Chapter 842
Every time Ye Junqing touched her face with his hand, which normally felt warm, it was now as cold as an iron brand, chilling to the bone. Ye Xingguang shivered from the cold and couldn’t help but complain, “Why are your hands so cold?”
Ye Junqing was still on the phone, and after something was said through the earpiece, he responded, “Alright, five minutes tops, wait for me at the emergency room entrance!”
Ye Junqing had already floored the accelerator. After midnight, even the traffic lights were off, and the roads were nearly empty. He sped along the road, ignoring the several times his speeding was captured by traffic cameras. He adjusted his earpiece, ended the call, and then reached out to ruffle her hair.
“Your hands are really cold.” Ye Xingguang caught his hand and found his palm was all sweaty.
Ye Junqing didn’t pay her any mind. He felt awful too. Actually, he was in no condition to drive, but he couldn’t find any bodyguards at midnight. Waiting for them would be a waste of time, so Ye Junqing had no choice but to summon all his willpower and focus on driving.
The woman beside him was like poison, igniting his desire for her. Ye Junqing forced himself not to look at her.
Ye Xingguang sat up straight, a foul taste in her mouth. She searched the car for tissues to wipe it.
Now, with a clear view and no more stomach pain – after throwing up, her stomach had settled – she felt fine. Only her arms hurt from tumbling down the stairs, but the pain wasn’t severe; it would pass with some endurance.
It was him, though, with beads of sweat the size of peas on his forehead. Ye Xingguang pulled out a tissue and wiped his forehead for him.
Ye Junqing shouted at her, “Don’t touch me!”
“I was just trying to wipe your sweat.”
“Stay away from me!” Ye Junqing’s breath was heavy.
Right now, his insides felt as if they were roasting over a fire while his limbs seemed to be tossed onto the icy glaciers of the Arctic, experiencing a clash of extreme heat and cold. His blood boiled and raged within him, desperate to devour her, yet here she was reaching out to tempt him!noveldrama
But Ye Xingguang kept wiping. Ye Junqing’s voice was low and hoarse, “I told you not to touch me!”
“Why are you yelling? Your forehead is covered in sweat. I’m just trying to help you wipe it off.”
Ye Xingguang’s eyes reddened as she finished speaking. Then, as if she realized something, she placed her hand on his forehead and grabbed his arm, only to find his entire body cold and trembling. She gasped in shock, “Are you… are you having another flare-up of your old ailment? Stop the car; I’m fine now, no need for the hospital, I’m much better.”
Ye Junqing ignored her, his speed had already soared to the limit. The image of her rolling down the stairs was still vivid in his mind, causing him lingering trepidations. Why hadn’t he caught her?
“Stop the car already, driving so fast is dangerous, you might crash. I’m really okay; let me drive.”
Let her drive? Creeping down the road at thirty miles per hour like a snail?
Having experienced her driving once, he felt like he was on the verge of a heart attack; sitting in the passenger seat, he was tempted to curse the entire way.
