Orion Miller put down the thermometer and continued unbuttoning Chloe Simpson's shirt.
As he worked on the buttons, he coaxed her, "Chloe, don't move. Let me take your temperature. You, as an ER nurse, should know how troublesome a fever can be. If it gets too high, we'll have to go to the hospital!"
"Mm!" Chloe responded absentmindedly.
Seeing her agree, Orion was so ecstatic that he almost jumped for joy.
But he knew that now, at such a crucial moment, he had to stay calm.
His movements unbuttoning Chloe's shirt were incredibly slow, and with each button, his fingers brushed lightly against her skin.
Chloe, who was burning up and in unbearable discomfort, felt the cool touch of Orion's fingers and instinctively drew a deep breath in relief.
With what should've been a simple act of placing a thermometer, Orion managed to turn it into something elaborate.
It left Chloe feeling immensely uncomfortable every single time.
