The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 508: Chapter 508 Lonely Men and Women_1

Recalling the fleeting kiss just moments ago, Zhou Jiumei’s heart immediately began to race, and her complexion grew even rosier.

She couldn’t help but raise her little fist and waved it in the direction of Greg Jensen, snorting, “Stinky man, taking advantage of me when you had the chance!”

In fact, she wasn’t unreasonable and knew that, under those circumstances, what Greg Jensen did was the right choice.

But still, it was her first kiss.

Having taken someone’s first kiss, was she not allowed to vent a little?

...

Greg Jensen was still in a deep sleep, showing no response to her “indignation.”

Zhou Jiumei stood up and stretched, noticing that her body was no longer in any serious pain, she couldn’t help but marvel inwardly at the miraculous medicine Barry Wolfe had given her.

She hadn’t been far from the blast and her injuries had certainly been serious, yet she had recovered so quickly.

Thinking back to when Barry Wolfe produced healing pills at the Martial Way exchange meeting that were even better than those from Healington, she felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Could this guy also be an Alchemist?

Zhou Jiumei looked at Greg Jensen curiously, then remembered the way Barry Wolfe had looked at her when they first met, and her cheeks flushed once more.

Staring at the flickering flames, she couldn’t help but zone out.

“Mmm…”

It was unknown how long had passed when a soft grunt suddenly broke the silence of the cave.

Zhou Jiumei jumped, looking up only to see Greg Jensen murmuring incoherently, seemingly in a dream.

“Is he… talking in his sleep?”

Zhou Jiumei felt something was amiss and slowly stood up, walking over to check on him by placing a hand on his forehead.

“Feverish? How is that possible? How can a Grandmaster have a fever?”

A Grandmaster’s physique was stronger than an average person’s, and they were not prone to falling ill under normal circumstances.

Zhou Jiumei was startled then suddenly realized that, at the time of the explosion, Greg Jensen had been at the epicenter, and his injuries must have been severe.

Moreover, he had given her the only Healing Pill, and his fever must undoubtedly have been caused by internal injuries.

Thinking this, Zhou Jiumei became somewhat panicked.

She quickly patted Greg Jensen’s face, calling out, “Mr. Wolfe, Mr. Wolfe, wake up…”

However, no matter how much she called, Greg Jensen showed no response whatsoever.

“What should I do now?”

Zhou Jiumei was extremely anxious but at a loss for what to do. After hesitating, she decided to remove Greg Jensen’s clothes first.

Both of them had climbed out of the river, and their clothes were soaked through. Wearing the wet clothes would only speed up the loss of body heat; it would be better to take them off and dry them.

Once Zhou Jiumei made up her mind, but as she looked at Greg Jensen’s ragged clothing, she hesitated again.

Even though the two of them were in a perilous situation and shouldn’t be overly concerned with proprieties, there was still a difference between men and women, and the idea of suddenly undressing a man made her feel shy.

Looking at Greg Jensen’s pale face and thinking of how he had given her the only elixir, Zhou Jiumei bit her lip, suppressing the embarrassment in her heart, and took off Greg Jensen’s clothes.

What Greg Jensen wore could no longer be called clothes, but rather rags, which fell apart at the lightest pull.

Seeing Greg Jensen in only his shorts, Zhou Jiumei felt her cheeks burning hot, as if they were on fire.

“The shorts are wet too, should I take them off?”

Zhou Jiumei looked at the bare Greg Jensen and found herself conflicted again.

After a long while, she finally made up her mind; had it not been for Barry Wolfe’s aid, she would probably be dead by now.

To say nothing of taking off a pair of shorts, what would it matter if she offered herself to him?

Without any further hesitation, she went to Greg Jensen’s side and slowly slid down his shorts.

And then…

Her eyes widened with curiosity, and the expression on her face shifted from surprise to amazement…

“Cough cough…”

Zhou Jiumei coughed lightly, feeling awkward, she turned her head away, facing away from Greg Jensen, and began to roast the pair of shorts, which were still somewhat intact.

After holding them up for a while, her hand started to feel sore, so she found a few sticks and set the shorts up on them.

Right after she finished setting it up, she heard a groggy voice from behind her.

“What did you say?”

Zhou Jiumei didn’t hear clearly, so she moved closer and asked again.

“So cold.”

With his eyes tightly shut, Greg Jensen’s brows were furrowed together, and his pale lips trembled ceaselessly.

Zhou Jiumei felt a chill in her heart, touched his forehead again, and found that his fever had become even worse; her heart immediately sank.

“What should I do? If this fever continues, even if he doesn’t die, he’ll be ruined.”

Zhou Jiumei steeled her heart and quickly stripped off her own clothes, holding Greg Jensen’s bare body in her arms.

She had heard that when two people hug each other, they can warm each other and regulate their body temperature to normal.

She didn’t know if it would work, but it was the only thing she could do right now.

Feeling the burning heat of his body, Zhou Jiumei’s heart seemed to harbor a little deer, thumping uncontrollably.

She subconsciously buried her head in Greg Jensen’s chest, and to her surprise, smelling that masculine scent made her heartbeat speed up even more.

Wanting to distract herself, she picked up a stick and started to fiddle with her clothes, spreading them out beside the fire so they would heat evenly.

After everything was done, Zhou Jiumei had run out of energy and lay on Greg Jensen, breathing lightly.

She intended to close her eyes and rest for a while, but soon after she shut them, she fell back into a deep sleep.

Time passed, the fire gradually diminished, and Greg Jensen, feeling the cold biting him, suddenly opened his eyes.

When he was about to add more wood to the fire, he suddenly discovered he was holding someone in his arms.

“What’s this?”

Greg Jensen, utterly bewildered, could feel the softness of the body in his arms and couldn’t help feeling a stir of emotion.

At that moment, Zhou Jiumei also opened her eyes.

Their eyes met, and both awkwardly turned away.

“You’re… you’re awake?”

Zhou Jiumei hurriedly got up, walked aside, and, without turning her head, whispered into the darkness, “Are you feeling any better?”

“Yeah, much better.”

Greg’s face was also a little hot. He glanced at the dying fire and quickly reminded her, “The fire is nearly out, add some wood, will you?”

“Ah, right… okay.”

Zhou Jiumei was about to go and add firewood when suddenly she thought of something, and her cheeks grew even more flushed.

Seeing that she hadn’t moved for a while, Greg Jensen couldn’t help but feel puzzled, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s… It’s nothing. Could you please… close your eyes first?”

“Oh, sure.” @@novelbin@@

Greg Jensen smiled at the request and then obediently closed his eyes.

After a while, Zhou Jiumei peeked at him, and seeing that his eyes were truly closed, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over.

She picked up several thick branches, split them in the middle, and added them to the fire.

Greg Jensen, hearing the noise, quietly opened his eyes and admired the flawless body before him.

After watching for a while, he suddenly felt that his behavior was somewhat underhanded and quickly shut his eyes again.
