Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1247

Comparing her hand to his, she was ice-cold. On the other hand, Vera was also surprised to find his palm to be very hot.

It was not the usual heat; it was like fire.

Looking at the sweat on Quill's forehead, Vera was even more certain he was having a fever. Her heart ached when she thought of how peculiar he behaved downstairs.

"Why didn't you tell me you're unwell earlier? Are you a fool? We would have been back much sooner if you said something."

Vera said with remorse as she pulled Quill along.

Originally, Quill wanted to leave to get some cold air, but to his dismay, Vera discovered it and wanted to drag him to rest as she thought he was sick.

He was somewhat helpless, but he didn't know how to explain it to her. He could only laugh bitterly.

"I'm a man; I can handle it myself. Didn't you say you're tired? Go and take a shower first. I'll go down to see if there's any medicine. Okay?" Hearing this, Vera stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.

Two seconds later, she shook her head and said, "No, you go back to the room first. I'll go down and help you look!"

Their room was within reach. Vera quickly pulled him to the door and then asked Quill for the hotel key card.

"Go in, quickly. Go rest. I'll go down and ask around."

Quill was speechless.

"Hurry up!"

Under Vera's urging, Quill could only swipe the card and go in. Vera pushed him inside, but she stood outside the door. "Wait for me in the room. Drink some water first. I'll go down and see if there's any medicine. Don't sneak out; wait for me to come back!"

After that, she left, not caring if Quill agreed with her or not.

Quill stood rooted to the spot. He stared at the card in his hand, then at the girl who was running away. He sighed and closed the door resignedly. Then he inserted the card for electricity.

In this situation, how could he tell the little girl directly? He wanted to tell her that he was not having a fever. After he told her the whole situation, would she be afraid of him and think that he was very scary now?

In any case, Quill thought he should take a cold shower first.

He went straight into the bathroom to take a cold shower instead of waiting for the heater.

The cold water washed out a certain degree of heat, but it was palliative. The heat returned quickly.

If he wanted to alleviate it, he could only take a night-long cold shower.

It didn't matter to Quill. He had a good physique, so he didn't care if he had to do so. But he was staying with Vera. If she knew he took a night-long cold shower, she would be distressed.

As time ticked away, Quill felt that it had been a long time, but his girl had yet to return. He turned off the tap and got out of the bathroom as he was worried.

Sure enough, it was quiet outside the bathroom; there was no one.

Ding...

It was the doorbell. As he walked to the door, he thought about how he should explain his situation to Vera.

Creak...

As soon as the door opened, a graceful figure threw herself into Quill's arms and held his waist tightly, wrapping him like a snake.

Quill was shocked for a second. When he smelled an unfamiliar fragrance, he threw her out immediately and then stared at her coldly.

It was Lauren.

She wore a long black silk dress and a sheer robe. Her long hair was down, and she looked at Quill seductively.

"Mr. Hanover, let me help you."

Hearing her words, Quill's eyes darkened. The corner of his mouth was flat as he stared intensely at her.

"It's you."

Lauren smiled gently and said softly, "Yes, it's me.@merely told the waiter that I wanted to treat you to a drink, and he did it for me so obediently. didn't expect you not to be on alert at all Or perhaps... you did it

deliberately, didn't you? Verveert

is too

young; she is certainly not as good as me. If you're willing, I can..."

"Get out!"

Before she could finish her words, Quill yelled at her furiously.

An icy-cold aura instantly enveloped Lauren. Her expression changed slightly, but she still stepped forward and said, "Why do you want to chase me away? That girl has already run away you're the only one in the room now. She wouldn't know even if went in. And I know that drug well; I've put a lot in it. Sono matter how strong-willed you are, you

wouldn't be able to hold it in tonight."

Quill sneered, and an expression that has never been seen before appeared in that instant. His eyes were grim. "Have you thought about the consequences before doing such a thing?"

Lauren was taken aback by the terrifying aura he was emanating. She shuddered subconsciously, but quickly recovered from it and threw herself at him in a desperate attempt.

"Mr. Hanover, all I'm asking for is one night. I will definitely leave after tonight. I won't tell Vera about this either. You and Vera will still be a couple. But if you need me, I will come to you. Okay?"

Quill didn't move, still staring at her coldly.

Lauren was not sure what he was thinking. He neither drove her away nor agreed with her. What did that mean?

Or, could it be that he was wavering?

Just when Lauren thought Quill was tempted by her words, his icy-cold voice traveled to her ears.

"Do you know what I hate most in my life?"

Lauren remained rooted to the ground.

"Unfaithful married women like you." Quill sneered and looked at Lauren as if he was looking at the dead.

Lauren's face turned pale when she heard his words.

To her surprise, what Vera said was true. Quill really hated people like her, yet she still came up to him and said that she could come to him when he needed her. Wouldn't he hate her even more?

D*mn it, she had already thrown away her pride and dignity, but this man's heart was still unyielding. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. "Why? You and Vera are not husband and wife. She can't help you, can't you let me help you?"

"What makes you think you're worthy?"

Lauren was flabbergasted.

She gnashed her teeth so hard they were about to shatter. "What about Vera then? Is she worthy? If she really is, why did you still let her go? Why didn't you tell her the truth? Isn't it..."

However, before Lauren could finish her sentence, Quill interrupted her.

"Humph..."

"I wouldn't bother explaining to

people like you normally, but since you're so eager to know, it won't hurt to tell you. She's like a precious treasure to me; the reason I don't want to tell her the truth is that I'm not willing to let her feel the least bit of grievance and not one of your filthy thoughts. Understand?"

She was like a precious treasure to him? He didn't want her to feel the least bit of grievance?

Lauren thought about how tenderly Quill treated Vera; then she looked at how he was restraining currently. It wasn't that he wasn't interested in her,

but he was truly unwilling for Vera to feel aggrieved!
