Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 858: Mark’s Wound Infected, High Fever Ensues...
Arnold wanted to struggle a bit, "But boss..."
Mark’s face was stern, "There’s no but, this is an order!"
Arnold had no choice but to obey Mark and rest first.
However, before resting, Arnold had a problem he needed to take care of, and it was urgent.
Originally, Arnold planned to take care of it secretly after Mark went to rest, but now...
Too embarrassed to say it out loud, yet unable to not go, Arnold had to stand up.
Seeing Arnold’s movement, Mark inquired, "Didn’t I tell you to rest? What are you suddenly standing up for?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Arnold’s cheeks flushed, and he stammered, "I...I want to relieve myself."
When saying the words ’relieve myself’, Arnold’s voice was especially soft, almost like a mosquito’s buzz.
Mark didn’t hear what Arnold said clearly and looked at him, asking again, "Arnold, what did you just say? I didn’t catch that, what do you want to do?"
Before Arnold could respond, Mark continued, "You can’t see right now. Just tell me what you want to do, and I’ll help you..."
Arnold’s cheeks turned even redder.
Before Mark could finish, Arnold loudly said, "Boss, I need to relieve myself!"
"Miss?" Mark looked at Arnold, puzzled, "In this deserted jungle, what do you need a miss for? Not to mention the organization doesn’t allow it, and you’re still a girl, what do you need a miss for?"
Hearing Mark’s words, Arnold stomped his foot in frustration.
If circumstances allowed, and she could open her eyes, she would have glared at Mark fiercely.
Since words were useless, Arnold didn’t say anything else and directly turned to walk away.
Mark reached out and grabbed Arnold, "Arnold..."
Arnold turned back, facing Mark’s direction, and said angrily, "Boss, I need to go to the bathroom, alright!"
Mark finally understood that what Arnold meant by ’relieve myself’ was not ’miss’.
He chuckled without feeling embarrassed and patted Arnold’s shoulder, "If you need to go to the bathroom, just say so! Saying ’relieve myself’ confused the boss."
After speaking, Mark took Arnold’s hand, "Let’s go."
Arnold was stunned, "Go where?"
Mark looked at Arnold, "Aren’t you going to the bathroom?"
The expression on Arnold’s face stiffened, "Boss, are you going with me?"
"Of course," Mark replied naturally, then explained, "Not to mention you can’t see right now, and in this jungle at night, I can’t let you go alone."
Arnold’s face was red down to the neck, "But boss, I’m going to..."
"Isn’t it just relieving yourself? I know," Mark said nonchalantly, looking at Arnold’s blushing face. "You used to disguise as a man and sleep in the same room with the boss, so what’s wrong with going to relieve yourself together?"
Arnold: "..."
What to do?
She was at a loss for words.
Mark smiled, "Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I’ll just escort you to the place, I won’t peek."
Arnold, knowing Mark’s character, naturally knew he wouldn’t peek at her.
But even if his back was turned, he could still hear the sound, and she would still be embarrassed!
"Let’s go." Mark pulled Arnold outside, and after bringing Arnold to a big tree not far from the campfire, Mark said, "Call me when you’re done."
After speaking, Mark walked away.
But he didn’t go far.
Arnold blushingly took care of her physiological needs and didn’t have the nerve to call for Mark.
She felt around the tree to find her way out, planning to head back by sensing the direction of the fire.
Just as she took two steps, Mark, who heard her movement, came over.
Mark took Arnold’s hand and led her back to the campfire, then took out the canvas he had been carrying and handed it to Arnold, "Rest."
"Alright." Arnold nodded and draped the canvas over herself.
After sleeping for about an hour or so, Arnold’s mind, filled with concerns, woke up.
She looked in Mark’s direction, "Boss, I’m rested, you should rest for a while too."
She expected Mark to reprimand her or order her to sleep a bit more, but to Arnold’s surprise, Mark only hummed softly and said nothing.
Although it felt nice, Arnold still sensed something was off as it didn’t match the boss’s character.
Suddenly, Arnold remembered something.
She fumbled around, quickly moving closer to Mark.
Upon touching Mark, Arnold cried out in surprise, "Boss, why is your body so hot? Is your wound infected?"
"Probably," Mark said calmly, looking at Arnold and weakly adding, "It’s fine, I’ll be better after some sleep. Just keep an eye on the fire, don’t let it go out, and wake me if anything happens."
"Okay, boss, you sleep." Arnold responded, feeling around for the canvas she had covered with before, and placed it over Mark...
Mark, burning with fever, soon fell into a deep, lethargic sleep.
Feeling the rising heat from Mark’s body, Arnold was extremely anxious.
Arnold wanted to get some water from the creek to wet Mark’s forehead, hoping to reduce his burning temperature, but she didn’t dare leave because she couldn’t see.
She feared she wouldn’t find the way to the creek and was even more afraid that while she was gone, the unconscious Mark might encounter some accident!
She couldn’t leave. She could only hold Mark tightly, hoping he would break a sweat and praying his fever would gradually go down.
Finally, after waiting for a long time, when Mark’s temperature showed no sign of decreasing and only got worse, Arnold couldn’t wait any longer!
"Boss, you have a fever. Let me take you to the creek, alright?" Arnold leaned close to Mark and asked.
Mark, unconscious from the high fever, couldn’t answer Arnold’s question.
"Boss, I won’t let anything happen to you!" Arnold said firmly, reaching to carry Mark on her back.
After all the years in the military, she had gained a lot of strength, and carrying Mark wasn’t too much of a challenge.
After lifting Mark, Arnold didn’t rush impulsively.
Arnold naturally had a keen sense of hearing and a strong intuition.
After losing her sight, Arnold’s hearing became even sharper, and her intuition stronger than before.
Now, Arnold carefully listened and felt for any movement around, and after making sure there was no danger and identifying the direction of the creek, she moved.
Not being able to see the surroundings, Arnold didn’t dare rush.
She carried Mark one step at a time, afraid of accidentally falling and hurting him.
Yet she couldn’t afford to go too slowly, fearing that even a moment’s delay could lead to encountering a beast in this perilous forest that could harm Mark.
