Keith saw Autumn too.

With his long stride, he walked straight over. “Let’s go.”

She blinked in surprise.

Go where?

He clarified simply, “I’m taking you back to your room.”

A wave of nausea hit her, acid rising in her throat.

She covered her mouth, gagging.

Keith, already beside her, gently patted her back until the feeling eased, then guided her carefully back to her

room.

As soon as they returned, Autumn felt her head spinning, her stomach churning violently.

She couldn’t hold it and threw up.

And worse, she threw up on Keith.

Panic flooded her.

As far as she remembered, Keith was a clean freak.

Her head was foggy, probably from the fever flaring up again.

She grabbed a tissue from the nightstand and hurriedly tried to clean him up. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to. Let me wipe it off.”

Keith’s eyes were fixed on her.

He instinctively caught her hand. “Don’t move.”

As soon as he touched her fingers, he felt how hot her skin was.

His palm went straight to her forehead, checking her temperature.

Without another word, he leaned down and scooped her into his arms, carefully placing her on the bed.

When he tucked her in, they were so close she could hear his steady breathing and her own heartbeat pounding

in her ears.

Autumn could clearly hear the strong, rhythmic thump of his heart.

Her face burned even hotter with embarrassment.

That was when Jesse walked in.

The door creaked open just in time for him to catch the two of them practically pressed together.

The sound startled them.

Keith gave a light cough and quickly straightened up.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt,” Jesse said awkwardly, setting the oatmeal on the bedside table before turning on his heel and darting out like he was being chased.

Keith helped Autumn sit up, then picked up the food container and gently blew on the steam rising from the porridge.

“I can feed myself,” she mumbled, rubbing her aching head and squinting.

His gaze stayed heavy on her.

He didn’t say anything, but the intensity made her feel oddly cornered.

She reluctantly opened her mouth.

But after just a few bites, Autumn shook her head. “I can’t eat anymore.”

“You’ve only had a few bites and already can’t eat anymore? Do you always eat this little?”

Keith looked down at the nearly untouched bowl of oatmeal, his brow creasing slightly.

She was like a kitten-eating just enough to survive.

She really didn’t take care of herself.

“It’s not always like this. I’m just sick right now, so I don’t have much of an appetite,” Autumn explained.

But the truth was, this had been going on for a long time.

She ate very little, rarely felt hungry even at mealtimes.

She’d simply gotten used to it.
