Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 407

Enzo and the doctor left one after the other.

Susanna was still burning up with fever, her cheeks flushed crimson. The doctor had mentioned that combining medication with some physical cooling would help bring her temperature down faster.

At that moment, Susanna wasn't doing too well, even babbling incoherently from the fever.

In the end, Hull had no choice but to fill a basin with water and strip Susanna down. He wasn't exactly a gentle guy, nor had he ever done anything this delicate before.

"What a hassle."

At that moment, Hull thought Susanna was quite the handful.

In his mind, if it weren't for Ronald and Stella, he wouldn't have bothered with her at all.

The doctor was right, though. The physical cooling worked quickly, and soon Susanna's temperature started to drop.

Hull, however, was done dealing with her. He didn't even bother dressing her back up, just pulled the blanket over her and left.

The next morning when Susanna woke up and realized she was stark naked under the blanket, she was utterly flabbergasted.

What followed was a high-pitched scream that could have scared the bejesus out of the birds outside.

...

Stella was groggily woken by the vibrating phone, her eyes half-open as she searched for it.

Ronald was already out of bed.

Stella found it under the bed and saw that Susanna was calling. She answered quickly, "Susie."

Just as she picked up, Ronald walked back into the room.

Stella glanced at him briefly before Susanna burst into tears on the other end of the line.

Stella asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I... I think something happened to me," Susanna sobbed.

Stella was numbed. "What? Do you need me to call the police?"

Stella was still half-asleep, and as soon as she said it, she realized it didn't quite sound right.

Wait a minute... she remembered...

"Aren't you with Hull?"
