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!”
