Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

Chapter 135 Carry You There

The illness made Becky slow on the uptake. She raised her head and looked at Devin. The sunlight just shone on his face and gave him an inexplicable tenderness.

Seeing that she was unresponsive, Devin touched her lips with the spoon, bringing her back to reality.

Becky came to her senses. She opened her mouth and ate the spoon of porridge.

As he had said, it was not hot.

The cold made Becky very uncomfortable and somewhat muddleheaded. After taking the first bite, she didn’t refuse to let Devin feed her anymore.

Becky ate up the porridge in silence. Devin tried not to bore her with any unnecessary conversation. “Thank you,” she muttered after she took her final swallow.

As Devin watched Becky’s face, he didn’t fail to notice how red her cheeks looked since she was having a fever. However, she looked more approachable than usual.

“Anytime.” Devin gently touched her forehead with his palm, clicking his tongue. “We must get you to the hospital.”

Becky felt hot all over. When Devin’s cool hand fell on her forehead, she felt comfortable.

“I don’t want to. Once I take the medicine I ordered online, I will be very much better,” Becky said as she shook her head. The bowl of porridge made her feel better.

Immediately after she finished speaking, they heard a knock on the door.

The delivery guy had brought the medicine Becky had ordered. When Devin collected the medicine from him, he threw it into the trash can. “What is it about hospitals that you are so afraid of?”

He bent down and looked at Becky with a small smile. “Come with me. Or would you mind if I carry you in my arms and take you there?”

Becky looked at him for a while. She could not deny that he was right. She nodded gently and sat up.

Her eyes misted because her nose was stuffed up. This made her appear unusually vulnerable in front of Devin.

“Let me get my coat.”

Devin flashed her a satisfactory smile and said, “Okay.”

Becky was among the few residents of Courtbush who had caught a cold and were visiting the hospital. There was no cause for alarm, however, for it was March, a season of late spring coldness.

As Becky and Devin arrived, they were told by one of the nurses that registration was no longer available. Becky breathed a sigh of relief. “I guess the doctors have called it a day. I’ll just go back home, take my medicine, and have a good rest.”

Becky had always had a strong immune system. Her sudden illness resulted from a cold bath last night. She had been deep in thought for a long time, and as a result, the water went cold.

“Don’t tell me you are scared of seeing a doctor?” Devin teased.

“Of course not.”

Becky felt dizzy from her snuffling nose and sneezed into a tissue.

Devin stepped aside to make a call. When he was done, he took Becky’s hand and headed to another consulting room.

Fortunately for Becky, Devin had a doctor friend in the hospital. When they entered the doctor’s office, the doctor’s eyes lit up. He looked at Devin and the two of them exchanged a knowing look.

“How are you feeling today, Miss Ramos?” the doctor asked gently.

“I’m currently down with a fever. It started last night when I exposed myself to cold. My nose is also blocked. But I’m sure I don’t need any infusion. I will feel better soon.” Becky spoke.

Devin smiled at her words. He had anticipated her to give the doctor such a response.

The doctor kept a neutral face. “You won’t be having an infusion. I will prescribe some medicine for you which you will take for three days. If you are not better after the dose, then you will be placed on a drip.”

“Thank you, doctor,” Becky said and grabbed her handbag. As soon as she stood up, her feet wobbled. However, Devin was quick to hold her in his strong arms, preventing her from hitting the floor.

When she regained her balance, Devin teased her while grabbing her hand. “Now that you don’t need to have an infusion, you are relieved, aren’t you?”

For some reason, Becky took offense at his joke. She gave him a strict glance and said, “You speak as though you are not afraid of anything.”

“Well, I do have something that I’m afraid of,” Devin answered meaningfully.

Becky had a feeling that she’d better not continue the topic.

“Fine,” she said simply and then remained silent.
