Chapter 11 Mrs Nolan Is Blushing

When they finally arrived in London, it was eleven at night. The moment Ashlyn stepped off the plane, she let out a sneeze. She was clad in a yellow dress and a khaki coat, but the night breeze was too much for her. So, she couldn’t help but shiver at the sudden chill. Spencer stood by her side as they waited for Lucas together. After handling the landing procedures, Lucas walked out with the purser and the other flight attendants behind him. They looked so good-looking in their uniforms that they immediately became the center of attraction in the airport. Especially Lucas, whose captain’s uniform accentuated his masculine sexiness. * The car Lucas and Ashlyn were in headed toward the hotel slowly. Once Lucas got into the car, he immediately held Ashlyn’s hands. “Why are your hands so cold?” “The weather is slightly cooler at night. I’m fine.” Ashlyn took her hands away from him. If they weren’t about to get a divorce, they might seem like an old married couple. When they reached the hotel, Ashlyn took a shower and climbed straight into bed as her head felt groggy. By the time Lucas exited the bathroom, she had already fallen asleep. He lay by her side and was about to switch off the lights when he realized her body was scalding hot. “Ashlyn?” The woman’s eyes were shut tight as she had fallen into a deep sleep. He reached out to touch her forehead and frowned at the heat he felt. “You’re burning up.” As there were two unnatural red spots burning on her cheekbones, Lucas called the reception immediately. “Can I get a doctor? A female doctor, if possible.” Ten minutes later, the doctor arrived with her kit in hand. She took Ashlyn’s temperature and found she was running a temperature at 39 degrees Celsius. “She has a fever. Sir, can you help me take off her clothes?” The blonde doctor cladded in her blue uniform asked Lucas politely. “I need to give her a shot.” Something gleamed across Lucas’ aloof gaze as he helped the doctor to take off Ashlyn’s clothes. After giving Ashlyn a shot, the doctor prescribed some medicine for her before leaving the hotel room. For the rest of the night, Lucas kept reaching out to feel the woman’s body temperature. He didn’t know why her fever wouldn’t go down. Ashlyn was half asleep when she suddenly felt her body burning. Even her breath was heated. She shifted uncomfortably and opened her eyes. At once, she met the man’s dark gaze. Ashlyn propped herself up and touched her forehead. “What time is it?” “Four in the morning.” “Why aren’t you asleep?” She stared at Lucas curiously. “Since you’re awake, take the meds.” He got off the bed and got her a glass of water. He then removed the packaging of the pills and gave them to her. “Meds?” Ashlyn gazed at the pills resting on her palm blankly. She wasn’t used to taking meds when she was sick. Lucas furrowed his brows. “Didn’t you realize you have a fever? I shouldn’t have brought you here. You must’ve caught a fever because of me.” “No wonder my body is aching so badly.” Ashlyn didn’t like taking medicine, but since Lucas was staring at her, she had no choice but to swallow the pills. After taking the pills, she snuggled into his embrace. Her voice was weak as she thanked him, “Thank you, honey.” Lucas must’ve summoned the doctor as he realized I had a fever. Well, for the past four years, he did his duty as a husband. The thing is, we don’t love each other. Lucas wrapped his arm around her waist upon hearing the affection in her voice. “Seducing me again?” Ashlyn smiled shyly and spread her pretty legs wide before sitting across Lucas' lower abdomen. Hooking her arms around his neck, she cooed, “I had a nap, so I'm feeling quite energetic now.” Her well-endowed chest was right in front of Lucas' throat, so when she leaned forward, it brushed against his Adam's apple. She purred, “I've regained most of my stamina too.” There was no way Lucas could resist such temptation. His eyes flared with desire as he growled, “You asked for it!”
