Chapter 42 – Back Home to Marry Off Myself Novel

“I…”

Cormac had already seen the name displayed on the screen and his eyebrows permeated with evil.

The doctor by the name of Sampson?

Loredana was startled for two seconds. She subconsciously reached out to feel his forehead with her hand but Cormac buckled her waist and made a flip. She was pressed by him to lie on the car seat…

Loredana’s brain went blank for a few seconds. Under his gaze, it took quite a moment for her to regain the presence of mind, “Are, are you okay?”

She was instinctively defensive.

Cormac’s sturdy body was crouching above her. The lust flashing in his eyes was very intense and almost overflowed but he was still forcing himself to restrain, “You thought I have a fever?”

Touched his forehead?

Did she know anyone should not touch him right now?

Especially women!

It was just an instinct. Someone would touch others’ forehead when they were sick. After all, he was not feeling well, so Loredana treated him as a patient.

“It’s good that you’re fine.” Loredana sensed the danger at that moment and tried to escape from the position below him.

Cormac moved his body down and pressed her body that was trying to move, “Don’t you need to pay after using me to gain an advantage?”

His lips were right next to her ear, almost touching her skin. The hot air exhaled when he spoke was sprayed densely and this made her felt slightly itchy. This kind of position made her recalled the memories hidden in her heart. That night, the man was also lying on top of her like this, domineeringly demanding from her…

She was trembling slightly while he was tensing up too.

“Mr. Mendelsohn…I, I’ll bring you to the hospital.” She forced herself to calm down, “I’m a woman who had made out with another man, I’m sure you won’t be interested.”

Loredana purposely uttered the words ‘I had made out with another man’ clearly.

It seemed to be a reminder, but also seemed to be a method to deliberately make him disgusted.

If he was disgusted, even if he really wanted to fulfil his desire badly, he would be able to bear himself.

As expected, upon hearing those words uttered by Loredana, Cormac’s eyes were having a hint of coldness. They were still hot but they already lost the intensity.

His fingers fondled her cheek, jaw and he grabbed her neck the next second, yelling angrily, “Are you involved?”

Loredana shook her head, “No, no, I’m at odds with them, how will I cooperate with them to dig a pit for you? You’re my backer, I still can tell which is more important.”

A drop of sweat fell on Loredana’s face. Her body stiffened. He was really forcing himself to restrain.

Through the light outside the car, she was able to see the beads of sweat on his forehead.

Loredana tried to move her arm and Cormac did not stop her. She opened the car window and the car was filled with fresh air. The shady feelings among them became lesser. Cormac’s mind became slightly clearer.

His voice was hoarse and low, “Call Abbott.”

Finished speaking, he turned and lay at the side. Loredana got herself out and touched his pocket. She did not know his phone was in which pocket of his clothes. She touched both of them and still could not feel it, and when she touched his pant pocket, Cormac frowned, “Don’t touch it.”

His voice really sounded that he was restraining himself. He abruptly opened his eyes and stared at

Loredana, “If you continue touching…”

He was afraid that he would not be able to restrain himself.

He held Loredana’s hand and put it on his right pant pocket, “Here.” After saying that, he let go of her hand and closed his eyes again.

Loredana took out the phone in his pant pocket, searched for Abbott’s number and dialed it.

Loredana got down from the back seat and waited outside the car for Abbott to come over.

It was too unsafe for her to stay in the car.

Who knew whether Cormac’s ability to restrain himself was good or not?

Abbott’s speed was quite fast as he arrived in ten minutes. He then brought Cormac back to the villa.

Initially, Loredana asked Abbott to send Cormac to the hospital as she worried that Cormac’s body might have health problems.

But Cormac let Abbott send him to the villa.

After returning to the villa, Loredana put a poof of cold water in the bathroom to try to keep him awake.

He was actually awake but he looked like he was not awake.

After soaking in the cold water for more than an hour, Cormac’s limbs felt as if they were chained to iron shackles. He completely relied on Abbott and Loredana to get him out.

After Cormac was placed on the bed, Abbott looked at Loredana, “I think I can’t help you with the next thing, I’ll wait outside, call me if you need anything.”

Loredana was speechless.

“Wait, if you leave, then he…” Loredana pointed at the entirely wet man.

What to do?

Abbott shrugged and told her that he could not help, “I definitely can’t do the job of changing clothes, so it has to be done by you. You’re Mr. Mendelsohn’s legal wife, it’s reasonable that you help him to change clothes and take care of him.”

Loredana was speechless.

They were nominally reasonable and legal, but…

“I’ll stay outside.” After saying that, Abbott walked out and closed the door. He stood at the door and shivered. Helping Cormac to change clothes and look at his bare body?

Even though he just simply thought about it, Abbott could also imagine Cormac’s furious face.

Perhaps he would be fired.

Loredana stood by the bed, staring in distress at the man lying on the bed. If the wet clothes were not changed, he would probably catch a cold.

Change. She looked helplessly at the bright crystal chandelier on the roof and took a deep breath, “The reason you become like this today is because of me, I really can’t leave you alone.”

She bent down her body, reached out and unbuttoned his shirt one by one. She lifted his arm, took off his clothes and unbuckled the belt. She then turned her head to pull off his pants and blindly searched for a blanket to cover his body.

After doing all this, Loredana looked at him. He passed out and seemed to be sleeping quite soundly.

She took the wet clothes and went out. Seeing her come out, Abbott got up from the sofa, “Have you finished changing his clothes?”

Loredana nodded and handed the wet clothes to Coral.

“Mr. Mendelsohn may need someone to stay by his side tonight. You stay here, call me if anything happens,

I’ll go back first.” Abbott was taking a jacket.

Loredana nodded helplessly and found a dry towel to wipe Cormac’s hair.

After wiping his hair, when she got up to place the towel properly, her wrist was suddenly pulled by

Cormac. With some force, she was pulled and she fell onto the bed. He turned over and placed his long legs on her body. Loredana tried to push him away but the more she pushed, the greater the force he used to embrace her.

He tightly circled her slender body and buried his head in her neck, murmuring softly, “Don’t be afraid…”

Loredana did not dare to move. As his voice was too small for her to hear clearly, she asked softly, “What did you say?”

But no one answered her.

Later, Loredana felt sleepy and fell asleep on the bed.

Warm beams of light entered through the gaps in the curtains. Cormac’s eyelashes slightly moved and his eyes opened. He was apparently not adapted to the light due to his all-night slumber. He closed his eyes and opened them again only after a while.

When he wanted to move, he found that something was pressing against his arm. He turned his head and realized that a woman was lying in the crook of his arm.

Her black hair was like a waterfall while her eyelashes were thick and curly as if butterflies were staying on her eyelids. Her cherry-like lips were slightly pursed and her breathing was steady. All these surprisingly made him felt restless. He gently moved his arm but the moment he moved, Loredana cooed.

Her body slightly moved and her eyelashes lightly trembled. She then slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was an impeccable handsome face that was like a carving.
