Chapter 51

Meanwhile at Addy's penthouse

Eva was lying on the bed still passed out with a drip attached to her arm.

Addy was pacing around the room, checking the level of the drip from time to time, checking her complexion as well.

He had already changed into his comfortable clothes, he went to the kitchen to take a bowl of cold water and a towel.

Flo saw him and was wondering what he wants to do with the bowl and towel.

"Young Master, what are you doing?" She asked curiously

"Nothing...I just want to Ermm use it"

Thankfully, no one saw him brought Eva into the house and he doesn't want anyone especially Aunty Flo to know someone is in the house with him, if not his mother would come running to check.

"Nothing?" She didn't believe him

"Can you make porridge for me and put it in the flask so it will still be warm?" Addy said without giving her the chance to reply to him.

"Porridge? But you don't like porridge. Are you not feeling fine? Do you want me to call Madam?"

"Don't call my mom... I just want to have the porridge because I have started a new diet regime and eating porridge is part of it" He lied

"Oh ok"

"You don't have to come back tonight, I will sort things out in here"

"Ok sir" Flo was getting suspicious but didn't say anything

He left the kitchen with the bowl of cold water and a towel he was carrying.

When he got to his room, he checked Eva's temperature to see that she was still burning up. He dipped the towel in the bowl and squeeze it out, and place it on her forehead.

He kept doing that till he noticed the water is starting to turn lukewarm, and when he felt her temperature, he realised it's gone back to normal, he sighed relief.

He checked the drip and realised the water in the bag, had just finished. He immediately removes the needle from her hand and places it back gently. He dragged his study chair beside the bed and sat quietly and watch Eva as she sleeps peacefully.

'She's so beautiful and looks so peaceful' he mumbled to himself.

About an hour later, Eva opened her eyes, and she was wondering where she was because it definitely isn't familiar. Addy saw she has opened her eyes

"Are you feeling better now?"

"Where am I?" She asked weakly

"Don't talk you need your strength. You are at my place, you passed out at work, so I brought you here to take care of you personally...I hope you don't mind?" He asked cautiously

"Well, I'm already here so..." she rolled her eyes. Why bother to ask her, when he had already brought her to his house without her permission.

He coughed because he knew what she meant.

"Do you want something light to eat, you didn't eat anything throughout the day"

"No thanks I'm going home, where is my phone?" she struggled to get up, but Addy quickly pushes her back gently.

"You don't have to worry, Lilian went home already, and this is your phone" he passed her the phone.

She checked her phone to see a lot of missed calls from Rosie, as she was about to dial Rosie's contact, she checked the time and noticed the time was 12:30 am, so she decided to only send her a text message, saying she was sorry she couldn't pick up and she would see her later in the evening after work and that she will call her in the morning.

She also saw Lilian had sent her a message

'I hope you see this when you wake up, don't worry about Rosie, I will take good care of her, you should just focus on yourself and I will see you in the morning. P.S. Call me anytime if 'HE' touches you inappropriately, I will come running like a cheetah'

So she decided to stay the night since it is late anyways.

She smiled to herself.

Addy left the room, to go take the porridge flask from the kitchen. While he was gone, Eva used the opportunity to look around the room and saw a bowl of water and towel right beside the bed, and an empty drip bag with a used needle. She was surprised to see all those things and she almost teared up because she didn't know what she had done to deserve such love and care from this guy.

Addy entered the room with a food tray in his hands.

"Can you sit up? So you can have something to eat"

She adjusted herself resting her back on the bed's headboard, as Addy poured out the content in the flask.

When she finished eating, she told him, she needs to use the bathroom and if he has spare clothes for her to change into after she's done because she cannot wear the turtleneck sweater to bed.

He gave her a spare towel and toothbrush, as she went into the bathroom. He went to pick one of his white shirts since he doesn't have any female outfit in his wardrobe.

He knocked on the bathroom door, to let her know he has found something she can wear. She opened the door slightly, which was only big enough for her hand to pass through, so she could collect the clothes from him.

Addy was waiting for her to be done in the bathroom, he had already cleared the room and straightened the bedsheet. He was restless and couldn't sit still because the love of his life his actually in his bathroom, and would be sleeping on his bed, what more can he ask for.

After twenty minutes, she stepped out of the bathroom wearing only the shirt, which was just a little bit big for her with her hair damped. As soon as he saw her, he couldn't move, it was as if he had been paralyzed. He thought it was only her face that was glassy and milky, but her entire body looks the same.

"Wow...such beauty" he mumbled to himself. Thankfully Eva didn't hear him.

"Do you have a hairdryer?" she asked shyly

Addy couldn't take his eyes off her. He pointed towards the dressing table, as she went to sit in front of the mirror. As she was about to start blowdrying her hair, Addy collected it.

"Allow me"

"You don't have to worry, I can do it myself" she replied shyly

"Let me do it, your hand must be achy by now because of the drip needle. So don't stress yourself and allow me"

She eventually gave up and he started blowdrying her hair.

"I hope it is not too hot," He asked with a concerned face

"No the temperature is just right" she replied shyly

"Your hair smells nice" he was trying to make small talks to avoid awkwardness

"I used your shampoo"

"Oh yeah it is my shampoo, but for some reason, it smells better on you"

"It smells the same to me"

"Your hair feels so silky as well"

"Thanks"

After making sure her hair is completely dried, he brushed her hair making it silky and frizz-free.
