Chapter 77 Kicked Out of Bed
Due to Nicole’s weak condition, after she had finished speaking on the phone, she drifted off to sleep in a daze.
Colton went to the guest room next door and took a bath himself before lying down in bed.

However, after tossing and turning around for more than an hour, he still couldn’t fall asleep. He got up a little irritably and rubbed his messy hair. Lowering his eyes and falling into thought for a moment, he finally made his way to the room where Nicole was sleeping.
At that moment, the sky was completely dark. As the curtains in the room were not completely drawn, gaps of moonlight were able to peek through.
The moonlight shone brightly on her, and her pale face looked even more sickly.
Colton stretched out his hand and touched her forehead, only to find that she was having a slight fever.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking about it, it made sense. In such cold weather, she endured the cold wind and was drenched in cold water. It would be strange if she didn’t have a fever.

Annie was already asleep, so Colton didn’t bother her.
Thus, he took a few cool patches and applied them on Nicole’s body. After spending a night taking care of her, her fever finally subsided past midnight.
The next morning, Nicole woke up bleary-eyed, feeling unrested. Last night, she only felt that her body was heavy and uncomfortable, and she vaguely remembered that someone was taking care of her by her side…
The moment she opened her hazy eyes, she immediately saw a man’s muscled chest.
Nicole’s brain froze in an instant, but before she could think, her body moved first.

Her entire body strength went to her leg as she kicked the man off the bed without any hesitation.
Colton was sleeping soundly when his body suddenly hurt. The next thing he knew, he was sent flying.
Just like this, he was kicked awake.
Colton was kicked to the ground, and his butt fell on the ground first. A sharp pain came from his behind, and his mind, which was still hazy with drowsiness, instantly sobered.
Last night, as he was taking care of Nicole, he only fell asleep at around 4 o’clock in the morning. Now, he was kicked out of bed before he woke up. No matter how good his temper was, he still felt a little angry.
However, looking at Nicole who had shrunk into the bed with the quilt in her arms, Colton still held back his anger.
He rubbed his behind and got up slowly. It seemed that he had taken care of Nicole until too late last night, so he had gotten into bed in a daze. After all, this was his own room.
When Nicole saw clearly who the person in front of her was, her expression turned stunned, and she stared at Colton with a pair of bright eyes. It was only after a long moment of hesitation that she managed to speak, uttering, “P-President Gardner…”
She was a little confused. What was going on? Why was Colton in her bed?
Colton had no idea how he got into bed and slept with Nicole either. It was probably because he was too tired last night, and he climbed into bed in a drowsy daze.
He rubbed his nose embarrassedly and explained, “You had a fever last night, so I took care of you all night.”
Nicole looked at Colton’s tall body, and then glanced down at herself. Fortunately, both of them were neatly dressed.

Although she was well-versed in business, she was still an amateur in relationships, save for that one night. Of course, she hadn’t shared a bed with a man either. Though her reaction was a little exaggerated, it was still understandable. To think Colton took care of me until the dead of the night, and I kicked him off the bed just like that… It feels like I’m being ungrateful here.
Colton glanced down at Nicole. After recovering from her sickness, her complexion looked much better and was not as pallid as the previous night. The culprit that had kicked him, her white and tender feet, were still exposed outside the quilt.
Along with the kick earlier, it seemed that she had almost recovered her strength.
“It’s fine as long as you’re alright,” Colton said graciously.
Nicole felt guilty when she saw how big-hearted Colton was. She pushed the blanket away and got out of bed, wanting to walk to Colton and apologize properly to him.
However, unexpectedly, the effects of the medicine last night coupled with the overnight fever made her weak. Even though she could stand up, she was still not strong enough to walk.
As she stepped forward with one foot, she had no strength in her legs. As a result, her knees gave out, causing her to lose balance and fall forward.
