Chapter 48
Adam leaned closer toward Celine’s face. With a husky voice from just waking up, he said softly, “Celine, did I hurt you? I’m sorry?
He apologized to her in a low voice.
Celine, still fast asleep, didn’t respond. Her breaths were soft and shallow. Even her hair carried a sweet and delicate fragrance.
Adam fell a burning sensation in his throat, like embers rolling through. Although he wulded looking at her youthful and seductive body, he couldn’t resist lowering her head. He was tempted to kiss her fragrant and silky hair.
Just as he was about to do so, Celine let out a soft whimper and slowly opened her eyes.
She had woken up
Adam instantly snapped back to his senses. He was stunned and completely at a loss for what he had been doing moments earlier. He couldn’t believe he almost kissed Celine’s hair
Despite encountering countless beautiful women, he was now losing control of himself because of Celine. In a flurry, he released her, threw off the blanket, and climbed out of bed.
Celine sat up and was unaware of what had just happened. She rubbed her eyes and asked, “You’re awake? Has your fever gone down?
Sher
got out of bed and reached out to check Adam’s forehead for his temperature.
Before she could touch him, he blocked her hand outright.
Celine was taken aback, unsure of what he was doing she didn’t understand why he would overreact over her touching his forehead.
Adam turned and walked straight to the bathroom. “I’m going to take a cold shower.”
Soon, the sound of running water echoed from inside.
Celine was bewildered. “Adam, why are you taking a cold shower so early in the morning? Your back injury can’t get wet. Do you hear me?” Adam didn’t respond.
Celine felt she was worrying for nothing. Since she couldn’t figure out his weird behaviors, she let him be
That evening, Adam went to Club 1996. After finding Benjamin in a booth, he asked, “Do you have what I asked for?”
“Of course, Adam!”
Benjamin pulled out a bottle of medicinal oil. The Goodwin family’s medicinal oil was a cherished heirloom. It was known for its remarkable effect.
“Adars, just apply this medicinalol to the wound, and the scar shall fade quickly. By the way, is it for Carly? Only she could make you come to me for something like this,” Benjamin teased with a chuckde.
got up and intended to leave.
After keeping the medicinal oil, Adam got up.
But then he noted a familiar figure ahead. Celine had also come to the club,
Celine was there with Robin, who was muttering angrily, “Celine, who on earth hurt your waist? I’ll chop off their hands!”
Adam remained silent. He stepped forward, wanting to approach Celine. But in the next second, he stopped in his tracks.
That was because he had spotted his close friend, Nathan Lynch
Nathan called out to Celine, “Celine, I heard from Robin that you hurt your waist. Here’s a bottle of medicinal oil for you” Nathan took out a bottle identical to the one Adam had
“What the heck!” Benjamin was stunned. “Adam, Nathan also asked me for a bottle of medicinal oil for Celine”
“As he spoke, he stared at Adam in disbelief. “No way. Did you ask me for the medicinal oil to give to Celine too?“”
Meanwhile, Celine accepted Nathan’s ointment with a smile. “Thanks, Mr. Lynch”
As Adam’s expression darkened, he tossed the bottle of medicinal oil back to Benjamin. “Cut the crap”
With that, he turned to leave.
But just then, someone suddenly looped their arm around his. “Adam, it turns out you’re here”
Carly had appeared.
As Adam looked up, he saw Celine’s cool gate glancing in his direction.
