SWNOVELS Chapter 60: Zac Had A Fever
Once again, Patricia handed the document over to Zac.This time, he didn't throw them aside.Instead, he attentively read it
through.Seeing this, Patricia breathed a sigh of relief.
She was worried that Zac would continue making excuses to get out of dealing with this matter.A satisfied smile appeared on
Patricia's face.
She was very confident that she could win over Zac's signature so long as he read through the plan in its entirety.
Just when she was becoming hopeful that things would proceed smoothly, Zac suddenly put down the document, stretched
himself, and said gently, "I have to go to take a shower.I'll read this afterward."
He then immediately stood up and walked off in the direction of the bathroom, leaving no chance for Patricia to say anything.
Seeing this, Patricia couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief.
She stood up too, stunned that he'd pulled another fast one on her.
"Zac, you are a bastard!" Patricia roared.
With her fists clenched, she glared at Zac's receding figure.
Zac had intended to play a trick on her.
This was his plan from the start! However, she was not willing to leave like that.
Zac had almost signed the contract, so she couldn't back out now at this crucial moment.
Raising her chin slightly and clenching her fists tightly, she took a few deep breaths and muttered to herself, "Calm down.I can't
let all my effort thus far go to waste over something as trivial as this."
She told herself this over and over again to slowly calm herself down.
Then she fixed her eyes on the bathroom door.
She'd made up her mind to tackle Zac as soon as he exited the bathroom and persuade him to sign the contract.
She didn't want to be taken for a fool any longer.
However, after waiting quite a while, Zac still didn't come out.
Frowning, Patricia walked over to the bathroom, raised her hand, and knocked on the door calling out for him, "Zac!"
She heard no response from the other side of the door.
With her heart in her mouth, she started panicking and wondering if everything was okay with Zac.
"Zac, are you still inside? Zac! Zac!" Patricia shouted as she rapped on the glass door.
But no matter how hard she shouted, no sound could be heard from inside.
Helpless, she had no choice but to break into the room to check on him.
When she saw Zac in the bathtub with his eyes closed, she couldn't help but scream.
She quickly walked over and put her finger under his nose.
Feeling his even breathing, Patricia exhaled a breath of relief.
"Fortunately, he's just fainted," she whispered.
Noticing the unusual blush on Zac's face, Patricia touched his forehead subconsciously.
Feeling how hot his forehead was, she withdrew her hand.
"Why is it so hot? Does Zac have a fever?"
Realizing this, Patricia patted his face and gently uttered, "Zac, wake up.Wake up, quickly."
He would be in danger if he remained here.
At the moment, her thoughts were filled with Zac.She was worried that he could become seriously ill if he remained like this.
After calling out to him several times, Zac then showed some movement. In a daze, he opened his eyes and looked at Patricia.
He seemed confused and in disbelief that she was here with him.
"Patricia, why are you here again? And what's wrong with me recently? I'm always dreaming of you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zac gave her a boyish smile, which confused Patricia.
Patricia was left stunned for a few moments after seeing that smile.
Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she was now the one in disbelief.Her cherry mouth trembled slightly.
As she was about to say something, Zac fainted again.
"Zac!" she shrieked.
It had taken her a while to wake him up, and now he was unconscious again.Feeling his body temperature slowly increasing,
Patricia frowned and looked disconcerted.
‘Zac's life would be in danger if he remains in the tub, so I need to move him to the bedroom.’ Taking note of what she had to do,
she began to take action.
With her slender arms in the water, she quickly grabbed Zac's strong arms, pulled him out, and supported him on her back.
When his body came in contact with hers, she blushed for an instant.
This was the first time that she had taken the initiative to touch a man's body! "What should I do now?"
Patricia murmured in embarrassment.
She was stuck in a dilemma.
Thinking about the current situation, she shook her head to clear her mind and comforted herself by saying, "Don't think about
it.Just get him to the bed first!"
Supporting Zac's heavy body with her own, she carried Zac out of the bathroom and into the living room.
Fortunately, she cleaned this house before, so she knew precisely where his bedroom lay.
"You are so heavy!" she exclaimed.
Finally reaching hisroom, she laid Zac down on his bed.
Exhausted, she stretched out her body for a while as she gathered her strength and breath.
But before she could catch her breath, a strong arm suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her backward.
Before she could react, she glimpsed Zac's cold face close to her.
"Zac!"
Patricia couldn't help but screech in astonishment.
Looking at Zac's flushed face, she had to wonder whether he was faking it or not.
Putting aside those thoughts in her mind, she knew that the most important thing now was to wake Zac up and make him sign
the contract.
"Zac, wake up!"
There was no response from Zac.
He just snuggled closer to her and put his muscular arms around her waist, a content look expressed on his face.
Seeing this, Patricia tried to break away, but her strength was not as great as his.
After several attempts, sweat began to break out on her forehead, but she was still unable to break free from Zac's grip.
Eventually, she had to give up on that tactic.
She decided instead to try a different approach.
Gently caressing his face, she spoke softly, "Zac, wake up.Let go of me quickly.You are pressing on me."
However, Zac didn't hear her at all.He was still immersed in his own enjoyment. He kept hugging her, his face drawing closer and
closer.
"Zac, get away from me!" Patricia couldn't help but cry out upon seeing Zac's face so close to hers.
Furrowing her brows, she slapped him hard on the face.
‘Zac must have done this on purpose.This was his strategy to keep me at the Oakleaf Villa from the beginning.’ Thinking of this,
Patricia bit her lower lip and glared at Zac with anger.
She yelled again, completely forgetting about the fact that he was sick.
"Zac, stop pretending to be ill.Wake up, quickly!"
Hearing Patricia's scream, Zac slowly opened his eyes.He frowned, and a blue vein appeared on his forehead.He shouted in
rage, "Patricia!"
‘Why was she so stubborn? Here I am, sick, and she doesn't seem to care about me at all.Instead, she keeps yelling at me!’
"Zac, let go of me!" A hint of anger dashed across Patricia's cold face as she glared at Zac.
She was still trying to break free from his grip, her slender hands tugging at his strong arms, causing a few scratch marks to
accidentally appear on his firm chest.
