Adrian voiced in a sleepy yet dominating tone that left both Clara and Austin puzzled.
His eyes were closed however his sense were alert, that his hold around Clara's hand tightened instantly.
....
The two glanced each other meaningful before Austin changed his mind and retreated.
"Please let me know if you need anything,Miss Mathew" Austin said and left the room leaving Adrian under Clara's care.
Turning towards Adrian, Clara once again check his temperature.
He was still burning and to get that fever down, she had to make him something to eat.
"Adrian, can you let go off my hand for a minute" Clara said.
She expected him to hear her but when he didn't answer, she frown.
Clara thought for a moment and slowly try to pull her hand out from Adrian's hold.
She mentally prayed he wouldn't wake up and that's what happened.
Adrian was fast asleep that he didn't realize the movement of her hand and let it go.
