The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 1225

"Damn it, it must be because of that perfume!" Stefan held the door and wiped away the sweat on his forehead, trying his best to control his breathing. He stood at the door, wondering whether he should enter the room. If he left, he was worried that she might hurt herself.

But if he entered the room, he might hurt her more.

Renee eventually bumped into a pillar, and woke up with a start. She looked around, confused, then stared at the cactus needles in her hand. "Where am I? What am I doing?"

"Renee, you're… awake?" Stefan swallowed and asked her urgently.

Surprised, Renee turned around and looked at Stefan, whose face was twisted in pain. She quickly rushed over and supported him, asking in concern, "Stefan, what's the matter with you? Why is your body so hot and your face so flushed? Are you having a fever?"

"Don't touch me!" Stefan pushed her away as sweat rolled down his throat. He was aware of the changes in his body, and it was getting increasingly difficult to control his urges.

If he did not push her away, he would have taken her there and then.

"What's the matter? Tell me so I can help you…" Renee figured he was drunk, and let him lean on her as said comfortingly, "Come to my room. I have an antipyretic in my bag."

"I told you not to touch me! You're digging your own grave…" Stefan snarled, breathing heavily.

In the meantime, Stefan had torn off his tie and unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his toned body.

"What… What are you doing?" Renee took a deep breath and looked away, trying not to let her thoughts run wild. She knew he wasn't well, but the enticing picture he painted was now burned in her mind.

She carefully went to him with her head turned away as she handed him the antipyretic and warm water. "Here… This medicine is very effective. Take it first so you can bring down your fever."

"No, it's fine…" Stefan put away the glass of water and medicine and got up unsteadily. His dilated pupils locked on her as he pulled her into his arms and growled, "I'd rather have you instead."
