Chapter 145

---- Chapter 145 It was a little past 11:00 pm when Donovan, who was lying in his hospital bed, started running a high fever. His mind became even more muddled as he tossed and turned, drifting in and out of consciousness. Anne stayed by his side the entire time. When she noticed him mumbling in his sleep, worry crept into her chest, but she didn't call the doctor. Instead, she went to get him a glass of warm water.

"Do you want some water, Don?" she asked, leaning in and gently touching his cheek. When he felt her soft hand, Donovan opened his eyes and looked right at Anne's face. His gaze was dazed and unfocused as he gazed at her, unmoving, like he was caught in some kind of spell. "Don?" she called out, puzzled. Then, she tapped his cheek. To her surprise, he grasped her hand and squeezed it tightly. The lower half of Anne's face resembled Giselle's, as they both inherited Tony's features.

Hence, in his fevered , hazy state, Donovan mistook them for the same woman and stared at her blankly. "Don, you-" He had never held her hand so tightly before, so she was perplexed and pleasantly surprised. Anne couldn't help but grasp his other hand with hers. ---- All of a sudden, he yanked her toward him. She fell into his arms, and their eyes met. Before he could make a move, her heart raced as she kissed him passionately , ignoring the fact that he was running a high fever and burning up.

Donovan felt like his head was about to explode, and his body burned as though it was on fire. He couldn't pull away from her kiss. In his daze, he sensed something was off, but his head felt unbearably heavy, and his mind was muddled. Donovan felt like a lone vessel adrift in the ocean, without control over his path. He was left to the mercy of the waves, destined to end up ona deserted island on his own.

After his fever broke the next day, he opened his eyes and found Anne's face inches from his. "Don? You're awake!" Anne chirped bashfully. Donovan was caught off guard. For a moment, he didn't recognize his surroundings . Instinctively , he tried to get up, but he realized she was clinging to him. He was about to push her away, but he noticed she was completely naked. His brows drew together as he looked down at himself. He was only wearing his underwear.

Ina flash, he sat upright in bed and eyed her skeptically. " What the hell are you doing? Put some clothes on!" 1-" Anne covered herself with the hospital blanket, feeling both embarrassed and upset. "Do you not remember what you ---- did last night?" Donovan looked around and realized he was in a VIP hospital room. He had slept here all night. He then looked at the naked woman beside him and felt a pang in his chest.

"Did you sleep next to me last night?" "Do you really not remember a thing?" Tears welled up in her eyes as she said weakly, "Last night, you had a high fever and kept mumbling in your sleep. I was just trying to take care of you, but you grabbed my hand and pulled me into your bed. Then, you tried to do it with me... "And well, you are my fiance , so I didn't resist. I just... let it happen."
