Maurice leaned over Eliana as soon as he finished speaking. Their close proximity and sudden mood shift left her breathless.

“Uh, what are you doing?” Eliana struggled to move away in caution.

Maurice squinted his eyes and seductively unbuttoned his shirt with his slender fingers. In a few seconds, his broad chest was exposed.

Seeing the hickey on his neck, Eliana froze in fear. There was a dangerous look on Maurice’s handsome face. It seemed that he was about to pounce on his prey, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Dirty thoughts began to fill Eliana’s mind. She wondered if Maurice was going to have sex with her at this moment.

Stepping back instinctively, Eliana started shivering uncontrollably.

‘How could Maurice be so horny? I’m not feeling well and have a high fever. Does he still want to have sex with me in my condition? I don’t understand. I obeyed him and took the medicine. What else does he want me to do?’

Feeling trapped and confused, Eliana sniffed as tears streamed down her sad face.

The sight of Eliana weeping made Maurice stop dead in his tracks. His cold heart suddenly melted.

He had been merciful to her a couple of times recently, and today he decided once again to take it easy on the poor girl.

With a barely audible sigh, Maurice straightened himself up and took the millet congee from the bedside table. Wearing a blank expression, he handed it to Eliana.

“Are you still afraid of me now? Eat it, or I will have sex with you. I mean it.”

Eliana was really frightened this time. She hurriedly took the soup, picked up the spoon, and took a sip.

The presence of warm food in her stomach gradually relieved the discomfort caused by her hunger and high fever.
