James stared at Kara’s bright face with a frown and sat up.
“Hey, if you are not feeling well, just lie down.”
Blue veins popped up on James’ forehead because of pain, and Kara quickly held him down in distress.
“Come onto the bed.”
James’ stomach hurt so much that his whole body spasmed, but he wanted to get closer to Kara.
James knew that what he said when he lost consciousness hurt Kara. He thought that she would be angry for some time.
Kara bit her lips. James was sick, would he still do something to her?
She was still angry now and did not want to be so close to him.
“What are you thinking about?”
Seeing her puzzled expression, James was so angry that he laughed.
Even if he wanted to make out with her now, he couldn’t because he didn’t have enough strength.
At this time, Kara was finally sure that James did not mean that. Since he refused to listen to her and insisted on moving around, she had no choice but to lift the quilt and sit on the bed. Anyway, she didn’t want him to be hurt again after moving.
James took her into his arms with his long arms and rested his chin on her head. He could smell the faint bitter smell of medicine on her body.
His empty heart was filled up at this moment.
“Kara, thank you for forgiving me. Things like that will never happen again.”
“Okay, then you haven’t said anything sweet yet.”
Kara wrinkled her nose when she found that James was covered in the smell of medicine. She preferred the refreshing mint fragrance on him.
James hugged her tightly. The corners of his lips curved slightly as he lowered his head and kissed the tip of her ear.
“Kara, I love you.”
Kara didn’t respond.
The tips of Kara’s ears were red, and the red spread to her neck. The corners of her mouth raised and she narrowed her eyes happily.
James thought that it was impossible for him to say such emotional things in his life, but he wanted to tell her since his feelings were so strong now.
He loved her. How could he bear to make her sad?
Why would he say such unreasonable words?
However, when he saw her foolishly leaning into his arms without a single response, he swallowed his saliva and felt disappointed.
“Kara, there are still a hundred steps between like and love. You just stand in place and wait for me to walk over, okay?”
His voice was low, hoarse, and weak.
He even seemed humble.
Not only did her ears get a bit itchy, but her heart was also itching.
At first, there was still a bit of a grudge in Kara’s heart, but after hearing James’ words, all of her doubts were driven away.
She opened her arms and hugged him, shamelessly rubbing her head against his chest, sweetly retorting.
“James, you’re bullying me.”
James frowned. Didn’t she want to hear what he said?
“Kara, I haven’t been in a serious relationship. I don’t know how to say sweet words. I’ll learn a little by little in the future.”
Kara didn’t want him to learn. She asked him to say something sweet, then he said the sweetest things ever. If he went to learn further, she would be addicted to his sweet words!
“James, your legs are longer than mine but don’t try to stop me from walking to you, okay? Then what’s the use of my feet?”
Hearing her words, James had his eyes light up. He loosened his arms, held her jaw with his hand, and let her raise her head to look at him.
“Kara, what do you want to say?”
Kara was also quite straightforward. He had stated his attitude towards her, and she would not hide her feelings for him.
“Let’s be fair. If you take fifty steps, I will take fifty steps too. You can’t go back on your word.”
James was too excited to say anything.
He was overjoyed and lowered his head to kiss Kara’s lips.
James tried his best to restrain himself, but his kiss was still so overbearing that Kara couldn’t take it for a while. After a while, she raised her arm and wrapped it around his neck, kissing back.
Kara almost couldn’t breathe because of the kiss, so she pushed his shoulder. Only then did James slowly let go of her.
When James saw how red Kara’s lips were after kissing, he reluctantly licked the corner of her lips to comfort her silently.
Kara took a deep breath and suddenly laughed. Her sweet laughter made James feel relaxed.
“What are you laughing at?”
“You are like a puppy when you licked my lips.”
It was good that he loved her and he didn’t hate her!
She was so happy that she wanted to dance.
James was speechless.
The corner of his mouth twitched and he bit her lower lip.
Kara covered her lips and glared at James angrily.
“James, you are a puppy.”
“Okay, then you are also a puppy since you married me.”
Kara threw herself on him and also wanted to bite him.
James dodged, and she failed to touch his lips, so she took her hand and bit it.
James let out a low cry of pain.
Kara immediately let go of James, wiped her saliva with her sleeve, and then held his hand, wanting to hide the wound she bit out.
James was both angry and amused. He glanced at her from the side.
His little fool. As soon as he appeared to be irritated, she was terrified.
Someone coughed at the door.
Nolan saw them playing after opening the door, so he coughed to remind them.
Nolan sighed in his heart. In less than half an hour after he left, Kara and James not only reconciled, but also began to make out on the bed.
It seemed that Will was right. Mental illness should be treated mentally.
Hearing Nolan’s voice, Kara blushed and quickly got out of bed.
Nolan was speechless.
He walked into the ward and put down the hot soup. Seeing Kara pretend that nothing had happened, the corners of his mouth twitched.
In fact, there was no need for Kara to do this. He was used to Kara and James being intimate.
He was happy to see the two of them close.
“James, I’ll feed you some porridge.”
When Nolan went out, Kara patted her hot cheek and went to bring the porridge over, ready to feed it to him.
James stared at the spoon in her hand and licked his teeth. He was not sure if he would spit it out, but he could not bear to refuse her.
Kara tested the temperature of the porridge, which was suitable, and then fed it to James.
“James, don’t think too much when you eat. Just treat it as drinking water.” She smiled and persuaded James.
James glanced at her and opened his mouth to eat.
Kara observed his expression and made sure that he had no bad reaction before she continued to feed.
Suddenly, James frowned. Kara quickly put down the bowl and brought the trash can over. James bent over by the bed and spat out all the porridge he had just eaten.
Kara panicked and quickly went to prepare him a glass of water. Unexpectedly, the water was too hot and her hand was scalded by the glass.
Kara cried out in pain.
Then she instinctively let go of her hand. The hot water spilled on the table and the glass smashed to the ground, turning into pieces.
James quickly got out of bed and ran to her. Seeing her red fingers, he pulled her to the bathroom to pour cold water on her wound.
“It’s just a small burn. It’s fine.”
Kara saw his tense face and explained in a low voice.
Kara was annoyed in her heart and felt that she was so useless that she even burnt her hands with a glass of water. She was like a cripple.
“Are you feeling better?”
James dried her fingers with the towel. After making sure that she was not injured, his expression eased a little.
“James, I think I’m useless in daily life.”
She lowered her head and felt lost.
It was said that a couple should be well-matched in a relationship. They should have similar backgrounds and abilities.
Kara knew that her background was far worse than his, not to mention being well-matched with him. Yes, he liked her now. But she was so useless. Would he still like her after years? Would he get tired of her?
“Yes, I know.”
The expression on his handsome face was very calm and his tone was serious. He didn’t seem to be joking at all.
Kara was speechless.
Kara looked up at him and felt even more guilty.
“The woman I want is not a housekeeper. You only need to take care of yourself.”
Seeing that she was thinking nonsense again, James looked at her forehead and said to her.
Kara felt warm and rubbed her head on his chest. “James, don’t spoil me like this. I said I would raise you. I will definitely work hard to take care of you.”
“Okay.”
If she would be happy, then he would say “okay”. But James really didn’t need her to take care of him.
“Okay, James, then drink some soup. Libby’s cooking skills are getting better and better recently. I will drink with you.” She eagerly opened the thermos cup.
James frowned. He was worried that he would vomit again.
