Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 323

Chelsea didn't hear any response from Edmund but only the sound of running water.

She had to call him. "Edmund?"

A thought came to her mind, "Could it be that he passed out because staying too long in the rain?"

Then the situation would be awkward now. How could she save him if he fainted when taking a bath?

Thinking of this, Chelsea could only knock on the door and shout, "Edmund, are you alright?"

The sound of water stopped, and the man's hoarse voice sounded again. "I won't die."

Chelsea was furious by his words. Did he deliberately speak in such a gloomy tone to embarrass her?

Not wanting to talk to him anymore, Chelsea turned around and walked out of the bathroom.

While sitting in the sofa and waiting for Edmund, Chelsea couldn't help but complain to Zuri on WhatsApp about Edmund's preposterous behavior tonight.

After hearing this, Zuri responded her with some laughing emojis. Then, she said, "The rain today is as heavy as that when Edmund went to the Ellis family to look for Chelsea."

Chelsea was a little speechless. She knew that meme. The rain today was as heavy as that when Andy Dufresne succeeded in escaping from the prison; or as heavy as that when Robert Kincaid separated Francesca Johnson.

But she never thought that Zuri would use it to make fun of Edmund. As soon as she thought of Edmund's look of self-torment in the rain, she became furious. "What an annoying person he is! Childish!"

As soon as she finished complaining about Edmund, Chelsea heard the door open and saw Edmund walked out, dressing neatly with blown dry hair.

At the first sight, Chelsea slightly frowned because of the abnormally red face of Edmund.

She got up and walked over to him and asked, "Why is your face burning like mad?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Edmund suddenly hugged her. His handsome face, which was burning, pressed against her neck.

"Chelsea, I really can't live without you." His tone sounded very sad. Only then did Chelsea realize that he had a fever, which caused his voice to sound so hoarse.

"Edmund, you have a fever!" Chelsea couldn't be bothered to listen to him. She quickly pushed him, trying to see his face clearly.

After being pushed, Edmund couldn't stand still due to the high fever. He simply fell onto the sofa next to him, which startled Chelsea. "Edmund!"

Roy and Kelli, who came here after learned the news, did not expect such a situation. Kelli turned around and ordered the nanny, "Call the family doctor to come right now."

It was raining heavily outside. They couldn't send Edmund in fever to the hospital and had to ask the family doctor to come.

Roy helped Chelsea to carry Edmund to the bed in the guest room. Chelsea took a wet towel over and put it on his forehead as a physical cooling.

After everything done, Roy stared at the man on the bed who was dizzy because of the high fever. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he could do nothing about it.

Originally, he had planned to teach Edmund a lesson and then drive him away after he changed his clothes. However, now that Edmund had a fever, he couldn't drive him away anymore.

The family doctor arrived very soon. After the examination, he diagnosed that Edmund caught cold and fever due to fatigue of the long journey and rain. After asking Edmund to take the antipyretic, he prescribed some anti-cold medicines.

Roy said discontentedly, "A young and strong man has a fever just because of standing in the rain for a while. He is weaker than me!"

Not only Roy but also Chelsea was puzzled.

She had lived with Edmund for three years, and no one knew better than her how strong he was. Except for some stomach troubles due to his busy work and social functions, he hardly got sick.

She didn't understand why Edmund caught a cold and had a fever because of rain this time. novelbin

What they didn't know was that Edmund was so disheartened that his body couldn't hold on any longer.

From the time he learned that Chelsea and Winston had spent most of the morning chatting in the coffee shop, till he saw Winston holding Chelsea's hand, his heart had been broken.

Life was hopeless.

It could also be said that his fury caused a fever.

Chelsea fed him some medicine. Just as she was about to get up from the bed, she was grabbed by Edmund. The man's palm was hot with fever, causing her heart to tremble.

She tried to pull back her hand, but Edmund held her tightly and murmured, "Don't go..."

"Don't leave me, Chelsea." Although he was dizzy, he instinctively wanted to keep her.

Roy was so angry that he stepped forward and patted Edmund's hand. Then, he pulled Chelsea's hand back from his palm.

"Catch a break if you have a fever. Don't think you can take advantage of her."

Kelli didn't even have time to stop Roy from beating Edmund. She was also a little helpless that she never expected that Roy would beat someone. It seemed that a father's attitude toward her daughter was really special.

Chelsea glanced at the back of Edmund's hand, which had been flushed. She turned to Roy and Kelli and said, "It's late. Go back and rest. I'll stay and watch him."

Roy disagreed. "No, you go to rest. I'll stay."

Roy was very afraid that if Chelsea stayed alone, Edmund would take advantage of Chelsea after his fever was gone.

But how could Chelsea let an elder like Roy stay to take care of Edmund? She insisted on letting Roy and Kelli rest, so Kelli took Roy and left.

"No matter what, the two of them need to get along with each other alone." Kelli comforted Roy in this way, "Let them talk about it with each other after Edmund's fever is gone, and then we'll ask them."

Roy could only listen to Kelli. They went back to their rooms to rest.

Chelsea sat down on a single sofa in the corner of the guest room, observing Edmund's condition while chatting with Zuri.

Edmund had taken the antipyretics. If the fever dropped after a while, he should be fine. Otherwise, according to the doctor's words, it would be troublesome. He might get a pneumonia and had to be sent to the hospital.

Zuri couldn't help clicking her tongue when she heard that Edmund had a fever. "I have no choice but to admire him. This time, even the heavens are helping him. I'm afraid that he would eventually become a part of your family."

Chelsea was so annoyed. "We can't just stand by and watch. What do you think he wants?"

Zuri said, "He just wants to be with you again. Why don't you two try to get along again?"

"Speaking of which, you two have never been in a normal relationship. At first you had sex, and then got married. You two have completely gone against the normal process of love."

Chelsea pursed her lips tightly and did not speak for a long time.

She really didn't dare to do that. She didn't dare to love him again.

If she was hurt by him again, her heart would probably be utterly broken for the rest of her life._
