Carissa's attention diverted to the sound. She looked at him and saw him lying on the floor. "Noah.. Hey." In anxiety she forgot they are having a dispute right now. She ran towards him.

Carissa placed his head in her lap. He was not reacting which made her more worried. She tried to wake him up by calling his name but he had no energy to respond to her. Noah felt his lid so heavy that it was impossible for him to open them up.


She touched his forehead and it was burning hot. It is nearly impossible for a person to work with this high fever.

Carissa sounded desperate, "Noah what's happening with you? Why are you making me worried?" Her eyes had tears. She did not know what to do at the moment to help him.

Carissa thought of Aaron and she was going to call him to help Noah but Noah held her hand weakly. "I am fine". His voice came out like a whisper.


Noah gathered all the energy and tried to sit down but it was hard for him. Carissa helped him in getting up. "Why don't you go to hospital? You have a very high fever". She asked him while touching his face once again.

His eyes looked tired and he was dizzy. His vision was blurry too. "I have things to do. I am fine . I can handle". He did not want to trouble them.


"What can you handle? You can't even sit properly. At least go home and get some rest". She wanted to beat him for his foolishness. "How can you talk about work in this situation? Do you want to die?" She was scolding him.

Noah looked in her eyes, "I think you will kill me first".

"Stop this nonsense". He is really something else.

He ignored her and this is the only chance to apologize, "Carissa I was wrong. I've realized the foolishness and insensitivity of my actions. Please forgive me and give me a chance. I promise what happened last night will not happen again. I will never do such a thing again. Will you forgive me, please?" She was serious.

She can see the sincerity through his eyes and he was looking desperate. Maybe it was sickness that was making him more desperate and pitiful.

"What are you talking about now? It is not the time for such thing". She wanted him to recover first.

"Please Carissa". He pleaded.

His eyes were telling what she means to him and Carissa knows he is the man of his words, he won't go back.

"Okay." Carissa said, "Now get up your fever will become worse. Stop sitting on the floor."

She helped him in getting up, "You should go home". She supported his heavy body. It was already late so the company was already empty. She carefully made him sit in the car.

"Can you come with me?" He seriously asked. Carissa could not help but agree to his request.

Noah rested his head on the headrest of the seat. He massaged his hurting temples. He groaned a little.

"Is it hurting a lot?" All of her attention was on him.

Noah turned to look at her. His face was relaxed, "In the future, if you are unsatisfied with anything please talk to me. Don't turn your back. We can have a talk to resolve that matter. Okay?"

Carissa fiddled with her fingers, "Okay. I should not have acted rashly. Sorry". His condition was making her guilty. She was not able to meet his eyes.

Noah smiled faintly and held her hand. His hand was so hot that she felt her hand burning. The hotness his body is radiating was uncomfortable for him. But Carissa let him hold it. He did not let it go till they reached his home.

When they reached his house, Carried helped him again. The servants were shocked to see his state. Mr. Martin came running, "What happened? Should I call the young master Zain?" Mr. Martin was aware what action had made him sick. In fact it was abnormal for him to not fall sick after a crazy night of workout in water.

"No". His voice was hoarse, his throat was sore and it was hurting like hell making it impossible for him to speak even a single word, "He must be busy. Don't bother him".

"But still you are not looking good….." Noah glared at Mr. Martin, stopping his nagging. He walked off to his room with the help of Carissa.

"Lie comfortably I will bring something for you to eat." Carissa said while helping him lay down.

The maids were already cooking porridge for him.

Carissa said to Mr. Martin, "It will be better to call a doctor. His condition is not looking good. Noah has some important meetings tomorrow, otherwise it will be hard for him".

"Okay." Mr. Martin also wanted to call Zain for him now Carissa has given him permission, he was sure Noah will not throw a tantrum. She can handle the situation well for them. They first met at the station. It was their 2nd meeting but unexpectedly she looked very reliable. He sincerely wanted Noah and Carissa to end up together. She is the only one who can tame the Panther.

Carissa went to his bedroom, his body was looking lifeless. She felt bad for hurting him. It would have been a better choice to talk out things with him but she chose the other option. With the passing time his condition was getting worse.

His brows frowned, as he was in pain and Noah looked very uncomfortable. Without his knowledge he was groaning and he was breathing through his mouth.

Carissa touched the part between his brows to remove the lines, his tense body relaxed.

After sometime a very handsome man with a medical bag entered the room. His face had a gentle expression and looked very reliable. Carissa guessed him as a doctor. But the doctor was stunned to see the lady in his room. He has never expected this. The doctor has not recovered from the shock yet when Carissa suddenly said, "You must be a doctor. Please check him. He looks very uncomfortable." She gave him space, so that he could examine him. The doctor did not ask her anything because Noah was really in pain.

The doctor narrowed his eyes to see her. Carissa found him familiar but she does not guess where she has seen him before.

The doctor examined him thoroughly and gave him an IV. When he was done he left the room. Carissa followed him from behind. He halted in his step near Mr. Martin.

"What did he do in the past few days? How long does he sleep?" His voice was cold.

"He is not sleeping more than 3 hours a day and last night he swam the whole night". Mr. Martin replied.

Carissa felt more guilty. Now she knows the reason for his sudden illness and she is the cause of it.

"What about his meals?" The doctor again questioned them.

"He rarely eats and always skips breakfast and sometimes lunch too". Mr. Martin appeared to be ashamed at his words.

The doctor swept his eyes at all the staff, "What are you being paid for?" His voice was more chilling now. He looked like a xerox copy of Noah at the moment, "Next time I hope such a thing will not happen". His voice was threatening.

But it is not their fault. The temper of Noah is not a thing that anyone can handle.

The doctor said, "Take care of his meals and I have given him medication he will be fine after some sleep".

Everyone took a sigh of relief. Carissa found the man very charming and professional. She went back to his room. Noah woke up to the sound of the door.

"I brought porridge for you. Eat a little before sleeping".

He continued to look at her. In the last ten years she is the only one who is taking care of him, the only person by his side.

'It is worth being sick'. He thought and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.

Due to the fever his face had a hint of redness. Carissa found him more handsome than usual. She thought, 'He is the only person that can look so handsome even after being sick'.

She helped him sit and checked the temperature of porridge by touching the spoon on her lips.

He was carefully examining her actions. When Carissa felt the temperature was normal and good enough for him to eat she extended her arm towards him.

Noah ate from the spoon but he found it very delicious. "Because of you I have started to find food delicious". He said.

Carissa looked at him angrily, "You eat only one meal a day. Your body is becoming malnourished."

"If you will feed me all the meals like this then I am sure I will not forget to eat them....."
