jessica was so close to Terry. She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Jessica

found his smell farniliar.

However, Jessica didn’t know why it was familiar. The smell was not only pleasant but also soporific,
