With almost all his strength, Kerry Ye controlled his desire in the body. Kerry threw her rudely on the bed and rushed out of the room.
“Boom”! The huge sound came when the door was closed. Venus slightly opened her eyes and there was something complicated in them.
How could he...not touch her? With such a beauty in front of him, how could he bear not touching her!
Was he still the cruel Kerry that he used to be?
Venus lay on her back, staring at the light yellow ceiling in confusion. She was trying to figure out why Kerry was so different this time.
Should she be happy or should she be disappointed?
She wasn’t actually intending to sleep with him. She would stop him from taking the final step. But with him leaving like this, all her efforts went in vain.
...
In the following two days, Kerry would think of Yan Chu occasionally, but it’s just a thought.
“Mr Ye, here’s the guidance of the fun places and good restaurants in Sky City that you asked.” Secretary Liu handed her a few pieces of paper, on which detailed routs, attractions and names of the restaurants were marked.
Thinking it would be inappropriate to remain in touch with Yan Chu, Kerry said to secretary Liu, “Are you free this weekend?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Take a tour around Sky City with Miss Chu. Bring back the receipts.” Kerry gave her back the guidance.
“You are not going?” Liu was a bit surprised. Shouldn’t he be the one to accompany Miss Chu?
Kerry said indifferently, “I happen to have some private errands to run. You go with her.”
“Okay, I get it.”
After Liu left, Kerry thought for a while and decided to call Yan to explain, in order to seem polite.
He took out his phone and dialed Yan’s number.
It took long before the phone got through. “Hello? Who’s that?”
Kerry was surprised. Why did she sound so pale?
“Miss Chu, this is Kerry speaking.”
“Ah, Mr Ye. What’s the matter?” She coughed.
Kerry frowned and asked, “Are you sick?”
“I have a fever. I must have caught a cold the other night. Mr Ye, what’s the matter?”
Kerry touched his forehead. The other night? The night when she got drunk and he just took off like that? He did forget to put a blanket on her.
“I am calling to tell you that...the tour tomorrow...” Kerry was interrupted by Venus Mu.
“I am sorry, I might not be able to go tomorrow. I am not feeling well.”
“That’s okay. Is it serious? Do you need to see a doctor?” Kerry asked with concern.
She coughed fiercely then said, “I don’t want to see the doctor. I’ll be fine.”
“Where’s Mr Tang? Do you have someone to take care of you there?”
Venus sighed, “They all went back to Hong Kong to report their work. I am here by myself. Thanks for your concern. I’ll be alright.”
“Well then, take care of yourself.”
“Okay, bye.” Another cough.
Venus hung up the phone in coughs. Kerry put his phone on the table, thought for a while and continued to work.
She’s a grown up, she should know when to go to the hospital. He’s just a business partner. There’s no need for him to care so much.
After work, on his way home, Kerry passed by a hospital, which reminded him of Yan, wondering if she had got a bit better.
Venus opened her eyes and begged poorly, “Please don’t take me there. I am really afraid of hospitals.”
“We must go.” Kerry turned down her request, “Do we need to bring anything?”
“Nothing. Everything’s in my bag.”
Kerry grabbed the handbag in the corner of the couch, came over to hold her arms and frowned, “Your temperature is too high! You will suffer a lot if you don’t go to the hospital.”
Venus walked weakly and thanks to his help she didn’t fall down. She pretended to be confused and said, “I am healthy all the time. How did I get sick? So strange!”
Kerry said, “Did you forget that you drank that night?”
“I drank?” Venus thought for a while, “Oh, I remember! I got drunk that night! Did anything happen after that?”
“No.” Kerry said hurriedly. “You just caught a cold that night. Don’t think too much. You need to recover now.”
Venus answered “Yes” and laughed in her heart.
Kerry, what are you hiding from?
Henry Zhang saw Kerry come down with a woman and hurriedly came to open the door.
After doing the blood test and taking the temperature, the doctor gave Venus a bottle of liquid to inject.
“Do I need to spend several days here?” Venus stared her eyes.
The doctor glanced at her, “If the fever can’t go away by tonight, you’ll have to stay here.”
“But I don’t want to.” Venus was upset, “My families are not here; no one’s taking care of me. Please use more medicine on me. I need to get well as soon as possible.”
The doctor was a bit angry. He hadn’t seen any patients like this before. “You can’t abuse medicine! Your families are not here, but you have friends here! Isn’t he your boyfriend?” The doctor pointed at Kerry and said.
