"My chest." Ethan lowered his gaze. There were a few beads of sweat on his nose, making him look more vulnerable.

Grace gritted her teeth and put her hand on his chest. His body temperature was abnormally high and even higher in places with red rashes. Her fingertips trembled from the heat.

Ethan's hand suddenly covered the back of Grace's. Her fingertips curled up as she wiped the inappropriate thoughts from her mind.

Ethan's gaze was fixed on her face. Seeing that she wasn't looking back at him and seemed uncomfortable, the corner of his lips curled up for a moment. "Okay."

He moved his hand away, letting Grace's fingertips softly scratch his skin. She asked after a few scratches, "Are you feeling better now?"
