When Love Is a Lie (Whitney and Damian)

Chapter 54 They Were Just Using Each Other That Night

Whitney remembered meeting Nool at the entrance. Before she passed out, she had seen him lean forward to catch her, and later, she vaguely recalled him giving her medicine. Hence, it did not make sense for Damian to be in her home. Besides, she had blocked him on every platform, and there was no way he could find out she was sick.

"You had a high fever, but i timally broke this morning," Damian said as he set down a bowl of chicken noodle soup. He reached toward her forehead to check her temperature. Whitney turned away, her palle face expressionless as she avoided his gaze. "I don't need your care. Please leave."
