Chapter 31: You Kissed Me
Hazel told Joshua about her concerns, but she didn’t have any hope. She had not expected Joshua to call the restaurant downstairs and find out that Sarah was there.
Joshua and Hazel found Sarah and gave her a simple explanation of the situation. Sarah and Hazel had a good friendship, so she was willing to help.
Suddenly, Hazel recalled another memory, it was of an unhappy look that Joshua had earlier.
Forget it and don’t think about it, she told herself.
She touched her hot cheeks. Each time she thought of Joshua, the missing fragments related to him continued to come to her mind.
She actually...had she really done so many shameful things? She was truly embarrassed to show her face around him.
Just forget about it! She was squeezing her lips tightly together with embarrassment.
Even after Hazel got home from the restaurant, she cleaned her room, thinking it would help to distract her before bed. However, it was harder to forget these things than she thought. She tossed and turned all night.
Although she was exhausted, Hazel still had to go to class. She struggled to climb out of bed.
When she got to the bottom of the stairs, she saw Jaxson waiting by the door.
Seeing Jaxson, Hazel still felt a bit guilty about hitting the wrong person. Even though she had already apologized, she felt she should do it again.
"Mr. Hunk, I just want to apologize again. Is there a reason you are here?" She was so embarrassed she could hardly speak.
"Miss Crowe, Mr. President sent me to see how you were feeling,” Jaxson said politely, "If you are not feeling well, he would like me to take you to the hospital."
"I am feeling fine, I’m not sick," Hazel asked awkwardly. "Why would he randomly ask how I am feeling?"
"I am not completely sure." Jaxson frowned. "But Mr. President has a fever today. It's quite serious. He didn't even go to work. He requested that I come to check on you."
"Ah?" Hazel felt extremely guilty. Joshua had a fever, and it could have been because of her?
After all, yesterday, she forced him to take a cold shower with her.
The weather was getting colder now, and it was easy to catch a cold.
"Miss, why don't you come to see Mr. President with me?" Jaxson proposed. Hazel has some hesitation, "but I still have to go to class..."
"Miss, Mr. President was looking for you yesterday. He came back with a fever," Jaxson said with a dignified look. "I don't know what happened between the two of you, but the president is sick because of you. If you don't go see him, don't you feel you are a little ruthless?"
Hazel bursts into tears. She really didn't know how to face Joshua. But... she owed him a big favor, there was really no reason not to go.
"Okay..." She looked at Jaxson, "but you have to promise to bring me back."
"Of course," Jaxson agreed. "The president is ill. If he wants to send you home, I will not make you uncomfortable.” Hazel nodded and followed Jaxson to his car.
Joshua lived in the Clear River Residence Community, a special wealthy villa area of the city.
Hazel was standing outside awkwardly. She was not mentally prepared when Jaxson rang the doorbell.
An old woman with graying hair opened the door. She doesn't look young, but her spirit is not bad.
"Jaxson, are you coming in? Are you here to see Joshua? Come in." The old woman said with a smile, he was apparently well-known to her.
Jaxson walked in with Hazel, and the old woman's eyes fell on Hazel's body. She was inexplicably stunned. "This is..."
"Hello, my name is Hazel. I am Joshua's friend..." Hazel hesitated and finally said.
The old woman's eyes got bright. Almost all the people who come here are called Joshua Mr. President. Only Hazel called him by his name.
"Hello, I am the servant here, you can call me Nanny Carter." Nanny Carter smiled and asked, "Hazel, how old are you?"
"22," Hazel replied truthfully. Nanny Carter was very kind to her, and she did not feel any hostility.
"22..." Nanny Carter seemed to be a little sad. If the child were still alive, it would be this age.
"Nanny Carter?" Hazel looked at her nervously. "Did I say something wrong?"
"No." Nanny Carter regained her awareness, and she smiled. "I was thinking of some things. Come with me, I will take you to see Mr. President."
Hazel felt awkward and wanted to refuse, but Nanny Carter had already taken her by the arm, and she could only follow Nanny Carter upstairs.
"This is the room of Mr. President." Nanny Carter knocked on the door, and she suddenly said, "Oh, I just remembered, the fire in the kitchen is still on. Hazel, can you help me by taking this medication for him and you must watch him take it. He is not afraid of anything except taking medicine.”
As she said that, Nanny Carter put the medicine into Hazel's hand and rushed back downstairs.
Hazel was standing in the doorway of Joshua's room, and suddenly the door opened. She looked up into his eyes.
Joshua looked at Hazel standing at the door, and he was stunned. He reached out and pulled Hazel in, and closed the door.
"Joshua," Hazel handed the medicine to him, "Nanny Carter let me... Emm!"
Before she could finish her words, Joshua leaned down and kissed her lips abruptly.
Hazel was angry. She tried to push him away, but he held her tightly to him.
The warm kiss was a little overbearing, and he kept twirling on her lips. So, she bit hard on his lip!
"... um!" Joshua sighed, took a breath, and let go of her, looking a little surprised and stunned, "Hazel?"
"Asshole!" Hazel raised her hand in anger.
But before her palm fell on his face, Joshua lost his strength and leaned on her.
"Hey...you!" Hazel was so angry she could have strangled him. After kissing her, this guy fainted, did this make any sense?
She helplessly moved Joshua to the bed.
Looking at his closed eyes, Hazel reached out and slapped his face. "You kissed me, you kissed me..."
Hazel stopped and frowned, she reached out and touched his forehead. His forehead was hot, and it seemed that he actually fainted.
"I guess I owe you!" Hazel said angrily. She turned around and walked into the bathroom.
Hazel wetted the towel with cold water and placed it on his forehead.
Joshua grunted and slowly opened his eyes. He was surprised and looked at Hazel in front of him, then unconsciously extended his arm.
Smack…Hazel did not hesitate to hit his groping hand. She said sharply, "If you try to touch me, believe it or not, I will kill you!”
Joshua looked even more confused. He said something that Hazel was not expecting, “I am not dreaming?”
"Come, take your medicine first, and then you will know if you are dreaming." Hazel handed the medicine to him.
