Stolen Kiss
"I don't think that's a good idea…"
"We'll be in the study room. Just call out to us if anything happens."
Charles was a lot more blunt with his words, whereas Harrison was smarter and knew how to best go about it.
Naturally, they didn't want to leave Derila alone in the room with Daemon as his safety was their ultimate priority.
Derila, on the other hand, was a mysterious person that they still knew nothing about.
There was no telling what ulterior motives she could be having.
However, Harrison knew she would only give in to persuasion and not coercion, so he decided to use a softer approach.
"Whatever, you guys can do as you wish."
Derila didn't seem to care and continued sleeping on the sofa.
"Hey! How could you—"
Charles was about to yell at her again, but Harrison quickly dragged him away before he could say anything further.
Harrison also got the other maids to exit the room, leaving only a single medical staff to clean up the wet towels and monitor Daemon's temperature.
"Let me know when his temperature reaches a hundred and two degrees…" Derila mumbled lazily as she lay down comfortably on the sofa.
"Yes, Master Feroma, " the medical staff replied politely.
Derila was extremely tired as she didn't get much sleep while nursing Snowy back to health a few days ago, and she had gone through an entire night without sleep last night as well.
As such, all she wanted at the moment was to get a good night's sleep.
The female medical staff continued to reduce Daemon's temperature with a wet towel while taking his temperature every thirty minutes.
Meanwhile, Charles was watching everything from the study room. His face was all red from anxiety when he saw Derila just sleeping there on the sofa.
"Sit down, will you? Stop pacing about like some trapped animal. Kerrie said his temperature hasn't gotten past a hundred and two degrees, so his condition isn't as serious as we thought. We should just wait here patiently, " Harrison said calmly.
"We spent so much money hiring her, and yet she's acting like she owns the d_mned place…" Charles ranted angrily.
"Mr. Lierger trusts her, so we have no choice…"
Having worked with Daemon for a long time, Harrison understood him very well.
He didn't like Derila either, but he had faith in her medical knowledge and skills.
Charles simply let out a huge sigh and said nothing further after that.
Time continued to tick by, and it was soon three in the morning.
"Master Feroma, Mr. Lierger's temperature has reached a hundred and two degrees!" Kerrie shouted in shock all of a sudden.
"What's going on?"
Harrison and Charles came rushing over immediately, but Derila was still sleeping on the sofa.
"Hey, Dr. Feroma! Dr. Feroma!" Harrison called out to her.
"Huh?" Derila rubbed her eyes in annoyance as she sat up straight.
"Master Feroma, Mr. Lierger's temperature has reached a hundred and two!" Kerrie repeated herself while holding the thermometer up to Derila's face.
Derila narrowed her eyes as she took a closer look at the thermometer. Seconds later, she became wide awake and ran over to touch Daemon's forehead. She even reached her hand into his shirt and touched his chest just to make sure.
Yup, he really is burning up…
"Prepare a glass of warm water!" Derila ordered.
"Coming right up!" Kerrie was about to go get the water, but Harrison was faster.
"I'll get it! You stay here and help Dr. Feroma out!" he shouted while pouring a glass of warm water.
Derila then placed a black-colored pill into Daemon's mouth and tried to wash it down with some water, but he wouldn't drink it no matter what.
"Shall we wake Mr. Lierger up?" Charles asked anxiously from the side.
"He's sleeping like a log right now, so waking him up won't be possible."
Derila continued to feed Daemon the water, but he just wouldn't swallow it.
Getting desperate, she pinched his nose and fed him the water orally instead.
"Ah!"
Harrison, Charles, and Kerrie were all stunned by what they had just witnessed.
Their eyes were wide with shock, and they had disbelief written all over their faces.
That kiss continued for over a minute before Derila finally got Daemon to swallow the pill.
Feeling relieved when she saw his throat moving, Derila filled her mouth with water again and forcefully fed it to Daemon a second time.
After that, she wiped the corner of her mouth with her sleeve and licked her lips like she just had a snack.
