Marriage contract: Fake love

Chapter 62: Getting sick

She got even closer to him and purposefully allowed her white breasts to brush against Hades' hand as she did so. Hades's throat moved in response to the faint aroma of roses that lingered on her skin after she had removed her perfume. The aroma had drifted past his nose and clung to her. He quickly pushed her away and then looked at Scarlet with a serious expression on his face after his eyes had a sudden s****l glint.

He told me, "I can't have s*x with you while you're drunk; you need to get some sleep."

Scarlet let out a chuckle that was as endearing as honey. She did so very carefully, stroking his arm very slowly as she purposefully tucked her little fingers into his sleeve. She has a cute little frown that draws you in.

Scarlet: "Didn't you say earlier that if either you or I needed to have s*x, you would be willing to accept it? Why make such a drastic change at this time? Do you not want to make love to me?"

She moved closer to Hades, pressing her gentle lips against the back of his neck in a tender and careful manner. Her body exuded an alluring aroma and was incredibly tender, resembling a luxurious jelly with an alluring layer of honey. Scarlet observed that Hades's skin was trembling, and she couldn't help but show her contempt by curling her lips into a smile. This man was helpless in the face of her alluring form; as soon as Scarlet opened her mouth, he was certain to follow her immediately.

Hades swallowed, the light in his eyes beginning to fade. However, in the split second that remained before Hades was pulled down into the chasm that Scarlet had created, he hurriedly pushed Scarlet away. Even though his tone of voice is now completely different from the original, he is steadfastly refusing.

Hades: "I told you that we are unable to have s****l relations."

Scarlet was somewhat taken aback by the fact that, even though her spirit was slightly clouded with yeast, she felt compelled to still offer a compliment to Hades' reason.

On the other hand, Scarlet's sudden pain caused her to wince, after which she stooped and fell into Hades' lap.

Scarlet was placed on Hades' lap after he reached out and grabbed her. He inquired with concern, "How are you doing? Are you feeling unwell? Permit me to make the call to the doctor on your behalf."

Amid their conversation, Scarlet spoke up and said, "I don't need it, I'm just too drunk, it's okay."

Hades: "But…"

Scarlet gave a firm shake of her head, attempted to open her eyes, and asserted, "I do not require the assistance of anyone. There is no need for you to be concerned about the situation I'm in. I'm fine."

Hades' heart began to race as he looked at Scarlet's face and noticed how suddenly it had turned white. He didn't give himself much time to think and instead quickly picked her up and moved forward. The feeble form of Scarlet collapsed into Hades's embrace, unable to muster any resistance.

"Stop! You have no choice but to release her right away." The moment Hades walked through the door of the wine room, a furious sentence came out of nowhere and exploded in everyone's faces.

Ellie was so overcome with rage that she ran up to Hades and grabbed his hand as she approached him. Ellie's grip became increasingly firm on Hades' hand, and the sharp tips of her fingers trembled intending to penetrate Hades' skin. As long as she continued to apply a moderate amount of pressure, those fingers would be able to penetrate Hades' flesh.

Hades's startled reaction caused him to experience an inner pang of guilt; however, he quickly reassured himself that he had not behaved inappropriately toward Ellie. His presence with Scarlet was solely motivated by the fact that she was in a precarious circumstance. Hades, in his role as Scarlet's "nominal husband," is obligated to assume responsibility for her wellbeing.

Hades: "Scarlet is experiencing some difficulties with her health. I have no choice but to rush her back to her room and get a physician to check on her as soon as possible."

Ellie's heart leaped; she couldn't believe such a ridiculous urban legend. Her tone was still tense as she commanded, "You are not permitted to be in such proximity to her. Do you want our relationship to be severed because of Scarlet's outward demeanor, because the two of us have just made amends? You... you do not uphold the commitments that you have just made."

Hades shook his head and said, "I can assure you that I am not that person. Ellie, I need your help to make this clear to you: my connection to Scarlet is one of a professional nature; I can't let myself perish without being rescued."

"Put her down, I'll call the maid and ask them to take her to her room," Ellie said to the other person. "You should come to our room so that the doctor and the maids can care for Scarlet while you are there."

She was adamant in her denial of Hades' explanation and refused to accept it.

Scarlet retreated in an instant, her entire body showing no sign of stopping its trembling. She grimaced in agony and bit her lip so forcefully that it began to bleed. At first glance, it was clear that she was in excruciating pain, the level of which was most likely beyond what her body could withstand.

Because Hades was getting impatient, he swatted Ellie's hand and said, "Just wait. You, Ellie, really need to get a better grasp on the situation. You should not put it so lightly, as this pertains to the lives of actual people. Because Scarlet's standing is so high, everything we have worked toward, including our joint strategy, will be thrown into disarray if she gets in trouble."

After finishing his sentence, Hades abruptly turned around and began to make his way hastily toward Scarlet's room.

Ellie moved in the direction of the figure of Hades while clenching her teeth and wildly opening her eyes wider. She is behaving as if she is transforming into a vicious beast, glaring belligerently at her adversaries and wanting to eliminate them as quickly as possible.
