Perfect CEO

Chapter 17

Without Patrick knowing it, it was getting more and more difficult for Gwendolyn to breathe. As for her face, it was even hotter than before. It was so uncomfortable for her that she couldn't help but grunt softly.

She then used her hand to give Patrick a nudge. With that, he suddenly came back to his senses. He instantly got up and tucked her in.

At that moment, he was panting heavily. He then shut his eyes to try to calm himself down.

When he opened his eyes again, all of his emotions had receded. However, his perspective of the woman before his eyes had changed.

Now that Patrick had fed her fever medicine, he rubbed her forehead, palms, and feet with alcohol wipes.

He held her feet in his palm and rubbed the bottom of her feet with alcohol. What a pair of fair feet she has! Even her toes are pretty.

After he rubbed her feet twice, the medicine was starting to take effect.

In fact, her body temperature was a lot lower than before. He took the thermometer and called out to her, “I'm going to take your temperature, Gwendolyn.”

He was just going to go ahead with whatever he wanted to do with her because Gwendolyn was still in a daze. After placing the thermometer under her armpit, he couldn't help but get attracted by her extremely fair skin. Her pearly white skin seemed smooth and soft.

Patrick felt as if he was losing his mind at that instant. He couldn't believe that he was taking care of a woman he barely knew. I must've lost control of myself just now because she resembles the woman in my dream. Yes, that must be why.

After waiting for five minutes, he took a reading from the thermometer. Evidently, her fever was starting to subside because she had a temperature of around ninety-eight degrees Fahrenheit.

The medicine is good! Patrick could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He then sat by the bed and watched her sleep soundly.

Suddenly, he remembered what she said the night before. She was pregnant at the age of eighteen. She didn't even attend university, and she needs to raise her kids. Where is the kids' father, then? Why did he leave her to shoulder the burden all by herself?

Right then, his phone rang. Liam was giving him a call.

Patrick answered the call and asked, “What is it?”

“Mr. Lowen, it's lunchtime. I've got you some food. Do you want me to send it over to you now?”

Patrick didn't even realize that it was noon already. It's so difficult taking care of a sick person.

“Yes. Buy some oatmeal porridge as well.”

With that, he hung up the phone and tucked her in once again.
