Chapter 84: Chapter 84

“I’ve already given him sedatives, for now. But how it will turn out now genuinely depends on the Grand Duke himself.”

The physician eventually raised his hips while breathing out.

As soon as she heard that Knox’s breath had become much relaxed, Vivian finally managed to unwind her face.

“Thank you.”

As he heard those unexpected words from Vivian, the physician’s surprised eyes immediately gazed towards her.

“You don’t need to thank me, this is my job. Just please ask the Grand Duke to give me a little more time for a break.”

When Vivian had finally nodded, the physician then took his bag with him. He stared blankly at Vivian, who was still clutching onto Knox’s hand before shaking his own head.

Unlike his words, which initially said that he’d stay until Knox had regained his consciousness, he quickly left the room soon after.

When she had procured that place only for the two of them, Vivian carefully caressed Knox’s face.

As she felt that his skin was already damp from sweat, she slowly moved her hand following the contour of his face. Eyes, nose and lips. Vivian’s gentle touch was very careful as if she was recording all of his details—one by one.

“Knox…….”

Just like a lie, Knox began to show response to her faint murmur. His eyelids, which fluttered at first, soon parted open, albeit slowly. His eyes were looking at the air through his blurry gaze.

“Ah, have you woken up? How’s your body? Are you…….”

When Vivian’s voice was soon heard, Knox’s eyes immediately turned to the side.

The moment his eyes had recognized Vivian, she was then pushed down beneath Knox.

“Knox?”

Vivian’s flustered voice resonated in the bedroom. It was all because of the fact that she had been surprised by his actions, which were so agile that it was utterly hard to believe he was just sleeping a moment ago.

Nevertheless, she just couldn’t believe that the one who was pressing her shoulder with that strong force was Knox, himself. All the while, he was glaring ferociously at Vivian, who was completely flustered, like he was about to kill her.

“What are you do—upp…….”

Knox’s lips landed just like that as he snatched her words away. And at that very same time when he took her voice away, his hand was pressing against her neck forcefully—making her open her lips in reflex.

His tongue that had swiftly and oppressively penetrated her mouth, which had already parted open by force, perfectly infringed her inside.

The breath that had entangled through the tongue was not as gentle as before. His tongue that was licking every nook and cranny of her teeth was just numb. On top of that, his actions on intertwining their tongues together were merely a gesture of domination over her.

“Eungh. Hah, wait.”

Vivian finally managed to push him off and took her mouth away, but still, he didn’t stop at all. As if he was planning to stop her breath, he stuffed her with his lips back before penetrating even deeper.

The deeper Knox’s tongue had viciously entered, the further her tremblings had gotten. The only problem was, contrary to that perplexing situation, she was already so used to his touch that she gradually felt it as well.

Vivian continuously tried pushing him away, but Knox’s wide back had no intention of budging in the slightest.

“Heut, haaah.”

As she finally managed to be liberated from his lips, Vivian quickly took a breath. The only thing that she had met again after forgetting to breathe due to his oppressing atmosphere, was those two pools of deep red.

“Knox.”

Vivian faintly called out to him, but there was no answer at all.

Is he high on the heat? Or is he high on drugs? Vivian began to worry about Knox, who seemed like he couldn’t get a grip on himself.

“Knox, are you okay? Can you recognize me?”

“…Haah.”

Was it because of her persistent question? When a response had finally come from Knox, albeit faintly, Vivian immediately brightened up as she placed her hand on Knox’s arm.

“…….Alexia?”

Right at that moment, Vivian’s heart instantly dropped.

Even though she knew that was to be expected, the fact that the Young Lady’s name was the one that came out from his lips had made her heated body cooled down completely.

Vivian nodded a little after she managed to recover from that shock.

“…yes, it’s me.”

“Haah. My body feels hot…… What time is it right now?”

Vivian glanced at the clock on the wall before letting him know. Knox appeared like he still couldn’t properly grasp that simple information, which she had just given him.

“Haah, dear……. My dear.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Unlike before, Knox was already burying his face in her nape while exhaling such rugged breaths. When his hot breath had brushed against her nape, Vivian immediately felt a chill, but she tried her very best not to show it at all.
