The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 605

Finally, Ace decided to go out for a walk for some fresh air and relaxation.

The hotel he chose had a nice environment and was designed in a typical

Southeast Aeos style. The garden was filled with tropical plants like palm trees and cactus, and looked like a primaeval forest.

Ace was wandering in the garden when he saw a familiar figure—it was none other than Joanna.

"Joan..." He was about to call her name, but soon realised that she was sleepwalking. He then secretly followed her from a distance to observe her condition.

She stood before a large cactus and squatted down, then whispered to the cactus, "Little porcupine, don’t be scared. I like you very much and I won’t hurt you. Can I take a needle from you? Why do you have so many of them? Let me take all of them out for you, okay? One, two, three..." While talking, she plucked out the cactus needles.

Ace fought back laughter at her serious expression. ’This woman is hilarious! How could she mistake the cactus for a porcupine? She even wants to pluck out all of its needles. She’s so cute.’

Ace did not dare to wake her up for her own safety. He even held his breath for fear of scaring her.

"Four, five, six..." Meanwhile, Joanna had plucked a lot of cactus needles and placed them in her hand. She then said with satisfaction, "I now have porcupine needles to protect myself. There’s nothing to fear!"

"Pfft!" Ace failed to hold his laughter back, and quickly covered his mouth. Joanna turned to him gloomily and pouted. "You’re a bad guy. You must want to steal my needles. I’ll stab you, villain!"

"What the heck?"

"I’m going to stab you, you crook!" After that, she tried to stab his arm with the cactus needle.

"Ouch!" He was stabbed for no reason, and the pain made him jump. Before he could scream, he covered his mouth firmly. ’Damn it, it’s so painful!’

Luckily, Joanna stopped after that. She happily held the cactus needles and muttered, "I don’t have to be afraid of Ace anymore. I’ll stab him if he makes me sad!"

Ace stared at her, speechless. Now he was wondering if she did it on purpose. Did she hate him so much that she even tried to come up with ways to deal with him while she was sleepwalking?

After playing for a while, she cradled the needles, got into the elevator, and returned to her room.

Ace was worried about her, so he followed her. While walking, he felt like something was wrong with his body...

Enter title... "Damn it, it must be because of that perfume!" Ace held the door and wiped away the sweat on his forehead, trying his best to control his breathing.

He stood at the door, wondering whether he should enter the room.

If he left, he was worried that she might hurt herself.

But if he entered the room, he might hurt her more.

Joanna eventually bumped into a pillar, and woke up with a start.

She looked around, confused, then stared at the cactus needles in her hand.

"Where am I? What am I doing?" "Joanna, you’re... awake?" Ace swallowed and asked her urgently.

Surprised, Joanna turned around and looked at Ace, whose face was twisted in pain.

She quickly rushed over and supported him, asking in concern, "Ace, what’s the matter with you? Why is your body so hot and your face so flushed? Are you having a fever?" "Don’t touch me!" Ace pushed her away as sweat rolled down his throat.

He was aware of the changes in his body, and it was getting increasingly difficult to control his urges.

If he did not push her away, he would have taken her there and then.

"What’s the matter? Tell me so I can help you..." Joanna figured he was drunk, and let him lean on her as said comfortingly, "Come to my room.

I have an antipyretic in my bag." "I told you not to touch me! You’re digging your own grave..." Ace snarled, breathing heavily.

"This isn’t the first time I’ve done this.

Your skin is so hot, I can’t leave you or your condition might get worse.

What if you get meningitis and become brain-dead from the fever?" Joanna held Ace tightly and dragged him into the room, then helped him to lie on the sofa.

Carrying Ace was no easy task, and she was now panting and covered in sweat.

The thin white top she was wearing clung to her sticky body, making her look very tempting.

Ace was already struggling to stifle his urges, and when he saw her, a wave of desire overwhelmed him.

He clenched his fists tightly and turned away, forcing himself to not look at her.

He gritted his teeth and bit out, "You... go to bed.

This is nothing; I’ll get better soon." Generally, this kind of perfume would only last for an hour or two.

Everything would be fine as long as she wasn’t around him.

"The consequences will be very serious if your fever isn’t treated right away.

Don’t take it lightly.

I can’t leave you alone when you’re suffering like this." While talking, she put the back of her hand against his forehead.

She then frowned and said, "You’re burning up.

I have to bring down your fever.

Lie down... I’ll grab the medicine." She got up and opened the bag she carried with her and took out the antipyretic she always had with her.

Then, she poured a glass of warm water and returned to the living room.

In the meantime, Ace had torn off his tie and unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his toned body.

"What... What are you doing?" Joanna took a deep breath and looked away, trying not to let her thoughts run wild.

She knew he wasn’t well, but the enticing picture he painted was now burned in her mind.

She carefully went to him with her head turned away as she handed him the antipyretic and warm water.

"Here... This medicine is very effective.

Take it first so you can bring down your fever." "No, it’s fine..." Ace put away the glass of water and medicine and got up unsteadily.

His dilated pupils locked on her as he pulled her into his arms and growled, "I’d rather have you instead."
