Chapter 438
The two stared at each other for a while, and finally, it was Briana who broke the silence: “How about you get a
temporary nanny?”
Rayan looked sympathetically at Maxim, who was lying unconscious on the bed. He was so badly burned, yet Ms.
Schneider still refused to stay and take care of him. It seemed that this time, Mr. Yoder had truly angered Ms.
Schneider.
“Ms. Schneider, Mr. Yoder was a clean freak and didn’t like strangers touching him.”
Briana frowned, “I’ve already broken up with him. Now, to him, I’m also a stranger.”
“But Mr. Yoder must not have thought so in his heart, he wouldn’t dislike anyone, let alone you! I’m in a hurry, so I’ll
leave Mr. Yoder to you!”
After speaking, Rayan ran off like a shot, fearing that Briana would reject him again.
Briana looked at his retreating figure with a speechless expression, why did she have a feeling of being schemed
against?
Took Maxim’s temperature, it was up to 39.3 degrees Celsius.
She went to the living room to pour a glass of water for him to take his medicine, then put a fever patch on his
forehead. Afterwards, she pulled up a chair to sit by the bed, making it convenient to check his temperature every

Realizing that the fever patch was a bit crooked, Briana got up

intending to peel it off and reapply it.
As soon as I touched Maxim’s forehead, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Briana was taken aback, still not reacting, when Maxim suddenly grabbed her wrist and flipped her underneath him.
“Briana……”
With a whisper, his lips fell.
Due to his fever, his lips were incredibly hot, as if a fire was burning from his lips straight into Briana’s heart, like a
wildfire. Her previously quiet heart started to beat wildly once again.
“Um… let… go…”
She wanted to push Maxim away, but Maxim was so strong that she couldn’t push him away at all!
She gritted her teeth in anger, wanting to knock him out with a single slap, yet she was afraid that his current illness
might cause some problems if she did.
Forget it, just consider it as being bitten by a dog.
Before long, Maxim had released her lips.
Briana let out a sigh, about to push him away, but the next second, she froze abruptly.
Maxim was actually kissing her neck!
Moreover, there was also a gradually declining trend.
Briana, unable to bear it any longer, finally pushed him away and swiftly stood up beside the bed, coldly watching
him.

If it weren’t for the sickly flush on his face, Briana would have doubted whether he was pretending to be ill to take
advantage of her.
It seemed that due to the fever, Maxim’s thinking ability had also declined.
After being pushed away by Briana, he remained sitting on the bed in a daze for a while before looking at Briana
with a face full of grievance.
“Briana, did you… really not want me anymore?”
Briana had never seen Maxim like this before, devoid of his usual cold and domineering demeanor. His eyes were
filled with a fragility that seemed ready to shatter at the slightest touch, making him look somewhat pitiful.
She furrowed her brows, wanting to say yes, but looking at his current state, she just couldn’t bring herself to
speak.
Forget it, why bother arguing with a sick person? He must be delirious. otherwise how could he possibly speak to
her in such a tone and
manner.

However, Maxim paid no attention to her words, but continued to look at her pitifully, stubbornly demanding an
answer.
“Did you really not want me anymore?”
Briana took a deep breath and slowly said, “I didn’t, you lie down and rest first.”
“I wanted to sleep with you.”
Having said that, he didn’t care whether Briana agreed or not. With a stretch of his long arm, he directly grabbed
her waist and carried her to

the bed, forcing her to lie down with him.
Briana frowned, gritting her teeth, “I don’t want to sleep, and later I need to check if you still have a fever. Let go of
me first.”
“No, if I let you go, you’ll run away.”
“I couldn’t run.”
“Enough talking, sleep!”
He held her waist tightly, not giving her any chance to escape at all.
Briana struggled for a while but failed to escape, so she simply gave up, closed her eyes and rested.
I originally thought I would suffer from insomnia, but unexpectedly, I fell asleep not long after.
