Chapter: 1254

Victor had woken up.

Rachel's heart sank at the realization. She immediately stood up and distanced herself from him, unconsciously clenching her fist on the edge of the bed. The images of her kissing Victor just now flashed through her mind.

No, that was not a kiss.

She quickly reined in her thoughts. She had no choice but to do so because Victor couldn't take the medicine on his own. Even if it had been someone else, then she wouldn't have hesitated to do the same.

Rachel hurried to explain herself.

“Don't misunderstand. That was antipyretic. You couldn't take it while you were unconscious, but your fever wasn't going down, so I had no choice..."

Rachel paused.

That only made things seem worse than they really were.

Rachel closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Now that you are awake, drink that glass of warm water before you go back to sleep.

Carson's car broke down and he can't come to pick you up. When the rain stops, Roger will..."

As she spoke, Rachel couldn't help but sense that something was wrong.

Victor said nothing. He didn't even react to anything she said, and he just stared at her blankly. He didn't look sober.

Rachel frowned as she leaned in.

"Victor?"

He didn't respond.

Rachel reached out her hand and waved it in front of Victor's face, but nothing changed. Rachel pressed her lips. She was almost sure that Victor was still unconscious.

But if Victor hadn't woken up, how could he have opened his eyes?

While Rachel was still lost in thought, her wrist was suddenly grabbed and she was pulled forward. She fell into Victor's arms, and he held her there.

Rachel opened her mouth to shout at him. But before she could finish her words, he turned her over and imprisoned her under his body.

He then lowered his head and kissed her.

Rachel's eyes widened at the escalation of things. She wanted to push him away, but he clasped her hand above her head while the other was squeezed between them. She couldn't break free even if she tried.

Although Victor's whole body was burning with fever, his lips were cool on hers.

He didn't push it. He just kissed Rachel gently, as if she was going to break if he used too much force. Rachel's heartbeat became faster.

Gradually, all the sounds around her were drowned out, and she could only hear her heartbeat.
