My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 233

When Skadi saw that Cillian was ignoring her, she immediately put her hand on her forehead and pretended to have a headache. “I… feel dizzy…”

Only then did Cillian look up, his dark pupils seemingly containing the galaxies of the universe. His single glance made Skadi feel as if her ruse had been broken.

Skadi thought to herself as she snuck a look at Cillian, ‘He… didn’t see through me, did he?’

“Once you’re done with your medicine, get some rest.

Cillian’s voice was magnetic. His long and well-defined fingers held the spoon as he fed the unpleasant-tasting medicine to Skadi’s lips.

Skadi felt as if her heartbeat was going wild.

She was taken with nice voices, appearances, and hands. Father Cillian possessed them all.

This was the head priest of Quiet Winds Church who captured the hearts and dreams of countless women.

She opened her mouth gently to drink the concoction. Her eyes were locked onto Father Cillian’s handsome face, and she found it hard to look away.

Skadi blushed when she recalled how the male protagonist of a TV show had fed the unconscious female protagonist medicine using his mouth.

She was now slightly regretting sitting up now.

If she had pretended to be seriously injured, would Father Cillian be like the protagonist from that TV show?

Looking at Father Cillian’s thin lips through the corners of her eyes, Skadi subconsciously gulped.

Cillian could no longer endure Skadi’s gaze. After putting the medicine bowl down on the bedside table, he got up and said, “Miss Zabel, it looks like color has returned to your face, and you’re full of energy. Rest for a few days and you’ll be sure to recover. I’ll take my leave first.”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

He had only gotten to the door when he heard Skadi suddenly shout from behind him.

He stopped in his tracks and turned around, only to see that she had fallen to the ground with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.

Cillian frowned. He hesitated for a moment before walking back helplessly.

The day passed quickly, and Cillian left the Zabels’ villa early.

After Skadi had taken the holistic medicine, her body temperature rose to 40 degrees.

Nash explained that it was a normal reaction after one drank the medicine and that it was caused by the active cells in the body.

Everyone was on tentérhooks. Zakariah even thought that Nash was just trying to comfort him.

Justin never came back. Zakariah had called him several times to remind him, but it was useless.

The Zabels’ housekeeper made dinner.

Those from the Hero Martial Arts School took up three tables along with the other relatives and friends of the Zabel family.

Just when dinner was about to begin, Nash suddenly received a call from Olivia.

“Would you

like to come to the Chateau Hotel for dinner?”

Nash looked perplexed. “I’m afraid not. I’m already having dinner now.”

“My grandfather isn’t feeling well. I’d like to ask you to take a look at him, Mr. Calcraft,” Olivia said worriedly.

“I see. I’ll head over once I’m done with dinner,” Nash replied hesitantly.

Hera was sitting next to Nash. When she heard what Olivia said, she quickly looked at Nash and said, “Mr. Lee wasn’t doing well when he celebrated his birthday last time. You should hurry over and have a look!”

Nash nodded and asked, “Is the old man at the Chateau Hotel or the Lees’ residence?”

“The hotel.”

“Alright, then I’ll go over right away.”

Nash took a sip of his drink and left the Zabels’ residence.

After dinner, Brian proceeded to cook more medicine for Skadi. Lauren and Harrison had missed work that day and planned to go to work overtime. After they thanked Zakariah repeatedly, he then sent them off outside. Hera and Bianca took turns taking care of Skadi.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Soon, it was 12 o’clock. Brian then started developing a new holistic medicine.

Hera came down from the second floor, face pale as she said, “Dr. Tanner, Skadi’s high fever hasn’t gone down. It won’t cause any complications, right?”
