Chapter 113
Damon stood up from the sofa, frowning a bit from a headache.
He smiled silently.
This illness, it’s like he was asking for it.
‘Get up, let’s go downstairs for lunch.”
“Alright.”
At lunch, both of them had small appetites.
Marina looked at them, feeling really down..
“How come you both got sick one after the other?”
“They were never big eaters anyway. Watching them eat now, I can’t help but get anxious.”
Marina’s words made Chloe feel super awkward.
Damon’s eyes were full of amusement, thoroughly enjoying Chloe’s reaction.
Chloe noticed Damon’s gaze and looked up at him.
“Cough…”
Damon suddenly coughed at that moment, covering his lips lightly with his hand and furrowing his brows.
“Sir, are you alright?”
Marina hurriedly brought a glass of water to Damon.
Damon raised his hand to stop her.
“You didn’t cough this morning.”
Chloe frowned, asking why his illness seemed to be getting worse.
Just as she finished speaking, Chloe also felt her throat itch.
“Cough…”
Marina, who was next to them, looked up and her eyes were filled with worry.
“Ms. Summers, are you okay?”
Marina poured a glass of water for Chloe just like she did for Damon, looking at her with concern.
“It’s fine…”
Damon smiled.
“See, illnesses take time to recover.”
Chloe stood up, “I’m full.”
Damon also stood up, and as Chloe passed by him, he grabbed her hand.
“Let’s go for a walk together.”
Chloe glanced at the shocked Marina beside her and tried to pull her hand back. But Damon held on tight and led her out of the house.
At the entrance, Damon took his coat and draped it over her shoulders.
Chloe felt a bit resistant inside, but not because of the coat.
It was because of the so–called walk that night, which she still couldn’t forget.
The idea of a walk coming from Damon’s mouth always felt a bit unexpected.
So that’s how big Marina’s reaction was to the two of them suddenly falling ill.
They had just stepped out as the bright sunshine outside warmed them up.
The weather was really nice.
Damon held her hand the entire time, never letting go.
Chloe simply let him do it, knowing full well that she couldn’t resist his overbearing ways.
Pointless resistance was something she found annoying too.
The sun shone brightly, and the scenery was beautiful.
