Reborn to My Engagement Night Chapter 140 I Was Wrong

The series of actions was carried out in one smooth motion.

Sebastian’s lips held a faint taste of liquor, blended with the subtle scent of his cologne. For a moment, Madelyn lost herself in the kiss.

“Madelyn, what exactly are you trying to do?”

Sebastian was caught off guard by her action. His tall figure abruptly froze before he instinctively pushed her away.

Madelyn didn’t utter a word. She merely stared at his lips, transfixed.

A few seconds later, she suddenly plastered her lips against his again.

She resembled a confused little deer, recklessly charging forward.

Sebastian could distinctly sense her effort and surprisingly found himself aroused by her, somewhat ready to spring to action.

Finally, he snapped and barked lowly, “You asked for it!”

After saying that, he turned the tables on her.

Pleasure and pain coursed through Madelyn simultaneously, making her tremble involuntarily before she went limp.

In no time at all, her body ached all over, and she couldn’t help but plead with tears in her eyes, “No more, Sebastian… I was wrong. Ahh…”

Sebastian was fuming, so he couldn’t possibly let her off the hook.

When Madelyn woke up the next day, the sunlight outside the window had already streamed into the room.

She groggily opened her eyes, only to feel a wave of splitting headache assail her.

Her body was limp and devoid of strength, and her private parts were sore. In less than two seconds, a layer of sweat dotted her forehead.

By then, Sebastian had also awakened. Turning, he saw her exquisite face contorted in pain. His heart jolted at the sight, and he immediately reached out to touch her forehead.

His brows furrowed immediately after, for her temperature was alarmingly high.

Thus, he immediately got up and put on his clothes. Then, he pulled the blankets back and dressed her.

As soon as he did so, he saw that her fair and flawless body was covered entirely in the marks he left last night.

Besides hickeys, there were also varying shades of bruises. The part of her between her inner thighs, especially, was red and swollen.

I shouldn’t have treated her like that last night.

Subsequently, Sebastian swiftly put some clothes on her. Then, he hurried downstairs to instruct Lydia to summon the doctor quickly.

Shortly after, the doctor arrived in a hurry, carrying a first-aid kit.

He first gave Madelyn an antipyretic, followed by an IV drip. Only then did her temperature gradually begin decreasing.

Worried sick, Sebastian couldn’t even bring himself to leave for a moment. Hence, he decided not to go to work and stayed in the room, taking meticulous care of Madelyn.

While changing the damp towel on her forehead, he carefully wiped her down to bring her temperature down.

Madelyn, however, remained in a constant state of haziness, unable to fully wake yet also unable to sleep soundly.

By the time noon rolled around, Sebastian had Lydia prepare some oatmeal. He then personally carried it upstairs and woke her up. “Be good. Wake up and eat something.”

Madelyn was so feverish that she was in a daze. With some assistance, she managed to sit up and eat a bowl of oatmeal, her mind still foggy.

After she had eaten, she instinctively wanted to thank him, but her throat was so sore that speech was impossible.

Sebastian’s brow abruptly creased.

Sometime later, the doctor removed the IV drip. He said to Sebastian, “Mr. Lockhart, Mrs. Lockhart’s fever has fully subsided. From here on out, she only needs proper rest to recuperate.”

Having said that, he promptly left the room.

The worry that had been plaguing Sebastian finally abated.

When he turned around, Madelyn had once again drifted off. Even when it was afternoon, she didn’t wake up.

Lydia watched in distress at the side and couldn’t help reprimanding, “Mr. Lockhart, marital bond is for life. How could you treat Mrs. Lockhart so harshly? Look what’s become of her when she was once so vibrant and lively.”

She had been with the Lockhart family for many years, so Sebastian naturally didn’t take offense when she casually voiced a few complaints.

Moreover, he also felt that he made a mistake in the matter.

He felt a deep sense of frustration. No matter how he treated Madelyn, the one heartbroken was seemingly always himself.

At night, Madelyn finally recovered under Sebastian’s meticulous care.

Her head throbbed as if it had been caught in a door, and her chest felt suffocated. Her body was drenched in a cold sweat under the blankets, leaving her damp and sticky, a downright uncomfortable sensation.

She couldn’t take it anymore and reluctantly pulled herself out of bed. Dragging her feet, she went to the bathroom for a soak in the tub.

When warm water enveloped her entire body, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much better.

At that moment, Sebastian happened to return with a glass of milk in his hand from downstairs.

Unexpectedly, the person on the bed was nowhere to be found when he entered the room, upon which he panicked for a moment.

Then, upon seeing that the bathroom light was on, he dashed straight into the bathroom.

“Ahh!”

Madelyn was taken aback as someone suddenly barged in. In her birthday suit, she almost fell.

Fortunately, Sebastian reacted quickly, immediately stepping forward and steadying her delicate and fair body.

In the process, he inadvertently hit the switch of the showerhead. Suddenly, a stream of warm water gushed out from the showerhead.

As Sebastian hugged her, they happened to be standing under the showerhead. In an instant, they were both drenched.
