115.Chapter 115 

Teresa was about to push Jonathan away, but she stopped when she touched his burning forehead

The driver spoke. Mr. Lynn has been overexerting himself. He barely got any sleep, cramming ten days of work into just seven. Of course his body can’t take it.” 

cramming ten days of work into jus 

Teresa pulled her hand back. Well, nobody forced him to do that.” 

The driver sighed. Mr. Lynn pushed himself this hard because he was desperate to get back to you, Ms. Johnston.” 

Jonathan, eyes still closed, muttered, Shut up.” 

The driver shut his mouth

When they arrived in Luviston Estates, Teresa and the driver helped the feverish and intoxicated Jonathan out of the car. She couldn’thelp but think, He was once so strong, but now he’s falling ill every other day.” 

The driver said, I won’t be staying; Mr. Lynn’s in your care now. I’ll be on my way.” 

Hey!Teresa called out, but the driver was already gone.. 

Teresa helped Jonathan into the master bedroom, tucked him under the blanket, and exited the room

When Jonathan finally came to, the room was still and silent. He felt his forehead, which was still burning

Are you there?he called out toward the door, but there was no reply

Was sick or 

Have you left?he muttered bitterly. It was always the same; whether he unconscious, he found himself alone. The one person he’d hoped would stay by his side forever had left

Just as he was about to close his eyes, the door creaked open. Teresa entered with a bowl of gruel. She set it down on the table beside him. It’s cooked to perfection this time

Jonathan stared at her for a few seconds before finally sitting up, coughing into his hand. I thought you had left

Because of you, Peter invested 30 million dollars in my business. So, making a simple meal for you is the least I can do to thank you,said Teresa

Jonathan took the bowl from her. He suddenly thought of something. Was there a power outage earlier? You didn’t overcook it this time?” 

No way! I’m not that silly!Teres. Successfully unlocked

You’re not exactly the brightest,” Jonathan joked

Teresa chuckled. Birds of a feather flock together. The fact that we were married

before shows you’re not that bright either.” 

Jonathan smiled, and, for once, chose not to argue with her

The cold medicine is still in the same place. Could you grab some for me?Jonathan placed the bowl down and folded his hands together

Teresa went to the living room, opened the drawer beneath the TV, and found the cold medicine exactly where it had always been

She handed it to Jonathan with a glass of water. If the medicine doesn’t help, have Donald come over.” 

Jonathan asked, What about you? Are you planning to leave again?” 

Teresa paused for a moment. I have work early tomorrow, and it’s a long commute from here to Norham.” 

I’ll cover your expenses, so just stay with me tonight,Jonathan said, coughing.When I came back, my mom arranged another blind date, but I turned her down.” 

Teresa nodded. Oh. You don’t have to tell me that.” 

Jonathan reclined against the headboard. I often think that if we had a child, I wouldnt have to go on blind dates. At least with a kid, my mom, would leave me alone.” 

Teresa’s gaze briefly flickered. Oh, I’m sorry for not giving you a child. But dealing with your mom is no longer my business now that I’m your exwife.” 

As she reached for the empty bowl, Jonathan’s gaze remained fixed on her. Before she could react, he grabbed her wrist, pulling her into his embrace

How about we have one now?he asked

Teresa’s heart skipped a beat. She could hear the rapid heartbeat, unsure if it was his or hers. She pushed him away. Are you crazy? Don’t get me sick too!” 

Jonathan tightened his grip around her. Just let me hold you. Let’s get some sleep.” 

Teresa was left speechless

Her back was almost against his chest, and she was painfully aware of how close they were; one wrong move, and she’d touch him

Later that night, she finally moved, realizing that one of his hands was on her waist. She looked over her shoulder, feeling his forehead. To her relief, his fever had subsided

In the end, she stayed the night and fell asleep curled up in his arms. The next morning, she rose early to cook gruel while he was still asleep

Jonathan soon woke up, took a quick shower, and changed. Looking at the woman in the kitchen, he rolled up his sleeves. I’ll make two more dishes. I can’t just eat plain gruel.” 

You need to eat lightly. You’re still not well, and greasy food isn’t good for you,” she said

I’m a man, and I need protein,he insisted

Teresa was rendered speechless, deciding to let him be.. 

Jonathan made some roasted beef and tomato omelet, and the pair had a meal together

Teresa had to admit that his cooking skills were still impressive. Jonathan had once mentioned that after losing his father young, he learned to cook and would often make der for Irene before doing his homework

The dining room was quiet

Teresa set her fork down. Jonathan, we can’t keep going like this.” 

Jonathan placed his fork down as well. Like what?” 

She sighed. We’ve been divorced for so long, and ever since you returned to Nareigh, we’ve been seeing each other more than we should. I’ve given you my answer about the remarriage. I think it’s time we start afresh.” 

As she lay in his embrace last night, she had spent hours reflecting on it. She couldn’t keep falling into this same pattern. Every time he fell ill or faced trouble, she ended up involved, but that was never what she had intended

Jonathan lifted his gaze. Are you seeing someone else?” 

Teresa almost kicked him, cursing inwardly, Like hell I would! Oh, well. If that will stop him from coming to me, I’ll let him think so

Anyway, I want to start afresh,” she said noncommittally

You mean start afresh with another guy?” he asked

You could say so,Teresa replied

Jonathan didn’t say much else, eating slowly. Let’s just finish eating and I’ll drive you home.” 

Teresa nodded, thinking, This might be our last meal together.” 

After the meal, as he reached for his coat, a photo slipped out of his wallet. It was a past picture of the two of them. Teresa saw it but pretended not to

You don’t need to drive me. I can get home on my own,” she said

This is the last time. It’s my last time taking care of him, my last time sharing a meal with him, and my last time showing concern for him, I can’t get involved with him anymore. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’d end up repeating the same mistake, she mused. Teresa left Luviston Estates without looking back
