Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 488: Medication (Part Two) 

Rachel’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.She opened her eyes and pressed her pink lips against Victor’s.

Slowly, she let the water in her mouth stream into his to stop him from spitting out the pill.

It was the first time she had such a close look at Victor.Her heart beat slowly at the thought.

It boomed in her ears so loudly that she couldn’t believe it was hers.

Rachel didn’t know how much time had passed before the water in her mouth was all gone.

Subconsciously, Victor swallowed the water along with the pill, Rachel looked away and tried to calm herself down.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Victor opened his eyes.

His dark orbs stared at her and pulled her in just like always.

Victor had woken up.

Rachel’s heart sank at the realization.She immediately stood up and distanced herself from him, unconsciously clenching her fist on the edge of the bed.

The images of her kissing Victor just now flashed through her mind.

No, that was not a kiss.

She quickly reined in her thoughts.

She had no choice but to do so because Victor couldn’t take the medicine on his own.

Even if it had been someone else, then she wouldn’t have hesitated to do the 11 same.

Jere unco I Wc Rachel hurried to explain herself.

"Don’t misunderstand.That was antipyretic.You couldn’t take it while you were unconscious, but your fever wasn’t going down, so I had no choice…"

Rachel paused.

That only made things seem worse than they really were.

Rachel closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Now that you are awake, drink that glass of warm water before you go back to sleep.Carson’s car broke down and he can’t come to pick you up.When the rain stops, Roger will…"

As she spoke, Rachel couldn’t help but sense that something was wrong.

Victor said nothing.

He didn’t even react to anything she said, and he just stared at her blankly.He didn’t look sober.

Rachel frowned as she leaned in.

"Victor?" He didn’t respond.

Rachel reached out her hand and waved it in front of Victor’s face, but nothing changed.

Rachel pressed her lips.

She was almost sure that Victor was still unconscious.

But if Victor hadn’t woken up, how could he have opened his eyes? While Rachel was still lost in thought, her wrist was suddenly grabbed and she was pulled forward.

She fell into Victor’s arms, and he held her there.

Rachel opened her mouth to shout at him.

But before she could finish her words, he turned them over and imprisoned her under his body. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

He then lowered his head and kissed her.

Rachel’s eyes widened at the escalation of things.

She wanted to push him away, but he clasped her hand above her head while the other was squeezed between them.

She couldn’t break free even if she tried. Although Victor’s whole body was burning with fever, his lips were cool on hers.

He didn’t push it.He just kissed Rachel gently, as if she was going to break if he used too much force.

Rachel’s heartbeat became faster.

Gradually, all the sounds around her were drowned out, and she could only hear her heartbeat.

There was always a faint woody scent on Victor’s body.

It was fresh and pleasant, like a drug to her senses.

Unlike before, Victor was so gentle that she couldn’t help but lose herself in his tenderness.

She knew he was not completely sober because of the high fever.

‘No.No way! Rachel, what are you thinking?’ Just as Rachel gave up struggling and slowly closed her eyes, she suddenly came to her senses and bit Victor’s bottom lip hard.

As he frowned in pain, she bent her knee and hit his stomach.

Then she quickly pulled her hand back from his loosened grip and pushed him away.

Rachel got up from the bed and left the room without sparing him a glance.

Being hit in the abdomen, Victor coughed in pain as the air went out of his lungs.He lay on his side on the bed, with his hand on his chest.His face was paler than before.He clearly felt the sharp pain in his abdomen, but he still smiled.

If Rachel turned back then, she would found the man lying on the bed with his eyes shining brightly.

He didn’t look like someone with a fever.

Rachel walked down the stairs quickly, her heart still drumming in her chest.

Joey had already woken up and was sitting in the living room.

He took a piece of orange and was about to put it in his mouth when he saw Rachel coming down in a panic.

"Mommy, what’s wrong?"

Rachel forced herself to calm down.

"Joey, you’re awake."

Joey handed the orange to Rachel and nodded.

"Mommy, you don’t look too good.Are you feeling unwell?"

"Really?"

Rachel sat down and touched her cheek with the back of her hand, Joey looked at Rachel and blinked his eyes as he searched her face.

"Maybe it’s because I missed a step when I was coming downstairs just now.It scared me a little."

Rachel smiled and ate the orange.

"When did you wake up?"

"Just now."

Joey climbed onto Rachel’s lap and nestled in her arms.

"I saw Mr.Jimenez in the kitchen.Mommy, is he going to have dinner with us tonight?"

"Yes, he is."

Rachel smoothed the hair on Joey’s forehead and apologized.

"I’m sorry, Joey.I was going to cook for you today, but something came up."

"It doesn’t matter."

Before Rachel could continue, Joey interrupted her.

"I have many chances to eat food cooked by you.Since I can’t eat it this time, you can just cook for me next time."

"Then I promise you I will come back early tomorrow and cook for you, okay?"

Joey wrapped his arms around Rachel’s neck and nodded.He rested his chin on her shoulder and looked at the rain outside the French windows.His big eyes blinked, and his lips were pursed.His

cheeks puffed slightly, as he was a little dazed.

"Mommy," Joey called Rachel softly.

"Hmm?"

Joey hesitated for a while as he looked for the words to say what he had in mind.

Roger came out of the kitchen just then and walked into the living room.

When he saw Rachel and Joey embracing each other, he smiled.

"Rachel, Joey, dinner’s ready."

Joey let go of Rachel and turned to Roger.

"Mr.Jimenez, what did you cook?"

"I was afraid that you might be too hungry, so I just cooked noodles.They are easy to make."

Roger stepped forward toward mother and son.

"I’ll take you and your mommy out for dinner next time if it’s not raining."

"Hmm…"

Joey stopped hugging Rachel and beamed.

"Okay."

Roger touched Joey’s head gently.

In the dining room, Lila had already put the noodles on the table and said, "Joey, Miss Bennet, Mr.Jimenez, come and eat.The noodles won’t taste good if they get soggy."

Rachel also stood up to follow them.

"Let’s go to eat."

Roger stared at Rachel for a while before he noticed the red mark on her wrist.

Although the mark was very light, her skin was pale.It was so conspicuous that he caught it at first glance.

"Rachel, your wrist…"

Rachel was stunned for a moment.

She looked down at her wrist and immediately realized what had made the red mark appear.She covered her wrist with the other hand and smiled nervously.

But before she could say anything, Roger stopped her.

"By the way, has Mr.Sullivan taken the medicine?"
