Chapter 26 The Artificial Heater

Chapter 26 The Artificial Heater

"Towel!"

Bennett ordered Wendy with Adam's apple rolling in his throat.

Wendy quickly handed over a long bath towel, and Bennett wrapped it around Catalina's body swiftly.

Then, he carried her and headed to the bed immediately.

"Get into the quilt."

Bennett grabbed the quilt that was spread out on the bed and wanted to stuff Catalina into it.

But Catalina was still hugging him tightly and refused to let go. Her cold body couldn't stop squeezing

into his arms as if that was the only place that could keep her warm.

Bennett was at the age at which he would easily drive by his desires. How could he withstand her

holding him like that?

After a short while, he felt like his whole body was ignited by fire.

"Catalina, be good!"

He commanded her in a deep voice.

His big hand roughly grabbed her two small hands, which were wrapped around his neck. Then, he

ignored her resistance and forced her to get into the quilt.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he feel relaxed and his blood which had frozen started to flow again.

However, Catalina, who was in the quilt was not feeling well at all. Her huddled body was shaking

uncontrollably. She looked pitiful and helpless.

She was feeling so unwell that she was crying like an abused kid.

A voice kept admonishing Bennett in his heart, "Don't worry about her. Just let her be! It's her fault. She

asks for it and she deserves it!"

In the next second...

He lifted the quilt and slipped himself into it uncontrollably.

Then, he brought Catalina, who was shivering into his arms gently.

As soon as Catalina felt the temperature of his body, her whole body seemed to be attracted by

magnetic force, and she couldn't wait to burrow into his warm embrace.

Bennett was speechless.

He thought to himself, "Does this girl know what is she doing?"

"Does she know what kind of risk she is putting herself into with this kind of behavior?"

"And what about me?"

"What am I doing?"

"I let this woman use me as an artificial heater. The woman who treated my gift as garbage this

afternoon and gave it to someone else!"

Bennett's breath was getting chaotic and warm gradually.

In his arms, the soft touch from her deeply stimulated all his sensory nerves.

He was leaning against the head of the bed, letting Catalina lie on his chest, and he didn't dare to

move.

"This damn woman!"

Wendy was standing by the side of the bed without saying a word.

The scene in front of her was too...

She turned around in a hurry, covered her eyes, and didn't dare to take another look. Her face was

blushing.

Then, she heard Bennett's deep and hoarse voice instruct her from the back, "Ask Dr. Hood to come in,

and the rest stay outside. They aren't allowed to step in."

"Yes!"

Wendy took his order and went to call the doctor right away.

Ryker entered the door with his medicine case.

When he saw the intimate scene on the bed, he blushed and coughed dryly in embarrassment, "Mr.

Shaffer."

"Examine her now!"

Bennett used an impatient tone to cover up his awkwardness.

His face blushed all the way to his ears.

"Yes."

Ryker took his order. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Bennett grabbed Catalina's hand out of the quilt so that Ryker could check her pulse.

The other hand of Bennett was tightly wrapping the quilts on the two of them.

He was worried that Catalina's body which was in his arms would be revealed.

After Ryker checked Catalina's pulse, he took her body temperature.

"How is she?"

Bennett asked.

"Mrs. Shaffer is weak and couldn't bear the cold weather. She got better in the past two days but

caught a cold again. I'm afraid this time she will need a longer time to recover."

"That wasn't what you said the other day."

Bennett frowned.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shaffer. I'm incompetent. Please punish me."

"Prescribe medicine."

Bennett was not in the mood to deal with him at that moment.

"Yes."

Ryker hurriedly brought out the medicine case and prepared a new prescription for Catalina. Then, he

ordered Wendy, "Go and get a glass of warm water. Mrs. Shaffer must take this medicine tonight."

"Yes."

Wendy acted right away accordingly and went to get a glass of warm water.

She probed, "Mr. Shaffer, would you like me to feed the medicine to Mrs. Shaffer?"

"No."

Bennett refused lightly and said, "You all can leave now. I will call you if I need you."

"Yes!"

Wendy and Ryker looked at each other quietly and got what Bennett was trying to say.

After they left, there was only Bennett and Cataline, who was in his arms were left in that huge room.

At first, Catalina was still trembling because of the coldness, but as the temperature in Bennett's chest

continued to rise, she finally got better.

She lay on his chest peacefully like a baby in a swaddle. She fell into a deep sleep.

She didn't know what was going on.

She slept comfortably. But what about Bennett?

In his arms, he could feel that she was very soft, like cotton candy. She was snuggled in Bennett's

chest which made him awkward and held up his body stiffly.

The fresh and rich milky fragrance on her body seemed to linger around Bennett's nose making him

feel like that was a kind of physical and mental torture with every single breath he took.

At that moment, he couldn't help but recall the night when they were cuddling...

Memories filled his mind like a tide.

His mouth felt parched.

He thought that he must be out of his mind to let that girl use him as an artificial heater!

It took a lot of effort for Bennett to adjust his breath slightly. He lowered his head and look at the girl in

his arms.

In his deep amber eyes, his pupils dilated and he said, "Hello."

He was calling her.

His voice was low.

Catalina, who was in his arms didn't respond.

"Catalina."

Bennett called her again.

He shrugged his shoulders slightly, "Get up and take your medicine."

The girl who was lying on his chest moved a little when he shook his shoulders, but there was no

further response from her.

If Bennett hadn't heard her breathing, he would think that the girl had passed out.

Bennett had no choice but to give up.

He gave up the idea of waking her up. He stretched out his arm from the quilt, took the antipyretic pills

on the bedside, and held Catalina in his arms with the other arm. He sat up halfway and asked, "Can

you swallow the medicine by yourself?"

Catalina, who was lying on his chest responded to him with a frown.

The frown seemed to be a sign of unhappiness.

"So, you aren't happy with it?"

Bennett couldn't help but rubbed Catalina's forehead with his bearded chin as revenge and said, "I

didn't get married to you so that you can torture me! Catalina, you better wake up now."

Bennett's voice was completely hoarse.

Catalina, who was sleeping soundly ignored him conveniently.

Without getting Catalina's response, Bennett was a little embarrassed and finally lost his patience.

"I don't care."

Bennett forcibly pried her mouth open with his fingers and stuffed the three pills into her mouth.

"Swallow it," he ordered.

Unexpectedly, Catalina spitted the pill out resistantly.

Bennett was speechless.

He felt that his patience was bottoming out bit by bit.
