The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 282 - 279

Joanna tried to shake off the drowsiness in her head.She was no ordinary woman and rarely fell sick.She could not have collapsed just because of the cold wind.

This would make her a joke! Mr.Q stood beside her with a gloomy face and put the back of his hand on her forehead, then ordered, "Stop acting tough when you are burning up this badly, you idiot!"

’-Idiot?"

Despite the dizziness, Joanna turned to the man and felt some indescribable feelings in her heart.

Apart from Ace, this man was the second person who dared to call her an idiot.He also had a domineering aura that she had only ever felt on Ace.

She was considered assertive and headstrong, but still helplessly turned into an obedient woman under the powerful aura of this man...

"Are you having a fever, Mommy? Do you feel very sick? Let me blow it away for you and see if you will feel better."

Abby was so worried that she hugged her.She blew on her face trying to cool her down.

Joanna quickly dodged her and said to Nancy, "Don’t worry about me, Nancy.Just take care of Abby, and don’t let her near me.She has a weak immune system, and it’ll be bad if she gets infected."

"That’s right.Abby’s immune system is weak.She gets infected every time any of you catches a cold.I should isolate her from you properly this time."

Nancy quickly pulled Abby far away from Joanna while feeling concerned about her.

"But you..."

"Don’t worry.I will take care of her."

Though Mr.Q always did not show much expression on his face, his mature and steady composure could somehow convince people that he was very reliable.

Nancy hesitated but nodded in the end.

"Well then.I will cook some concoction for Miss Joan, and please make sure she drinks it later, and thank you."

Then, she brought Abby to another room.

Joanna’s head was dizzy, and her body was limp, but she did not want to show her weakness to the man in front of her, so she stood up and said loudly, "Alright.You should go on with your work.You don’t have to take care of me.I will recover after taking a nap.I..."

Just as she wanted to step forward, her legs gave out.

She fell straight down, but luckily the man reacted fast enough and wrapped his arm around her slim waist.

Their bodies pressed against each other in an embarrassing posture.

"You are also a part of this project.I have finished inspecting the island, and I am very satisfied with it.Now, I am inspecting you."

The dark and deep eyes behind the mask gazed at the woman.

"What are you inspecting me for?"

Joanna looked fatigued.She felt like her brain had turned into mush, slowing her reaction and failing her guesses as to what the man meant.

"I am assessing if your project is worth my money."

He then picked her up and asked, "Where is your bedroom? I will send you to your room so you can rest."

"You don’t have to do that.My legs are fine, I can walk myself."

Joanna blushed even more.

No one knew if it was because of the fever or if she was too embarrassed.

Though she had guessed that this man had a crush on her, she was still flustered when he started taking action.

"Stop wasting your energy.I will not fall for you.You should change your target.All I want from you is your money.I..."

"You are thinking too much," said the man nonchalantly, "I am just worried that the deal will be off once you die."

"Huh? I-is that so..."

"So, where is your room?"

Joanna wished that this man would care less about her.She was only having a cold, not paralysis or something of that manner.She really did not want him to carry her into her bedroom.

Besides, how could a man simply enter the bedroom of a woman? Nevertheless, she felt really weak now and had little energy to resist.

All that was on her mind now was that she wanted to lie down and sleep, so she pointed to the staircase and said, "The first room on the second floor."

And the man carried her to the bedroom on the second floor.

Joanna’s bedroom and her personality were rather contradictory.

The room was all pink and light blue, piled with all sorts of dolls and figures.

A lace curtain hung circumferentially over the bed in the middle of the room, giving the room a beautiful dreamlike ambiance.

"I can imagine that you look as cranky as a tyrannosaurus but actually have a maiden’s heart."

Mr.Q put Joanna on her bed and wandered around her room.

Joanna’s head throbbed, and she said in annoyance, "You can go about your business if there is nothing else.You don’t have to stay here."

"No can do.I have promised Nancy to take good care of you."

"I don’t need you to do that for me.I will be alright after taking a nap."

"Then you can sleep, and I shall carry on strolling."

The man bent down and started examining the models placed on the piano.

Joanna was very irritated and wanted to kick the ignorant man out of her room.But for the sake of the contract, she could only put up with it.

So she pulled the blanket over her head and fell asleep.

While sleeping, she vaguely heard Nancy coming in and out of the room.

"Are you alright?"She heard Mr.Q’s cold, crisp voice through the blanket.Joanna was too hot and weak to care about him, so she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

"Nancy has boiled you some concoction.Drink it before you fall asleep again."

Mr.Q sat beside her bed with a bowl of steaming concoction in his hand.He was blowing on it to cool it down a bit.

Joanna was still curling up under the blanket like a kitten, not wanting to face the outside world.

Or to be precise, she did not want to face this very annoying rich man she could not afford to offend! "If you can’t drink it yourself, I don’t mind feeding you," said the man leisurely while looking at the woman who was playing dead.

Joanna rolled her eyes.

’Tsk, what a dishonest man.

Why is he still not admitting that he likes me when he is being so attentive?’ She wanted to know how he would feed her if she did not show her head.

The next second, Mr.Q pulled away the blanket covering Joanna’s head, sipped the concoction, and leaned forward.

Joanna instantly sobered up from drowsiness and backed up in fear.

"What...what are you trying to do?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The man was silent with the concoction in his mouth.His deep eyes were very serious.His intention was more than obvious.

Joanna gulped and surrendered.

"You win.I will drink it."

Mr.Q smiled in satisfaction.

He swallowed the concoction in his mouth and said softly, "Don’t try to be a hero when you’re sick.Isn’t it good sometimes to be obedient?"

Joanna shuddered at his words, feeling nauseating.She nearly vomited when she took the bowl and smelled the concoction.

"Nancy’s concoction smells so awful.I really don’t want to drink it.My body is strong and does not need this.I will recover once I’ve taken a nap."

"No more bargaining.Drink it."
