Bradley had been watching the little woman's expression. Suddenly, seeing her so cunning, his pupils were filled with her smiling face.

His rough fingertips gently stroked her porcelain-white and delicate face. With every inch of skin he touched, the heat in his palm increased several degrees.

"That's because of you too!" His Adam's apple bobbed. Although the temperature in the room was comfortable, there were still fine beads of sweat on his face.

His voice was mellow and pleasant, as beautiful as the sound of the most melodious cello.

Freya nestled in his arms, feeling an indescribable sense of peace.

It seemed that as long as this man was by her side, it could quickly calm her restless heart.

Suddenly, her body stiffened slightly.

When she realized what was happening, Freya was a bit flustered.

She had just wanted to tease him a little, but she didn't expect to awaken the lion hidden in the man's body.

This was really troublesome.

With an unhidden tremor in her voice, Jian Xuehan said, "Honey, you should go out and deal with your business!"

Bradley didn't say anything. Instead, he was demonstrating a fact with his actions: once the beastly nature of the lion was aroused, it was difficult to stop.

Freya only heard a tearing sound. Then, the man's powerful figure completely enveloped her small body.

"Old..."

She wanted to say something, but her breath was swallowed up in an instant!

It was late at night.

The entire royal palace was quiet, and only the sounds of their breathing and heartbeats could be heard.

......

At three o'clock in the morning.

Bradley woke up from his deep sleep.

He turned his head to look at the little woman beside him. Her eyelashes were tightly closed, and she looked extremely tired.

Her long hair, like a waterfall, was damp and spread out on the pillow. He didn't know what dream she was having, and her red lips were slightly parted.

This sight made the man's heart flutter. He got out of bed, picked her up from the bed, and walked into the bathroom.

He turned on the faucet of the bathtub and filled it with comfortable warm water. Then, he sat in the bathtub with her in his arms.

Freya was so exhausted that she had no idea what was happening. Even when the man gently bathed her, she didn't feel a thing. She was completely limp and leaned her head against his shoulder.

After the bath, Bradley carefully lifted her out of the water, dried her body with a clean towel, and carried her back to the bed.

Before leaving, the man bent down and gently kissed her on the forehead. "Good night. Have a sweet dream!"

He tidied everything up and returned to his usual abstinent and cold appearance.

The moment he stepped out of the royal palace, Blue Book had been waiting there for a long time.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Lu just sent a message. The approximate residence of the sniper has been locked down. Please go there in person!"

Bradley rubbed the center of his brows, trying to brush away the tiredness on his face, and then said hoarsely, "Prepare the car!"

"Yes!"

Blue Book quickly went to do it.

In the dark night, the sound of the car engine was particularly harsh. Freya woke up from her nightmare, propped herself up on the bed with her hands, and got out of bed.

She walked barefoot towards the balcony and just happened to see the last trace of the black Hummer driving away.

For some reason, her heart couldn't calm down tonight. It seemed that something was going to happen.

This feeling of being anxious about gains and losses hadn't occurred for a long time, but it came on so strongly tonight that it made her very uneasy.

She was worried about Bradley and decided to follow him to see what was going on.

But just as she was about to go out after getting ready, she saw Mi Luo rushing out of the children's room in a hurry and collided head-on with Freya.

"Mi Luo, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"

When Mi Luo saw her, she said anxiously, "Manman just had a high fever again and kept having nightmares. I gave him an antipyretic injection, but his fever still won't go down."

Upon hearing this, Freya's heart tightened. She forgot about going out and turned around and rushed into the children's room.

At the moment, Manman was burning with a high fever and was in a daze. His whole body was as hot as if it was being baked by a fire, and it was scalding to the touch.

"Go and get me the needle kit!" Freya ordered Mi Luo.

Mi Luo didn't dare to slack off for a moment and immediately went to get the needle kit.

Freya immediately gave Manman an acupuncture treatment. The little guy obviously felt the pain and kept calling out "Mommy".

"Mommy is here. Don't be afraid!"

Freya soothed his emotions while giving him the acupuncture treatment.

But this didn't have any effect at all. Manman seemed to be haunted by a nightmare. After calling out, he started sobbing continuously.

This was the first time Freya had encountered such a situation, so she could only use the silver needles to make Manman fall into a deep sleep first.

Otherwise, his random movements would affect the effect of her acupuncture treatment.

......

Half an hour later, the acupuncture treatment was over.

There were beads of sweat on Freya's face. After pulling out the silver needles, she touched Manman's body to check his temperature.

Fortunately, the high fever was subsiding, and Freya finally let out a sigh of relief.

Mi Luo handed her a wet wipe and frowned. "It was so dangerous just now. I was scared to death. If you weren't at home, I really would have taken him to the medical room!"

Although Freya had said during the day that Manman might have a fever at night, the sudden onset of the illness caught her off guard.

"Manman's constitution was relatively weak before, but after I helped him regulate it, there has been a trend of improvement. It seems that this stimulation was a big blow to him!"

Freya wiped the sweat from her face, took Manman's hand to feel his pulse, and was surprised to find that Manman's pulse was a bit strange.

"Mi Luo, besides having nightmares and a high fever that won't subside, what other symptoms does Manman have?"

Mi Luo shook her head. "I don't think so. He was fine during the day. He could eat, sleep, and was in good spirits."

After saying that, she suddenly remembered something and continued, "Oh, right. He suddenly had a nosebleed when he woke up from his nap during the day."

A nosebleed?

Freya frowned deeply and carefully examined Manman again.

After the acupuncture treatment, the high fever had subsided, but his little face was still flushed. Besides that, he seemed normal.

But what was going on with this chaotic pulse?

Freya reminded, "Pay attention to Manman's condition recently. If there are any more symptoms of nosebleeds, inform me immediately."

Mi Luo asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Nothing. You should go and have a good rest too. If you don't sleep all night, you'll definitely have dark circles under your eyes tomorrow." After saying that, Freya turned to leave.

Only then did Mi Luo notice that she was dressed casually, as if she was about to go out, and she couldn't help asking, "It's so late. Are you still going out?"

Freya had a tired look on her face but forced herself to stay awake and waved her hand. "I can't sleep. I'm going out for a walk."

If Mi Luo knew she was going out, she would definitely be worried.

Manman's condition was not very optimistic. After the boxing match, she would give him a full-body examination to determine the exact cause of the illness.

Moreover, Mi Luo had just recovered not long ago after being seriously injured and needed more rest at this time.

She had considered everyone, but she was the only one she didn't think about. She herself had once been poisoned and almost died.
