Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick)

Chapter 3356 With A Kiss

Megan grew increasingly frustrated at Jake's continuous rejections. She clenched her teeth angrily as Jake wasn't appreciative of her care.

I would've dumped the pills and left if I were upset. Jake's in his twenties. Why does he need someone to persuade him to take medicine?

Megan wondered why the meeting was so important to him. She shook her head to dismiss that thought. After all, she would leave once Jake take the medicine.

Staring at the pills in her palms, she racked her brains to figure out a way so he'd take it. Suddenly, a brilliant idea occurred to her.

Megan took the glass of water, the gloom on her face all gone. She arched a brow before pouring the pills into her mouth in one go.

Since he refuses to take the pills, I shall force him to take them.

She was beaming in delight as she grabbed Jake's chin and pressed her lips to his deftly. Then, she held his throat up to force him to swallow the contents.

Her action took Jake by surprise. He sat up and coughed violently until tears rolled down his cheeks.

He stared at Megan in disbelief as his muddled brain caused him to see double. Gradually, Megan's face grew blurry.

He flopped back on the couch and used his arm to shield his eyes from the light. "I said I won't take the medicine," he uttered weakly.

Megan ignored him and retorted icily, "You have no choice. I'm a kind person. There's no way I'll stand by idly as you die in front of my eyes."

Her concern was long gone after he rejected her repeatedly.

He'd rather die than take the medicine, she huffed silently.

Jake could sense anger radiating off Megan's being. He tugged her wrist carefully, unlike the aloof man he used to be.

Megan packed up the remaining medicine and turned at her shoulder. Upon seeing his ghastly white complexion, her fury faded away.

He was ill, and Megan wasn't really mad. She was just slightly impatient at his refusal to cooperate.

Sighing, she held his hand and squatted beside the couch to dry his forehead cautiously.

As Megan glanced at the pores on his face, she uttered softly, "Don't be stubborn. You've already taken the meds, so it's time to have a good rest. I'll ask your secretary to reschedule it. If it isn't possible, you can do a video conference."

Jake's eyes were half-closed as he tried to take in what she was saying, but the exhaustion washed over him, and he slowly lost consciousness.

Seeing that he was finally falling asleep, Megan breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to pry his hand off her wrist carefully when Jake tightened his grip.

Stunned, Megan looked up and realized Jake was staring at her, his amber pupils glinting like a black cat at night.

"Sleep with me."

He was drifting asleep when Megan's movement woke him up. In this huge office, without Megan's scent around, he would be plagued with nightmares. Hence, he jolted awake by reflex before grabbing her hands instinctively.

"Sleep with you? But we're in your office. What's the matter with you? Can't you sleep alone?"

Megan was rendered speechless by his request. We're not at his house. What if someone else catches us in the act?

Jake merely lowered his gaze and shut his eyes without showing any trace of emotion.
