The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 671

Chapter 671

Lulu bit her lip. 'Stop it..."

Before she could finish, Zachary's lips were already on hers.

He was holding her very tightly. Despite Lulu's disgust, she could not refuse for appearance's sake, so she pretended to be embarrassed. "Don't..."

Zachary brushed against her cheek. "We're lovers. Kissing is fine."

Lulu said, "But I forgot about that."

"You'd remember if I kissed you more.'

"You're such a scoundrel." She pretended to pout and slipped out of his arms.

Zachary naturally knew that he should not be impatient, and he simply bore with it. "Why? It's normal for lovers, and I will take responsibility for you- just say the word, and I will marry you right away."

Lulu did not want to talk about that, so she quickly changed the subject.' When would you finish work? It's so boring staying here."

"I'll be done soon," Zachary said.

"Hurry," she urged.

"Yeah."

Still, he was only done when the skies were dark and it was almost time for dinner.

Zachary looked for a restaurant that offers delicious seafood stew for Lulu, and she ordered a lot of seafood, along with an extra spicy stew.

As Zachary glanced at the pot of redness that resembled magma bursting out of a volcano, he then glanced at his bandaged arm.

As a doctor, he knew that he should not be eating that stuff since it would ruin his recovery.

Seeing that he was not moving, Lulu put some stewed mackerel slices on Zachary's plate. "Why aren't you eating, Zachary? Don't you like to eat with me?"

"No," Zachary went to work right then. "Of course I love being with you."

Lulu diligently put more chunks of seafood in his plate then. "It's good. You should have more."

Zachary had a low tolerance for spicy food in the first place.

His cheeks were flushed, and the sweat over his brow was the size of peas.

He was almost passing out from the spicy violence and Lulu had to drive him home.

As she helped him to his room, she told him, "You're still hurt, so you shouldn't bathe."

"I'm thirsty," Zachary rasped, wanting nothing but water right then.

"I'll get it for you."

As she poured some water into a glass, she also dropped a pill into it.

Zachary, however, could not sense anything by then. All his medical acumen as a doctor was gone and he felt like his whole body was on fire— a dialysis might not be out of the question!

Then, after he drank the glass of water from Lulu, he began to feel drowsy!

Lulu simply sat by his bed, watching and waiting.

Once she ensured that he was sleeping like a log, she quietly left the house, intending to look for Ricky, only to find Ricky waiting for her right outside!
