Chapter 269 After Guarding for a Night
Damon frowned and glanced coldly at the woman. He suddenly stood up, glanced at Su Yicheng, and said in a cold voice, “You’re so fun. I’ll go first!”
With that, he strode out of the room, and Ben hurriedly followed.
The woman was scolded, and her eyes immediately turned red. She looked at Su Yucheng with a wronged expression. “Young Master Su, I really didn’t do it on purpose…”
“This is not your fault,” Su Yucheng said disapprovingly, his lips curving into a smile.
He had already thought that something like this might happen, but he had never really thought of letting Damon accept the woman here. He was just testing her out. In this way, he probably knew what he really cared about.
At the same time, Damon strode into the elevator, his face frighteningly dark.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
From the moment the woman sat down next to him, his disgust value had risen, and the smell on her body made him very uncomfortable!
He still remembered that Adele rarely used perfume. She never had that pungent smell on her, and it was all a faint milk fragrance…
Suddenly, Damon frowned, and his thin lips instantly pursed into a cold line.
Why did he suddenly think of Adele? Why did he subconsciously compare that woman with her?
Why?
Could it be that, as Su Yucheng said, he was tempted?
Damon’s mood suddenly sank. This thought circled in his mind. He knew that he got in the car, but he did not understand.
Ben started the car and asked, “Mr. Yusuf, are you going back to the villa now?”
“Yes.”
The car started. Damon closed his eyes and tried to empty himself, but Adele’s face flashed back and forth in his mind. He became even more agitated.
Could it be that the woman had cast a curse on him?
The more Damon thought about it, the angrier she became. She opened her eyes and told Ben, “Turn around and go to the small apartment first.”
He was going to find her and ask her clearly!
Soon, the car turned around and went straight to the small apartment.
When he arrived at the apartment, Damon raised his hand and knocked on the door. There was still a bit of anger in his heart that had yet to dissipate.
However, after knocking several times, no one came to open the door. Immediately, Damon became even angrier.
“Could it be that Adele has not returned at this time? Then where did she go? Could she be with Owen?”
The more Damon thought about it, the angrier he became. No one answered when he pressed the doorbell. He directly took out his wallet and found a key from the interlayer.
He was the landlord. Naturally, he had the key to this house. Back then, he had asked the agent to give Adele two keys. He had also specially left one for the sake of making sure that he was safe.
Opening the door, Damon pushed open the door and entered. The room was very dark, except for the wall lamp near the bedroom. He frowned and swept his gaze over the bag and key on the cabinet at the Mysterious Gate. He was a little surprised.
It seemed that Adele was at home, but why did she not open the door? Did she do it on purpose?
Damon closed the door, walked to the bedroom, and pushed the door open. It was also very dark inside, and he only looked at the bedside lamp.
Vaguely, he could see the bulge on the bed. He walked forward and saw that Adele’s body was curled up into a small ball. The quilt was tightly wrapped and her forehead was covered with gauze.
Her posture was like a fetus, curled up into a ball, completely defensive. It was a little heartbreaking to look at.
Damon sensitively noticed something.
Adele’s condition doesn’t seem to be right…
Even if she fell asleep, she should be able to hear the knock on the door just now.
He slowly reached out his hand and gently placed the back of his hand on her forehead.
Hot! Very hot!
Damon instantly frowned and his expression became a little ugly.
Was Adele having a fever or a high fever?
He did not dare to delay. He immediately turned around and walked out of the room. He searched around the living room and finally found the medicine box.
He found the thermometer from inside and immediately returned to the bedroom to check Adele’s temperature.
Thirty-eight degrees five!
Damon frowned and immediately took out the fever medicine from the medicine box. He poured another glass of water and returned to the bedroom. He called Adele softly, “Adele, wake up! Take the medicine!”.
The woman was in a daze from the fever. After being called for a long time, she frowned and moved, but she did not wake up.
Damon had no choice but to sit on the edge of the bed and slowly help her up. He leaned in his arms and fed her two fever pills.
After doing all this, he was still worried. He wet the towel with cold water and cooled Adele physically.
After a while, half an hour had passed, and his body temperature had dropped a little.
Damon stood by the bed and looked at the woman who was sleeping peacefully on the bed. He suddenly thought of what Owen had said to him today in front of Jin Yu Liang Yuan.
“You didn’t protect her when she was injured!”
She is just your ex-wife. She can’t compare with your future father-in-law, right? Mr. Yusuf?
“…”
This sentence floated back and forth in his mind. He pressed his temples with a headache and was inexplicably agitated.
He had never abandoned Adele. She was also the one who suggested the divorce…
And the engagement between him and Clara… was a promise he owed her.
Sighing, Damon took a deep look at the woman on the bed and turned to leave. However, the woman seemed to have a telepathic connection. She frowned and hummed. She moved uneasily.
He turned around and saw that she was sweating a little. Suddenly, he could not move.
Forget it, he would accompany her for the night. He would leave after the fever had completely subsided.
He raised his hand and sent a text message to Ben. He told him to go back first and pick him up tomorrow morning. Then, he walked to the single sofa next to him and sat down. He closed his eyes and took a nap.
After a night, the sky was gray and bright. Adele turned over and opened her eyes.
Yesterday, she was not feeling well. Her head was dizzy and it was very uncomfortable. She went to bed very early. She did not expect to wake up so early. Her body was much more comfortable than yesterday.
She slowly sat up. A picture suddenly flashed through her mind. Last night, when she was feeling very uncomfortable, someone seemed to be taking care of her. The picture was very vague, like a dream, but also like reality.
She inadvertently turned her head and saw a glass of water on the bedside table. There was also a antipyretics beside it. Suddenly, she woke up a little.
Was that not a dream? Was someone really coming?
Adele reached out and picked up the glass of water. She was shocked again.
It was warm water, and the liquid passed through the glass with a bit of warmth.
It seemed that the man had just left not long ago.
She could almost guess who it was. There was no other person besides Damon who could enter and exit her small apartment without anyone knowing.
But why did he suddenly come over last night? And when she was smashed by Ye Fengpeng with a cup, he clearly had no intention of standing on her side, but why did he take care of her for an entire night when she was having a fever?
Adele could not figure it out. She glanced at the clock on the wall and then got up to wash up.
No matter what happened to Damon, it was time for her to go to work. This was an unchangeable matter.
As for what happened last night, if Damon did not mention it, she would not mention it.
After packing up everything, before leaving, Adele looked at the mirror and saw some obvious gauze on her forehead. She could not help but sigh.
She deliberately adjusted her bangs and tried her best to cover up the gauze before leaving the door.
When she arrived at the company, Assistant Liu ran over to ask her about her well-being. Adele chatted with her for a while and heard footsteps. When she looked up, she saw Damon walking over with Ben.
He was in good spirits, and his well-defined suit made him stand tall and straight. He did not look like he had been guarding for a night.
