38: Chapter 38: She Has a Cold 38: Chapter 38: She Has a Cold “Yusuf…
Yusuf Zuck, we really don’t have any large clothes at ho.
I could only find a bath towel, so wrap yourself with the bath towel after you co out.” After Miles O’Brien made ginger soup, she looked around the closet, but since there really were no n’s clothes at ho, she had to settle for a large bath towel and placed it by the door.
“Okay, got it.” Yusuf Zuck was almost done showering by then.
He was just rinsing off the bad luck and sweat sll, and generally, n take much less ti to bathe and wash up than won!
Miles O’Brien turned and headed back to the kitchen, but she seed a little unsteady, reeling as if she was about to collapse.
After all, she’d just sobered up from drinking too much, hadn’t slept the night before, and then had a cold shower, so with all three things hitting her at once, her eyelids began to fight each other.
She felt tired, sleepy, and cold, and her whole brain was foggy.
But Yusuf Zuck had not co out yet, and as the host, she couldn’t go to sleep first, so she gritted her teeth and persevered.
Just about three minutes later, before Miles O’Brien’s ginger soup was ready, Yusuf Zuck opened the bathroom door and quickly took the bath towel into the bathroom.
He wrapped himself up before stepping out!
“How did you…
Ah…” Hearing footsteps, Miles O’Brien started to ask Yusuf Zuck how he finished showering so fast but then suddenly choked and couldn’t finish her sentence!
For at that mont, Yusuf Zuck had a vividly inked tattoo on his chest, a green dragon whose tail coiled around his arm, looking ferocious.
Yusuf Zuck just gave a bitter smile and shook his head, saying softly, “I’ll cook the ginger soup for you.
Go take a shower first!” Noticing Miles O’Brien’s red neck and her sowhat scared look, he spoke very gently, as if afraid of frightening her.
“Okay…
okay…” Miles O’Brien, with her head down, seed a bit spirited again and hurriedly walked into the bathroom sowhat flustered.
Once inside, she leaned against the door, patting her chest with one hand and covering her forehead with the other.
She actually didn’t want to bathe because she was too sleepy and wanted to sleep.
But the shock from seeing Yusuf Zuck’s tattoo had sent her straight into the bathroom.
Not only was it her first ti bringing a man ho, but it was also her first ti seeing a tattooed man.
To say she wasn’t scared would be a lie; at this mont, her heart was almost pounding out of her chest.
“Huh?
Even the underwear is washed?” After calming down for a mont, she looked toward the clothesline inside the bathroom and saw a pair of n’s underwear that had just been washed hanging there.
“Tch…” She clicked her tongue in secret, her face becoming even more crimson.
This man really didn’t consider himself a stranger, going so far as to wash his underwear.
“I’m so dizzy…
But maybe a hot bath will help chase away the chill.” After thinking it over, Miles O’Brien started to undress and turned the washing machine on to fill with water, for it contained Yusuf Zuck’s clothes and pants!
Monts later, the bathroom was steaming, and she comfortably lay down in the bathtub…
So fifteen minutes later, Yusuf Zuck finished boiling the ginger soup and had a small bowl himself before sitting on the couch in the living room to watch TV.
After another fifteen minutes, Yusuf Zuck grew tired as well.
He glanced at the wall clock and saw it was almost 4 a.m., but there was no sign of movent from Miles O’Brien inside.
“Miles…
Miles O’Brien?” Yusuf Zuck tried calling out.
He wondered where he should sleep.
However, there was no answer from Miles O’Brien inside, as if she hadn’t heard him at all.
“Miles O’Brien?” Yusuf Zuck called out again, louder this ti.
Still no response!
Yusuf Zuck stood up and took big strides to the bathroom door, knocking softly, “Miles O’Brien?”
“Hmm?” Still no sound.
At that mont, Yusuf Zuck was startled, and finally, he released his Telekinesis into the bathroom!
In the bathtub, Miles O’Brien had actually fallen asleep.
Yusuf Zuck didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and then knocked hard on the door, calling out, “Miles O’Brien,” attempting to wake her.
“No, that’s not right.” Using Telekinesis, Yusuf Zuck realized that Miles O’Brien had no reaction at all.
Logically, the loud knocking should have been heard even downstairs, yet Miles O’Brien didn’t hear it?
“This is bad.” Yusuf Zuck grasped the doorknob firmly and twisted, finding that the bathroom door wasn’t locked.
He strode in and knelt beside the tub to check Miles O’Brien’s breathing and forehead!
“Damn, she’s burning up!” Once he checked, Yusuf Zuck found that Miles O’Brien was running a high fever and had lost consciousness!
He stood up, reaching out to lift Miles O’Brien from the tub.
But…
he hesitated halfway through because, in the murky view of the tub, Miles O’Brien was completely naked.
“No choice, I have to get her out first, sorry.” Yusuf Zuck bit his teeth; in such a situation, not pulling her out could lead to a risk of her dying in the water, so he reached out a large hand, one hand under her legs, the other supporting her neck, and lifted her from the water.
The water had grown a bit cold.
Miles O’Brien seed to sense sothing and mumbled drowsily, half-asleep, as if about to turn over.
“Miles O’Brien, stop sleeping, stop sleeping.
Wake up, wake up,” Yusuf Zuck kept calling while holding her, trying to rouse her.
“I’m tired, let sleep a bit more,” murmured Miles O’Brien drowsily.
“Damn…” Yusuf Zuck knew she was out of her senses because of the fever.
He placed her on the couch and then undone his own towel, from inside to outside, helping her to dry off.
Of course, at this mont, Yusuf Zuck’s eyes were sowhat glazed, and there seed to be fire in his throat.
Thankfully, he wasn’t the type to take advantage of soone in a vulnerable state.
He was a man led by reason, so after drying her off, he picked her up again, entered the bedroom, laid her on the bed, and covered her with the blanket.
“First have so ginger soup, then we’ll find dicine,” Yusuf Zuck said as he rushed to the kitchen to reheat the ginger soup.
Monts later, he returned to the bedroom carrying her and propping her up against himself.
“Miles O’brien, it’s ti for the ginger soup.” Since she was in a drowsy state, Yusuf Zuck could only hold her chin with one hand and pour the ginger soup into her mouth.
“It’s hot… you…” She mumbled vaguely, but before she could finish, her consciousness seed to brighten; after all, she wasn’t really unconscious, just feverish and sleepy.
So with Yusuf Zuck’s fuss, she woke up and instinctively looked up at Yusuf Zuck, then at herself, and then at Yusuf Zuck’s body!
“Ah… ah… ah…” she scread, flailing and knocking the soup bowl from Yusuf Zuck’s hand.
“Stop yelling!
What are you yelling for?
Shut up!” Yusuf Zuck suddenly shouted, his eyes wide with anger!
And indeed, when he reprimanded her like that, Miles O’brien instantly wilted and shrank into the blankets, closing her eyes!
She was screaming because Yusuf Zuck was nude while feeding her soup, and she was nude as well.
“You have a fever, and you were asleep in the bathtub, so don’t shout like that.
I didn’t do anything inappropriate to you, I was just feeding you ginger soup!” Yusuf Zuck said in a gentler tone.
“Then why did you take off your towel?” Louise Garrett asked with tears in her eyes and a cold voice.
“When I picked you up, your body was all wet.
I didn’t know where to find a dry towel, and you wouldn’t wake up, so I took off my towel to dry you off… uh… I was just drying your body… didn’t do anything else!”
“Thank you.
Can you please put the towel on now?” Louise Garrett said, sounding aggrieved.
“Okay, okay, I’ll put it on.
You’ve got a high fever, hurry up and drink the ginger soup while it’s hot.
Also, tell where the dicine is in your house?
I’ll go get it!” After speaking, Yusuf Zuck rushed back to the living room, wrapped the towel around himself again, and then returned with another bowl of ginger soup.
When he ca back to the bedroom, Miles O’brien had stopped crying and sat up, but she had wrapped herself tightly in the blanket.
Her face was still very red, half from embarrassnt and half from the fever.
“Drink it while it’s hot,” Yusuf Zuck offered her the ginger soup.
She took it with trembling hands, not daring to look at Yusuf Zuck, and then she began to sip it slowly.
“Do you have dicine at ho?
I’ll go look for it.”
“It’s in the drawer under the TV cabinet,” she replied, her head still lowered.
“Wait here.” Yusuf Zuck walked out again.
Watching Yusuf Zuck running back and forth, getting ginger soup and looking for dicine, Louise Garrett felt a bit dazed, her mind unsure of what to think.
After about half an hour of activity, having drunk two bowls of ginger soup and taken two kinds of dicine, Louise Garrett lay down, staring straight at Yusuf Zuck, who hadn’t left.
“You should sleep; you’ll feel much better after waking up.
I’m going to catch a nap too,” Yusuf Zuck said, embarrassed by her steady gaze.
“You’re a good person!” Louise Garrett finally spoke, looking at Yusuf Zuck and saying, “Thanks for helping .”
“Don’t ntion it.
I’m not that great, you know.” Yusuf Zuck chuckled twice, then turned to leave.
However, suddenly, just as Yusuf Zuck turned around, Louise Garrett said quickly and with a quivering voice, “There aren’t blankets in the other room, co sleep here, turn off the light.”
“Click—” Without a second thought, Yusuf Zuck turned off the light and quickly got onto the bed, slipping into her blanket.
Seeing how eagerly Yusuf Zuck jumped into bed, Louise Garrett was stunned.
He had just seed like a gentleman, so why did he suddenly turn into a scoundrel?
“At the invitation of a beauty, if I didn’t co, that would be truly hypocritical.
To be honest, I want to get into bed.
Of course, we won’t do anything, just let hold you for a while.
You have a fever, and I’m not that immoral!” After speaking, Yusuf Zuck assertively flipped Louise Garrett over and embraced her!
And so, the two of them were ‘honestly’ facing each other!
Yusuf Zuck also kept his word, not moving again, but one hand was wrapped around her neck and the other patting her back.
Their bodies pressed together, Louise Garrett seed to relax and, feeling his heartbeat and the strength of his dominant arms, she nestled her head on his chest like a bird relying on a person, feeling an inexplicable sense of safety and trust with this man.
He said he wouldn’t touch her, and she believed he wouldn’t, even while being held like this.
Is this…
what they call a one-night stand?
