Love Drug Novel

Summer shot him a look .

Do you even realize how high your fever is right now ? Its not 102 Id say its closer to 199 ! Fraser let out a dry chuckle , the corners of his lips curving faintly .

You think thats funny ? Youre worried about me .

He pulled her hand to his cheek .

The burning heat spread from his skin to her palm , running up her arm , wrapping around her .

Im not worried about anything .

She yanked her hand back and stood up , heading into the bathroom .

She grabbed a towel from the rack , soaked it in cold water , wrung it out , and returned to the bedroom .

By the time she came back , Frasers eyes were closed again , his brows still slightly scrunched in discomfort .

Gone was the usual cocky , laid back version of him .

Now , he looked vulnerable .

And for some reason , that vulnerability made her chest ache .

Summer sat beside him and gently placed the cold towel on his forehead .

Just then , the doorbell rang .

She walked out to open it .

Xavier stood at the door with a medical kit in hand .

He froze for half a second when he saw her but quickly recovered .

Hey , Summer .

We meet again .

She gave a small nod and let him in .

1/3 Xavier let out a low whistle .

This guys built like a bull and never gets sick .

Honestly , Summer , this might be a trick to get your sympathy .

Before the words even finished , Frasers eyes snapped open , sharp and cold .

You always been this good at reading situations ? Xavier felt a chill down his spine from that glare .

Hah … just kidding .

He quickly changed the subject .

Alright , let me check your temperature .

Xavier moved to the bedside , pulled out an ear thermometer , and scanned Fraser .

One hundred and five ! He gawked .

Holy shit , youre actually burning up .

Fraser shot him a withering look .

But Xavier , seeing him weak and miserable , just smiled like sunshine .

Fraser turned his face away , clearly annoyed .

Is it contagious ? Xavier smirked , savoring the rare chance to get back at him .

Fever itself ? No.

But in your condition , Id avoid getting too worked up .

Dont forget Summers pregnant .

Standing nearby , Summer flushed bright red .

Get out , Fraser said , deadpan .

In the living room , Xavier handed Summer some meds and went over what to watch for .

She listened intently .

Is that temp dangerous ? Mm , probably not .

Then he changed his tone .

But it could be .

Thats why you need to stay by his side .

If it hits one twenty , weve got a real problem .

Summers eyes widened .

That serious ? Xavier nodded solemnly .

Yeah .

Sick people are usually grumpy and needy .

Youll need to be extra patient .

Just let him have his way for a bit .

After he left , Summer poured a cup of warm water and brought it into the room with the meds .

She sat on the edge of the bed .

Time to take your medicine .

.

Fraser looked at her with heavy lidded eyes .

You feed me .

She helped prop him up so he could lean against the headboard , then held the pills and water to his lips .

She wasnt sure if he was doing it on purpose , but when he swallowed , her palm suddenly felt damp .

She looked at him sharply his face was as calm and innocent as ever .

Lie back and rest .

If you need anything , call me .

Youre not staying ? Fraser looked at her with soft eyes , his expression laced with just enough pitiful charm .

Summer remembered what Xavier said .

Ill go get you some more water .

Be right back .

She went to the kitchen and refilled the cup with warm water .

When she came back , she placed it on the nightstand beside his bed .
