At that moment, Dominic’s mind buzzed, on the verge of bursting. He had drunk tonight, but he could not tell whether the alcohol or the person before him had intoxicated him.
Either way, he already felt drunk and had lost all restraint. Without thinking, he reached out and set his hand on Jessica’s smooth back, taking the lead at once.
Jessica’s eyes widened, bright with unmistakable delight.
After that, neither of them spoke. Dominic’s hands moved with deliberate confidence.
Jessica responded with even greater precision.
The spark caught at once, like gunpowder primed to explode.
At the final instant, a sliver of clarity flashed through Dominic’s eyes. With iron resolve, he forced himself upright and said, ” You still have a fever. I’m going to get your medicine p>
After that, he straightened his clothes and rushed out, as if in flight.
Jessica froze in place, caught between emotions. Then she pouted, clearly displeased. “What the heck! We were one step from success, and you quit halfway? Dominic, you’re useless p>
A second later, she broke into laughter.
As she laughed, she reached out and grasped at empty air a few times. Her smile soon faded. “Movies are all lies … Dominic, he… Tsk, could he actually die… ”
A shiver ran through her.
When Dominic returned with the medicine, he could still hear Jessica muttering, “He won’t even experience it when I’m at 39°C
… There won’t be another chance in the future … ”
Dominic acted as if he heard nothing. While he prepared the medicine, he regained his composure. Carrying a bowl, he said, “All right. Time to take your medicine p>
Jessica’s face lit up. Her eyes stayed on Dominic as she nodded firmly. “Okay! ”
Given her energy, her condition already seemed to be improving.
Dominic wasted no time. He brought the medicine to her lips, with none of the exaggerated spoon–feeding scenes from television dramas.
The medicine tasted bitter. Drinking it slowly would only prolong the suffering. The best choice was to swallow it in one go
“This is the herbal medicine the doctor prescribed. It’s a little bitter, so be ready,” Dominie said, holding the bowl
Jessica took it and drank without hesitation. Then she could not help saying, “Medicine that Dominic brings must be sweet Ugh! ”
Before she finished, the bitterness hit her, nearly making her gag
She scrunched her face. “It’s really bitter p>
Dominic laughed. “Let’s see if you still try to act cute p>
Jessica rolled her eyes. “ I think it’ll take at least a month for me to recover. Dominic, can you stay here with me
“ You’re dreaming! ” Dominic replied at once, “I have work! MissWalt, it’s already past midnight. Lean‘) stay p>

He turned to leave.
When he saw Jessica’s crestfallen expression, he sighed inwardly and said, “Fine. I’ll stay and chat a little longer p>
Jessica’s face brightened at once. “Dominic, you’re the best p>
She truly was a little menace, every emotion written plainly on her face.
Dominic sat at the head of the bed. “I’ll say this first. Lie down and behave. No funny business. Got it p>
Everything aligned too perfectly. The people, the place, the timing. If it happened again, he doubted he could restrain himself. He suspected he would not pull back from the edge a second time.
The safest choice was to lecture this little firecracker now, before she charged toward the cliff again.
