And if something happened to her, Grandpa would be the one to get worked up and end up in the hospital again.
After a moment’s hesitation, he decided to wake her up so she could take fever medicine herself
But no matter how many times he called her name, she stayed curled up like a small, abandoned animal. She didn’t even show signs of waking.
He didn’t want any physical contact with her.
But it was an emergency, Reluctantly, he reached out and gave her shoulder a light shake, hoping it would snap her out of it.
“So cold…
Lily was shivering uncontrollably. Even in her dreams, she was trapped in a frozen, snow-covered world.
James’s hand, warm against her shoulder, became the only heat she could feel. Without thinking, she reached out to cling to it.
“Lily, wake up. You need to take some medicine.”
Just as James reached out to shake her again, her entire body suddenly pressed into his. She wrapped herself tightly around him..
Caught off guard, he stumbled and fell backward onto the bed.
She was on top. He was underneath.
James’s entire body went rigid like a block of stone.
His face darkened instantly, like ink spreading through water.
He never thought there would come a day when a woman would have the nerve to pin him down.
Her forehead was burning, but her hands and feet were ice-cold.
She was completely out of it-no idea what she was doing.
Guided purely by instinct, she clung to the human furnace beneath her, desperate for warmth.
James was momentarily stunned-then realized she was starting to fug open his robe.
She wasn’t content with just touching his chest-her hand kept going, sliding down the lines of his abs and
“Lily!”
James grabbed her, trying to push her off.
But she was clinging like an octopus. No matter how he tried, he couldn’t shake her loose.
She seemed irritated by the sound of his voice. Without warning, she lifted her hand and slapped it over his mouth.
Honestly, James never imagined that one day he would be forcibly silenced like this.
His expression grew even colder. His voice was sharp and commanding. “Take your hand off me! Get off right now!”
Lily was deep in her fever haze and didn’t even recognize his voice.
She was still lost in that icy dream.
In the dream, endless snow stretched to the horizon.
No matter how far she ran, there was no sunlight, no warmth-only frost and chill that cut through to the bone
Just when she thought she’d be trapped in that frozen world forever, she stumbled across a steaming stove. radiating warmth.
Having finally found something that could save her, she had no intention of letting go.
But the stove had a mouth and kept nagging her to leave. It wouldn’t stop talking, and it was driving her crazy
She didn’t have thread to sew it shut-so she used her hand.
But that didn’t work either.
The stove was still too noisy.
Craving peace, she leaned down and sealed his mouth with her own.
“Lily, stay away from me! I told you-don’t ever-“
James didn’t even f finish the sentence.
Something soft pressed against his lips.
His mind exploded with static.
He froze completely for nearly thirty seconds before the realization hit him.
The thing on his lips-Was Lily’s mouth.
For a split second, James thought of the cotton candy he used to eat as a kid-sweet, airy, and light.
It was soft. Unbelievably soft
“Lily!”
The moment James realized he had just kissed Lily, he was absolutely disgusted with himself.
Grinding his teeth, he growled, “Don’t touch me!”
Then, with one sharp motion, he threw her off.
The warm furnace in her arms suddenly flew away. Lily jolted awake in a panic.
Her head was still heavy, and her whole body felt awful, but she could still recognize that the man lying on the bed with his robe hanging open was James.
And across his bare chest, there were clear scratch marks.
Her gaze froze and shifted downward. There were more marks across his abs and down his V-line.
Any lower, and… it was barely covered.
“Lily, remember what you said. Don’t ever touch me again!”
At the sound of his voice, Lily instinctively looked up-and saw that his perfectly shaped lips were slightly tom.
Her pupils shrank in alarm.
Those scratches on his chest and stomach-had she made those?
His lip-was that her doing too?
She’d always thought of herself as a decent person. So how come, ever since she met him, she kept doing things she couldn’t even put into words?
She could vaguely tell that she had a fever.
And she wasn’t stupid-she could guess what happened. He must have realized something was wrong and tried to wake her up to take medicine. And she… she’d returned the favor by turning into a disaster.
Her face burned with shame. She wanted nothing more than to chop her hands off
When she saw him rise from her bed and tie his robe tightly, his face dark as night, she shivered and felt she had to say something.
Awkwardly, she cleared her throat and said in a tiny voice, “I didn’t mean to,”
“I… I think I had a fever. I was really cold. I thought you were a heater in my dream. That’s the only reason I did those weird things. I’m really sorry, Please don’t take it personally-I promise it won’t happen again.”
James’s face stayed frosty, like nothing had changed.
What she’d done was way out of line. It wasn’t something he could easily forget.
Lily could tell his mood hadn’t improved.
Clearly, he hadn’t forgiven her.
She lowered her head even further and apologized again, more sincerely. “I have no idea how my stupid hands pulled your robe open and… anyway, I’m really sorry. If you want to smack my hands a few times to get it out of your system, go ahead”
Luke family men didn’t hit women.
And touching her to do that? Absolutely not.
All he could do was glare coldly and say, “Be more careful from now on. For the rest of these few months, I don’t want anything like that to happen again. I already have someone in my heart, and you’ll find someone too. We both need to have some self-respect.
