Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 645

Chapter 645 I’m Wholeheartedly Willing

"Forget it? You think that you aren't a good match for me, so you're treating my feelings this way, right?" Frank forced himself to swallow his anger as he growled, "Raquella, do you know how deep my feelings are for you?"

However, Raquella did not wish to continue the conversation any longer. Now, her mind was in turmoil and she was unable to think of any answer. "All right, let's save this conversation for next time."

Frank could only let out a helpless sigh at the sight of her frantic expression. "Okay, I won't ask you anything before you can accept the answer. I hope that you can really think about it carefully."

She nodded, feeling a trace of guilt inexplicably well up in her heart as she looked at his look of disappointment. However, at this point in time, things would only continue to go further downhill the more they spoke about it.

In the end, the two ended their talk in an awkward atmosphere. They weren't particularly giving each other the cold shoulder, but as Frank's enthusiasm seemed to have quelled, Raquella didn't go out of her way to spark a conversation with him either.

Upon returning to her room, she suddenly began to feel an ache in her throat and a wave of nausea. Hence, she planned to take a short rest on the bed, but she unexpectedly drifted off to sleep instead.

In her dreams, she felt a strange sensation, as if a ball of fire was burning in her chest. Wishing to put out this fire, she frantically ran all over the place to look for a source of water, but her efforts were futile.

In the end, just as she was frantically tearing at her clothes, a hand suddenly grabbed hers and pulled her into an embrace. "Don't be scared."

Raquella shook her head as she desperately attempted to break free, but the hand held onto her so tightly that she was unable to put up a fight. At last, she startled awake from her dream only to see Frank sitting next to her and holding her in his arms without budging an inch.

"Frank…" She opened her mouth, only to find that her throat was achingly sore, making it arduous to utter even a single word.

"If I'm not wrong, you've probably tested positive. Since you're not feeling well, take a good rest and stop imagining things."

He pulled out a sheet of tissue and began to wipe the cold sweat off her forehead.

Instantly, Raquella panicked, and she looked at him frantically as if silently reprimanding him for his recklessness.

"It's all right. You don't have to worry about me."

As Frank looked at her, his gaze gradually softened. "It's fine if I get infected as long as I can take care of you."

At his words, Raquella squeezed the words out of her throat in a hoarse voice, saying, "I… I don't want you to take care of me. Hurry up and leave before you get infected too…"

Even so, Frank insisted obstinately, "What's the problem with taking care of you? I already said that I don't care about getting infected, so what are you worried about?"

Raquella immediately lost her temper and mustered all her strength to shove him away from her. "Do you think that getting infected with this is a joke?"

He was infuriated by her actions, but as she was currently a patient, he couldn't pick a fight with her either, nor could he simply leave her behind and abandon her.

Hence, he softened his tone to the best of his abilities and said, "I know that you're worried about my safety, but two people in your family have already been infected. If I don't take care of the two of you, who will? You don't have to worry. I'll be extremely careful. Besides, I've always been healthy, so it's fine even if I get infected."

Tears rolled down her face uncontrollably. She knew that Frank was doing this for her own good, but she just couldn't bring herself to accept his kindness.

In the end, she could only say helplessly, "Thank you."

"No need to thank me." He pulled her into his embrace once more and caressed her hair. "If you really want to thank me, you can use your body to do so."

Hearing that caused Raquella's face to instantly freeze.

"All right, you're a patient now, so I'll stop joking around with you."

With that, Frank rested his chin on her hair and mumbled, "I hope you'll get better soon."
