Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 898

"Take your medicine first." Evelyn took a disposable cup to get him some hot water.

"Okay." When she wasn't looking, Sheffield threw the medicine away and replaced it with vitamin C tablets.

Evelyn didn't give him the cup of water. She took it into the bedroom and said to him, "Come in and lie down."

Sheffield followed her into the bedroom and lay on the bed.

"Where's the medicine?" she asked.

"Here it is." Then he took the pills.

Evelyn had no time to stop him from taking the pills. "Why were you in such a hurry? The water is still too hot!"

However, he managed to down the pills even without chasing them down with water.

Evelyn was on the brink of a meltdown. She went out and poured some cold water into the cup until the water was warm. "Drink this so you can wash the pills down."

"Okay." He obediently drank the entire cup.

Satisfied, Evelyn threw the empty cup into the trash can and made him lie down on the bed. "You should sleep."

"Okay." He closed his eyes as if he was sleepy.

When she turned around to take a shower, he grabbed her hand.

"Evelyn, don't go. I'm not feeling well," he said weakly.

"I'm not leaving. I'm going to take a shower." She sat beside the bed and comforted him softly.

"No shower, Evelyn. I want to sleep with you in my arms." He wouldn't let go of her.

Evelyn sighed since he was acting like a spoiled brat. "Okay, I'll just take off my coat."

She pulled her arm from his grip, picked up his coat that he had placed at the foot of the bed, and hung it next to her coat on the rack.

Sheffield moved to make room for her on the bed.

As soon as Evelyn lay in bed, he pulled her into his arms.

She relaxed when he didn't try anything else and just held her in his arms.

"Evelyn, I want to talk to you," he whispered in her ears. To himself, he thought, 'She's on guard, so I need to do something or say something to let her guard down.'

"Aren't you sleepy?"

"I'm not sleepy yet!"

"Okay, then tell me." She listened carefully.

Whenever she was in a conversation, she always acted as the listener but never the talker.
