However, a pair of hands covered his eyes.
Madeline asked. “Nolan, you’re not going to die, right?”
Nolan was at a loss for words.
Sometimes those who were often sick and frequently took medicine ironically lived longer.
on the do
Yulosa went upstairs and knocked on the door. “Ms. Larson, the pasta is ready.”
Madeline responded and went downstairs to eat
The room became quiet once again.
After about ten minutes, Madeline ran back in and closed the door.
Madeline touched Nolan’s check on the bed and frowned. “It’s strange. He’s still so cold, even though I’ve set the air conditioning pretty high
Turning in higher could affect air circulation and make breathing difficult”
Madeline held Nolan’s hand, unsure of what to do. If she couldn’t feel his faint breathing, she’d really be scared that Nolan might die..
Madeline sent a message to Eugene. What should I do if someone is always cold? Even with the air conditioner on, he’s still freezing |
Eugene quickly replied. Of course, you need someone to help warm the bed. Haven’t you read fantasy novels? In situations like these, it’s common to take off clothes and share a bed for warmth.]

If you need me. I can co
come over right now |
Madeline frowned, thinking this didn’t seem like a proper solution.
Moreover, Madeline glanced at Nolan, wondering if she’d survive if he woke up and found her in his bed.
Madeline thought about it for a moment and then consulted Google.
The solutions she found were air conditioning heating and body warmth.
Some answers were bizarre, suggesting going out for exercise or finding someone to exercise with ath
at home.
“Nolan is already quite weak. How can he go out and exercise? These answers just don’t match our situation, said Madeline.
As time went on, Madeline kept pondering. She noticed that Nolan’s complexion was getting paler. There seemed to be a cold sweat on his forehead as if he was holding back some kind of pain.
Ha knuckles were trembling.
The cold he babbled.
Nolan felt like his boors were about to crack from the cold.
Countless ity winds porreed through every inch of his skin.
The only warmth he could feel was from Madeline’s hand, and instinctively, he held onto it as his consciousness began to fade.
“Gold” he murmured
“Nolan” Madeline noticed him trying to warm up using her hand and realized that body heat actually worked.
She printed her teeth. Without hesitation, she slipped under the blanket, hugging Nolan tightly.
Madeline stared wide–eyed at the ceiling chanting in her mind that she was a proper, decent person and definitely not taking advantage of Nolan.
Nolan finally felt warmth.
He snuggled closer to the person holding him, visibly relaxing as he unconsciously wrapped an arm around her waist. He whispered painfully. “It
hurts,”
“Hang in there, Nolan Madeline said softly, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel. She felt sorry for Nolan
His long hair was spread across the bed, each strand as light as air, with a faint herbal scent
Chapter 220
He looked like a beautiful but frail character right out of a painting.
It made Madeline’s heart ache
Madeline gently parted Nolan’s back and said. “Nolan, don’t be scared. I’m here.
If the pain becomes unbearable, let’s go to the hospital, okay!”
Nolan didn’t say anything.
Madeline knew he definitely didn’t want to go to the hospital since he was a doctor himself.
They cuddled and dept for a while, until around 3.AM
Nolan’s condition suddenly got worse.
The color drained from Nolan’s face immediately. He coughed a few times, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Madeline felt both anxious and heartbroken. She used a tissue to wipe the blood from his lips.
“Is it always this terrifying whenever there’s an episode? Then why is no one around? Or is it particularly dangerous this time? Madeline couldn’t wait any longer. She took out her phone, ready to call for an ambulance.
Nolan, breathing heavily, opened his eyes with an unfocused gaze. Weakly, he grabbed her wrist and said. “It’s okay now. Maddie, it’s the same every time. I am used to it by now”
His voice was extremely low
If the room hadn’t been quiet, she wouldn’t have heard him.
Madeline put down her phone, leaned on his pillow, and turned to look at him. “Nolan, are you really okay now?”
Nolan raised his hand to touch her cheek and rested his forehead against hers. Their breaths we
were close.
Did I scare you, Madeline?” asked Nolan
“No” Madeline said, looking at him with his eyes firmly shur. “Nolan, what’s really wrong with you! Aren’t you just feeling weak? But how does weakness make you cough up blood?”
Nolan let out a low, hoarse laugh.
Once the blood was spat out, the poison came with it,
His pain eased a bit, but he clung greedily to her warm body. He didn’t have the strength to open his eyes and softly said, “There’s poison in my body, so when it reaches my lungs, it hurts a lot
“But don’t worry, it’s just an old problem flaring up again. It’s not life–threatening
ut Did you think I was going to die!”
“Maddie, did I scare you!!
Nolan’s voice e got lower and lower, and Madeline had to lean in to hear him.
“If one day I disappear from this world, would anyone care?” asked Nolan.
There was a hint of sadness in Madeline’s eyes. “At least I will care.”
She stared at Nolan, really afraid he might disappear.
Logically, he should outlive her
Still, hearing those words made her a bit sad.
“Nolan, dont say things like that. You’re scaring me,” said Madeline
She didn’t want any of her brothers to teave her.
That was when Madeline realized how self–centered she was, wishing all her brothers could have long, healthy lives.
Nolan touched her warm neck, and when he regained some strength, he propped himself up and looked into her eyes.
“Madeline, Nolan called out.
Madeline met his eyes. “What’s wrong, Nolan!”

11.34 AM
Chapter 129
Nolan looked seriously at her and asked, “Maddie, will there ever be a day when you don’t want me around?”
Madeline noticed he looked tired, his eyes red–rimmed with a distant, dreamy look.
“Nolan, I won’t leave you. I promise,” said Madeline firmly
She vowed never to marry anyone. She just wanted to be with her brothers.
Madeline smiled, “After you set up your family, I’ll step aside and give your loved one my place, alright?”
As soon as Madeline said that, she noticed something change in Nolan’s eyes, a particular sparkle.
Madeline tried to get up, but Nolan held her shoulder down.
She was afraid to struggle, worried she might hurt the frail Nolan. “What’s wrong?”
“What I said isn’t what you think” said Nolan.
Madeline suddenly had a bad feeling. Then
“Well,” she said, glancing at the dark night outside. The bedside lamp was suddenly turned off by Nolan, plunging everything into darkness.
Madeline changed the topic. “Since you’re not dying. Nolan, I’m going back to my
room now.
“I still have class tomorrow.
“Let’s talk about it another time, okay?”
Nolan’s voice echoed in the darkness. “It’s too hard for me. It’s too painful
if I just died like this, it would be such a regret.
He couldn’t bear the thought of his life being filled only with bitterness.
His voice was almost enchanting. “Madeline, can you… let me taste what sweetness is like?”
