Chapter 20 She was in a fever, And He Was Upset
Just after she dialed a number, there was a knock on the apartment door. The person knocking on the door seemed a little anxious and knocked more than ten times in a row. Yulia impatiently opened the door, and when she saw the person standing outside, she was stunned instantly.
The man standing at the door was wearing a hand-tailored suit, with a perfect golden ratio body like a model, a face as cold as a knife, and a chill between his eyebrows.
Yulia's parents were in politics and business, so she was naturally influenced, so she immediately recognized who the man was. In the past year, the most authoritative magazines or financial newspapers in the business world have almost all appeared in the figure of this man.
He is Ethan White, mentioned by Lilly, the top leader of the legendary Wanying Group, which is famous both at his country and worldwide, and a legendary figure whose every move can affect the lifeline of the global economy.
Although Yulia is not as weak as an ordinary woman, when facing this man, she is still suffocated by the invisible courage he shows.
He rushed into the room without waiting for her to speak. He saw Lilly lying on the bed and immediately walked over. His hand touched Lilly's forehead, and his palm trembled due to the ridiculously high heat. His eyebrows were immediately furrowed.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier when she was so feverish?!" he suddenly turned around and yelled at Yulia.
Yulia was startled and finally reacted. She rushed over and lifted Lilly's left arm, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. Help me carry her downstairs to the infirmary. I can't lift her by myself. It will be troublesome if it's too late."
Ethan pursed his lips, took out a bunch of car keys from his pocket, threw them to the edge of the bed, and asked coldly, "Can you drive?"
Yulia understood what he meant and simply took his car keys and answered, "Yes."
As soon as Yulia finished speaking, he immediately pushed her hand away, then bent down and held Lilly, who was unconscious on the bed, horizontally in his arms.
"Go to the hospital," Ethan said like an order, raised his arm, hugged Lilly tightly, and walked out of the room quickly.
Yulia was not annoyed by his commanding tone. Her most cherished friend was in danger, and Lilly's safety was the most important thing at the moment, so she didn't say anything more, hurriedly closed the door, and chased downstairs.
When they got downstairs, she quickly unlocked the car and helped open the door of the back seat.
Ethan bent over, hugged Lilly, and sat in.
After getting in the car, he adjusted Lilly's position so that her head could rest more comfortably in his arms, then brushed away the long hair covering her cheeks, and held her tightly in his arms, as if he was holding the most delicate figure in the world.
"Lilly, don't sleep, wake up, talk to me, please, look who I am, Lilly..." The low voice trembled faintly, his cold lips were separated by Lilly's soft bangs, close to her forehead that continued to heat up, and he kept calling her name.
Yulia was sitting in the driver's seat. When she heard the voice coming from behind, she looked up at the rearview mirror. The man in the mirror changed his initial indifference, and his face was more panicked, and there was unbelievable fear.
Yulia's expression gradually became complicated, and she was full of doubts. Why did he look so nervous about Lilly?
Could it be that Lilly was confused and had been thinking wrongly, and he actually had feelings for her?
Yulia frowned, and then she remembered that Lilly had told her that a year ago, Lilly had seen him and his adopted daughter promise each other for life.
No, no.
Yulia was confused by the realistic expression of the person in the mirror. She always felt that there was something she had missed, maybe... even Lilly had missed it.
Lilly was half asleep, and suddenly she seemed to hear a voice calling her name. She would never forget that voice, which was the voice she had been most obsessed with, and she was still deeply obsessed with it now.
It was him, Ethan White.
The voice was very close to her, so close that it seemed to be right next to her ear. Why did he call her? What did he want to say?
Lilly was full of questions, and she opened her mouth to ask clearly, but she couldn't make a sound. Gradually, the voice became smaller, weaker, and farther away, as if it was about to slip away from her ears.
Lilly was anxious in an instant; she wanted to know what he said, she wanted to see him, and she wanted to see him.
He stared blankly at the girl who suddenly opened her eyes in his arms. Before he could be happy, Lilly raised her hand with difficulty and grabbed his arm.
"Ethan..." She found that her throat was hot and dry, as if it were burned by a ball of fire. She could only utter those two words intermittently with all her strength, and she could not speak anymore.
"It's me." He tried his best to maintain an unstable voice, and the arm holding Lilly tightened unconsciously.
Lilly stared at him, feeling like she was dreaming. How could she be so close, so close that she could even see the pores on her face clearly?
And, God! What is he doing now!
He was patting her back with one hand and rubbing her temple with the other hand to relieve the soreness caused by the fever.
This was taught by her. When he was in office, he had a high fever due to excessive fatigue. At that time, it was the girl in his arms who dragged him out of the office and took him to the hospital.
On the way to the hospital, she even ignored his cold face and insisted on massaging his uncomfortable head and shoulders, while telling him in a serious tone, like a teacher teaching a student, that he was not allowed to refuse, and that it would be good for him.
"Are you feeling better?" Ethan lowered his voice, as if he were afraid of disturbing her.
Comfortable.
Lilly answered him in a daze in her heart. It was more than comfortable. She was simply... so happy that she was about to die.
Is she dreaming? Definitely dreaming!
She had never had such a beautiful dream. In her previous dreams, Ethan was still the poisonous iceberg king, always rude to her.
