###Chapter 108 I Must Talk With A Gun And A Stick

I looked up at him and saw my reflection in his pupils. "Can I even torture you?" After a pause, I couldn't help laughing and said, "Yes, after all this time, I should be the one to be gentle with your heart. Marcela really tortured you when she called you back this time."

Ignoring his cold and terrible face, I said with a bit of a false apology, "I'm really sorry. I promise it won't happen again. It's getting late. You'd better go out and change. I'll have a rest!"

"Ivelle!" He suppressed his anger. "Do you have to talk to me so harshly like this? Why are you pushing me away?"

I raised my eyebrows and said somewhat ironically, "You think too much. I haven't said anything hurtful to you yet."

"You." He laughed angrily, fished me out of the water and threw a towel directly at me.

I pulled the quilt to cover myself, and he sneered, "Are you shy with your naked body?"

Ignoring him, I pursed my lips and glanced at the bedside. I saw that there were no clothes, and then I saw him take off his drenched coat.

A large part of his shirt was wet and affixed to his sturdy chest. It looked very attractive to any woman's gaze. I frowned with my mouth and eyes and said firmly, "Jordan I don't want to do it with you!"

He stood straightly and sneered. "You're pretty sure of my physical strength!" He gave me a cold look, and he said in a cold voice, "Don't worry, I'm not that unreasonable!"

I was shocked to see him untie his shirt, took off his shirt, threw it aside. He then untied his belt and wore his trousers. I noticed the large reddish scars on his back as he bent over.

It seemed that the accident's damages on him were still very serious.

He threw his trousers aside and saw me staring at him. He also noticed that I was looking at his scars. He frowned and explained, "I would have done it no matter who it was!"

I said nothing, looked back and pulled the towel over my head.

Later on, I woke up in the middle of the night because I had a high fever. My mouth was dry and my body felt cold. I almost rolled out of bed after suddenly waking up because of my chills.

Fortunately, Jordan woke up quickly and pulled me back to bed. He seemed to have just woken up and said hoarsely, "What's the matter?"

I felt dizzy and weak. It took me a long time to say a few words, "I'm so thirsty!"

After turning on the light at the head of the bed, he got up to pour me water and let me drank it. Some of my pain was relieved, but my body was still weak and my dizziness made me feel uncomfortable.

When Jordan saw that something was wrong with me, he took my temperature on my forehead and sensed that I was sick. He got up and dressed hurriedly. I grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "We can't go to the hospital!"

It was not good to take medicine because I was carrying a fetus, after all.

He frowned and sweat started appearing on his forehead. "If you don't go to the hospital, I'll let the doctor come over." With that, he called the doctor.

After a few words, he went into the bathroom, put a wet towel on my forehead when he came out, and then boiled water.

I was a little dazed with my high fever. I didn't know when Doctor Brad came. It was only when he talked to Jordan that I woke up a little bit.

"How could she suddenly have a high fever? The child is already five months old and her body is developing, so it's easy to have problems!"

There was a reproach in Doctor Brad's remark.

"It rained for half an hour at night!" It's Jordan's voice.

"You are too careless. The pregnant woman is already emotionally unstable. With so many things that have happened recently, she has so much pressure on her heart that she has no way to vent, so she can only solve it in her own way."

My head was so dizzy that I didn't listen to the rest of their conversation.

It was alternately hot and cold all night, and it was only when I was afternoon came that I fell fully asleep.

When I woke up again, it was already the following night. I got up perhaps out of my mother's instinct. I reached out to touch my belly, and fortunately it was still bulging.

I breathed a sigh of relief, closed my eyes, got used to the feeling in my belly, and then opened my eyes again.

There was no one in the room. I was a little thirsty so I got up half-propped, readying myself to get out of bed, but my legs were very weak.

As soon as my feet stepped on the ground, I fell down.

I was surprised and grabbed the bedside table, but fortunately, I landed on my knees. It was no big deal. The ornaments on the bed cupboard dropped all over the floor and broke.

The bedroom door was suddenly opened, and Jordan still had a document in his hand. It seemed that he suddenly ran over when he heard a noise.

Seeing me kneeling on the ground, he frowned slightly. He picked me up and put me on the bed, his voice a little hoarse, "What are you going to do?"

"I want some water!" I opened my mouth with a sore throat.

He half-leaned me on the bed, then poured water and made me drink it. "There is a cell phone by the bed. Call me or Marcela if you want anything. Just don't try to be brave and do things by yourself!"

I nodded and stopped talking.

After drinking water, I felt a little better.

He looked at me and said, "Are you hungry?"

I shook my head and my eyes fell on the documents he brought in. Samson Electronics' new product listing planning was the case.

My eyes paused, and I couldn't help but stare at the wall at the end of the bed in a trance.

Noticing my movements, he handed me the document directly and said, "This is Samson's latest plan. Would you like to have a look at it?"

I shook my head and my eyes were a little pale. "No!"

Now that I have left Astley Group, no matter how willing I was, it was impossible for me to give any substantial help. What I needed to do now was simply to give birth to the baby with peace of mind.

"After you have a baby, if you want to go back, you can go back to work. I didn't think carefully about Samson Electronic and Astley Group's audit, and I don't blame you."

I couldn't help frowning when he brought it up on his own initiative.

Although I felt uncomfortable, I didn't know how to tell him about my intention, so I just kept silent.

Seeing that I was silent, he finally realized that I could not attend to it in the meantime. "Samson Electronics is still in your name," he said. "No matter what happens in the future, it will be yours. Just focus on taking good care of the baby!"

"Jordan!" I opened my mouth, my voice was still a little hoarse, "Did you send Nicole to the capital to tell me that something happened? To inform me that Astley Group was in crisis? Did you plan all this?"

hamake any conclusion about it. In fact, it was all calculated by Jordan.

He looked at me with a terrible expression. "Do you suspect me of using you for the company?"

Looking at him, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. "Ever since I joined the company, I have always been responsible for engineering projects. I have never been in contact with the audit and the market, but after I finished Dean's case, you gave me two cases of Astley Group's and Samson Electronics' audit. With your usual habits, you would arrange at most one project for me, but you have arranged two for me at the same time."

Speaking of which, I couldn't help looking at him and seeing him raise his eyebrows, "Go on!"

I moved over, found a comfortable position to lie down, and continued, "Saying that it is a punishment for my delay in settling the final payment by Dean Blakely is actually just a cover. The biggest problem the Astley Group faces after listing is the capital chain and financing risk."

"The Astley Group's capital has always been the most abundant among listed companies. How can you think that our company is short of funds?"

Seeing that he was so confident, I couldn't help laughing, "Since there are sufficient funds, why did Dean Blakely just leave the final payment on defaults for a few days, which would cause tens of millions of losses to the company?"
