James kissed Kara’s pink lips comfortingly and held her in his arms. Her panicked heartbeat gradually calmed down.
Soon, Nolan and John got into the car.
“Let’s go to the hospital first.”
Nolan nodded. “Yes.”
“James, why are we going to the hospital again? I’m hungry. I want to go back to the villa to eat noodles.”
Upon hearing that they were going to the hospital, Kara was not very willing.
James frowned and touched her forehead. The temperature was normal.
Knowing that she was frightened, he did not make things difficult for her.
“Alright, whatever you want.”
“Hehe, you’re the best.”
Hearing him compromise, Kara was a little surprised. She was relieved that they were not going to the hospital.
She raised her head and kissed his cheek, leaning into his embrace.
Nolan and John, who were driving, also breathed a sigh of relief. Before finding Kara, James looked sullen. They were nervous to see that.
Back in the villa, James first carried her to take a hot bath before taking her downstairs to eat noodles.
He was not in the mood to work at night, so he put a coat on her and took her out for a walk.
The two walked past the street lamps, their hands always held together, and their overlapping shadows were elongated.
“James, I have something to tell you.”
Hearing the serious tone of Kara and seeing the stiff face, James glanced at her with his dark brown eyes.
“I won’t listen.”
“Hey, you.”
She did not expect him to reject her so unreasonably. Kara puffed up her cheeks, stopped, and shook his arm.
“Mr. James, darling, listen to me. This is a very important matter. If you don’t listen, you will definitely lose such a cute me.”
James was having a headache from her shaking. When Kara was acting cute, he couldn’t do anything to resist her.
“Then tell me.”
She chuckled and opened her arms to him.
What she hinted was obvious. It was that she would tell him when he hugged her.
James raised his eyebrows. This was also what he was used to. With a stretch of his long arm, he picked her up and the two of them sat on the wooden chair next to them.
“James, Corey said that you forced me to get the marriage certificate with you. It is not like that.”
“Huh?”
“If you like me, how can you lie to me and get the marriage certificate without proposing to me?
“However, I am willing now. I am willing to be with you for the rest of my life now.”
James stared at her in surprise, his brown eyes shining brightly.
“Kara, you mean, you are willing to marry me?”
His handsome face was brightened under the bright light, and she was a little shy.
“I told you I will take a step forward when you do. I am taking the step right now.”
He would be tired if he was the only one that worked on the relationship.
She could not bear to see him suffer, so she had to work hard to walk to his side.
James smiled brightly. The corners of his mouth raised, and his handsome face shone. It was even more beautiful than the flower that bloomed in the night.
He picked her up excitedly and turned around, feeling a little unreal.
“Kara, give me a kiss.”
Kara lowered his head and gave him a peck on his thin lips. He smiled with a bit of stupidity.
“James, no matter what happens in the future, you can’t let go of me, okay?”
She was afraid that he would leave her.
“Little fool, you still think that I will let you go?”
James put her down and pinched her little nose as punishment.
“Ouch, it hurts.”
She covered her nose, her face full of pain.
James frowned. He hadn’t used any strength just now.
“Does it hurt?”
“Yeah. Help me blow it, so it won’t hurt anymore.” She looked at him in a delicate manner.
He knew that she was acting like a spoiled child.
James really blew on it and pecked her lips again. He was in a good mood.
He took a step forward and crouched down in front of her.
“Let’s go back.”
“Yes.”
Kara happily jumped onto his back and smiled mischievously.
“James, if only I had met you earlier.”
“Huh?”
James carried her and turned to go home.
“If I had met you earlier, I wouldn’t have been beaten and my condition wouldn’t have worsened. I would definitely be more and more healthy.”
There would not be any mutated virus when she was healthy by his side.
“…”
James’s gaze was complicated. He didn’t know what Corey had said to her today that made her say something so emotional.
“Little fool, what are you thinking about?”
“No, I’m just sighing. I’m an artist. It’s normal to have a few words of exclamation.”
Kara did not dare to say much, and her arm tightened, as if she could draw heat from him to dispel the coolness of the night.
Corey said that she had mutated virus in her body, so was there a way to treat it?
Could it be that she couldn’t escape the misfortune of lying on the hospital bed and struggling to survive?
Back at the villa, when James went to take a shower, she secretly ran to his study.
She remembered that he had collected all of Vivian’s information into a drawer.
She opened the drawer and pulled out a stack of documents to check Vivian’s family background, but the column was blank.
She looked down and found a box.
Opening the box, there were some small jewelry for women.
Among the pile of jewelry, she saw a valuable ring at first glance.
She pinched the ring and touched the inside of the ring, her little fingers trembling.
In a panic, she quickly put the ring back into the box and put the information away.
If Corey was not lying, Vivian was a member of the Abbot family and her mother’s sister, then she really had another relationship with James.
Heavens!
This had to be a nightmare she had!
Kara’s mind was in a mess. She left the study in a daze and walked to the balcony to get some cold wind for a while. Only then did her mind clear.
…
James took a shower and returned to his room. When he saw Kara get on the bed, he lifted the quilt and pulled her in front of him, grabbing her arm.
“James, I, I’m tired. You can’t mess around.”
Kara tightened her body, pitifully wanting to shake off his hand and keep a distance from him.
“Little fool, what are you thinking? Don’t move around.”
James took out his medicine box and wipe her injured wrist.
Only then did Kara realize that he was thinking too much. She covered her hot little face with one hand and did not dare to look at him.
After applying the medicine on her, James released her and tapped her forehead.
“Behave when you sleep.”
“Oh, I behave well. You were the one who wanted to hug me to sleep.” She retorted angrily.
“…”
James put away the medicine box and glanced at her.
In the past, she slept tight. But recently, she was rolling around in the middle of the night. If he didn’t hold her, she would definitely roll out of bed.
After lying down under the covers, he scooped her into his arms with his long arms.
“James, good night.”
She found a comfortable position and said with a smile.
“Okay, good night.”
James hugged her as the corners of his lips curled up.
…
The schedule for studying in university was much looser than that of high school, but it was not easy to achieve good results.
Kara was taking notes seriously, but the words that Corey and Vivian’s ring still appeared in her mind.
James and she were cousins.
If, she and James were really in that kind of relationship, what should she do?
