Chapter 412 – Love Entangled with Her Unconscious Husband Novel Free (Volume II)

When she mentioned Adrian, Elyette’s emotions erupted once again.

“Elyette, please don’t get angry.” She nestled herself in his arms faced him. “I only wanted you to know that I wasn’t late on purpose. No matter what happens in the future, I will put you first.”

His huge hands were planning on pushing her away at first, but after what she said, he caved in.

What he always wanted was simple: for her to care for him.

She buried her face in his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. She felt extremely relieved. As long as he did not push her away, she would not let him go.

She really seemed to have realized that she did wrong. She seemed to have taken his love for granted. They had already agreed to a date that night. How could she have lied to him and arrived so late?

Even if it was a normal date, she should not have done so.

His breathing slowly became even, but she had no urge to fall asleep.

Firstly, because she just had an emotional rollercoaster ride. It was hard on her. Second, she did not have dinner. She was famished.

The server said that Elyette did not have any food either. Was he not hungry as well?

Averie took a deep breath. She wanted to wait for him to sleep soundly before getting down from the bed to look for things to eat.

However, a while later, she was burned by the heat coming from his body. She uncovered the covers and touched his face.

“You’re burning!” Averie exclaimed softly.

She realized that he was having a fever. She was about to get up to go look for medicine, but Elyette quickly held to her tightly, not letting her leave.

“Elyette, you have a fever. I’ll go get some medicine for you…” She said softly in his arms.

He grabbed her arm with huge effort. He was definitely awake! He was just not talking. Neither would he let her go.

Elyette felt cold. The moment Averie left his arms, he was so cold he shuddered as if he were about to freeze to death. He could not let her go.

“Elyette, please don’t torture yourself again in the future?” Averie had lost count of the number of times. “Whether you made a mistake, or I made a mistake, you have to stop torturing yourself.”

His breathing turned heavier. He was like a ball of fire at that moment, constantly emitting heat.

Averie was worried that a fever might cause him further problems.

“Elyette, let me go. I’ll go get medicine for you.” She pushed his arms away, wanting to get up.

He quickly grabbed hold of her, going up against her.

“Elyette, are you trying to die from sickness?!” Her arms hurt from his grab.

She did not want to yell at him, but if she did not sober him up, even if she used force, she might not escape his clutches.

After her yells, his grip on her lightened a little, but he still did not let her go.

She sat in front of him. She could not leave him, but she did not want to continue lying down. They stood in stalemate in the dark.

“…I do want to die.” Elyette’s hoarse voice rang out.

He seemed to be conscious but also delirious from the fever too.

“I’m not going to let you die!” Averie was agitated by him. “If you die, what’s going to happen to me and the children?”

“I’ll pass on my inheritance to you. You all will live a nice life.” His tone was filled with suffocating despair.

“Why do you want to die?! Just because I was late tonight…” Averie asked. She choked up.

“I’m tired,” Elyette replied.

It was not because she was late. That incident was just a trigger. He felt that his life was a mistake. From the beginning, it was a mistake.

Averie’s eyes were filled with tears. She pried his hand off her and quickly jumped off the bed.

She turned on the lights, stood by the bed, and looked at him coldly. “Elyette, I’ll take it as if you’re talking nonsense due to the fever. Anyone can die but you! Don’t you dare leave the three children alone to me to bring them up! If you dare die, I’ll go with you! We’ll let our children survive on their own!”

Averie said harshly walked out the door.

Elyette lifted his head, the piercing lights made him close his eyes quickly. His head hurt so badly as if it were about to split apart. Breathing suddenly felt like a luxury.

Without waiting for Averie to come back, he passed out.

The next morning, a phone rang in the quiet room. Elyette opened his eyes. He soon quickly recognized that it was Averie’s phone. He turned around to see Averie rubbing her eyes, looking for her phone.

She found the phone by the nightstand and answered the call.

“Miss Tate, Adrian is up! He is demanding to see you!” On the other end of the line, the bodyguard’s anxious voice came through.

Averie immediately looked at Elyette. She saw him looking at her coldly. Chills ran down her back. He had a fever the night before. He even passed out.

After feeding him some fever medicine, it did not work, so she called the house doctor to send some medicine in the middle of the night. He put Elyette on drips. His fever only subsided after two bottles.

She had waited for his drips to finish before falling asleep, so she was extremely sleepy at that moment

“I can’t go over,” Averie said to the bodyguard, “My husband is sick. I have to care for him.”

The bodyguard did not immediately realize who was that ‘husband’ she mentioned.

“Your husband? Who’s your husband?” the bodyguard raised his voice and asked.

Elyette could hear the bodyguard’s gruff voice even though she was speaking with the bodyquard through the cell phone.

Averie blushed immediately. “Who else could it be besides Elyette? We’re getting married soon.”

“Oh! So you’re not married yet but you’re already referring to him as your husband?” the bodyguard teased. “Alright. Go ahead and take care of him. I’ll just ignore Adrian.”

Had Elyette not been standing beside her, Averie would have asked the bodyguard to pass the phone to Adrian and comforted him. His presence made her wary of doing it.

She looked at Elyette after hanging up.

He turned his body to his side with his back facing her.

She placed her cell phone down and leaned toward him.

“How do you feel, Elyette?” she asked, reaching out and touching his forehead.

He remembered what happened the night before and so pushed her hand away out of resentment.

“I’m sorry, okay. I made a mistake yesterday.” She rested her body on top of him and asked in a soft voice. “Are you hungry? Let me bring you breakfast!”

“Why aren’t you taking care of that fool at the hospital?” he asked sullenly.

“Because you’re more important to me than he is.” She flipped him over so that he was facing her. “Look, Elyette. I put the ring on, and it fits perfectly.”

He looked at the diamond ring on her finger and it successfully suppressed the anger in his heart.

He still remembered what she said to him when he had a fever the night before.

He trusted that she did not come late on purpose, but there would always exist that irreconcilableness between himself and Adrian. After all, she could not tell him that she loved him while at the same time leading Adrian on.

It did not matter that she was only doing so out of sympathy and pity.

“I know you can’t accept Adrian,” she opened up when she saw his cold and gloomy face, “Because he’s Shea’s brother. I know everything, Elyette.”

Her words made his expression turn even colder.

“Adrian is my patient, so that information isn’t something that can be hidden from me.” She got down from the bed brought him some water. “I wouldn’t’ve suspected anything if Nathan treated him a little better.”
