Tobias twitched his lips and replied, “Huh! More than eighty percent? It can last for quite some time. Instead of
wasting your time watching the reality show, you can use the time to do something else. Oh yeah, you don’t have
to step into the kitchen again from tomorrow onwards. Someone will come and prepare our meals.”
Skylar had voiced her opinions earlier on in the kitchen, yet he refused to take them into consideration. The
adamant man still decided to stick to his opinion.
Skylar knew at once that the meals she prepared failed to meet Tobias’ requirements. Even though he did not say
anything during dinner, she noticed that he was eating unusually little. Nonetheless, she was glad that she would
not have to struggle again in thinking of what to prepare for his meals anymore.
Before she could tell Tobias that she was actually not feeling well, her pajamas were already ripped off by him. She
shuddered at the sudden coldness when her body was exposed to the cool air.
When they were both indulged in the passionate session, she stared into his dark eyes as they locked gazes with
each other. Right that instant, she was dazzled by the possessiveness and burning desire in his eyes. The moment
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtafter the highest peak of pleasure, she clung tightly to him and finally heaved a sigh of satisfaction.
Tobias suddenly felt that Skylar’s body temperature was rising gradually. He started to sense something amiss and
asked in great concern, “Your body temperature is unusually high. Are you having a fever?”
Skylar nodded and replied, “Yeah, looks like I’m a bit feverish. It’s alright, I’ll be fine after taking some medicine
later. It’s nothing serious.”
“Do you have a thermometer?” he asked again.
She shook her head and replied, “No, I don’t have one.”
Tobias furrowed his brows and nagged at her, “It’s one of the essential household tools, yet you don’t have one
here. How many times have I told you to lead a healthy lifestyle, but you’re eating so little just because you want to
maintain your figure. Do you know that your immune system will be affected when you lack nutrition? I’m worried
that you will collapse due to health issues first even before you gain popularity. You’re an adult, yet you are still not
aware of the importance of taking good care of yourself.”
Skylar’s heart was greatly touched by Tobias’ nagging. Tears started to well up in her eyes. Out of a sudden, he
sounded more like an elder brother or a father to her.
Struggling to grow up in a family without much love and attention, Skyler ended up having a sense of insecurity and
inferiority. Nobody had ever showered her with love and care like how Tobias was treating her at the moment. It
was sort of a fatherly love which she had been yearning for throughout her life.
Sensing that Skylar was gazing at him blankly, he urged her, “What’re you thinking now? Get changed quickly. I’ll
send you to the hospital now.”
Skylar was reluctant to move as she was sustaining muscle pain all over. Thinking of following her grandma’s
traditional method, she tried to convince Tobias. “It’s really nothing serious. I’ll be fine after taking some medicine.
You don’t have to send me to the hospital. After all, it’s already quite late. I bet all the doctors are off duty at this
hour.”
Tobias snapped at her, “Imagine if there are emergencies at midnight, do you think that those patients can wait till
the doctors report to work the next morning? Do you know that there’s an emergency department? You have no
clue why you have a fever out of a sudden. How dare you act smart by simply taking any medicine?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSkylar was at a loss for words and could only give in to him. She put on her clothes and spent quite a long while
wearing her socks. Meanwhile, Tobias had already gone downstairs with the car key.
All of a sudden, Lina emerged and asked curiously, “Are you going out now? It’s quite late now.”
As Tobias had already started the car engine, Skylar replied hurriedly, “I’m not feeling well and need to go to the
hospital now. Don’t worry, just go to bed first.”
Lina looked worried and offered, “Let me accompany you. At least I can help to look after you.”
Skylar turned her down nicely, “Thanks, but I’m just having mild flu and fever. It’s nothing serious. You don’t have to
accompany me.”
Lina pretended to sound concerned as she saw her off. When Tobias’ car was out of her sight, she turned and went
upstairs. A wave of loneliness swept over her again.
When she was alone at her rented house previously, she had often imagined what it would be like if Tobias was by
her side. How nice if such a stunning man like Tobias can be by my side! As a caring partner, he would definitely
keep me company and do whatever I feel like doing. By then, I won’t be feeling lonely again.
It only took a second to fall for someone. Nevertheless, she was aware of the vast gap between Tobias and her.
