Chapter 370 Dalton Collapses

Dalton's throat bobbed, his jaw clenched tightly.

His chest heaved with labored breaths, fists clenched, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Perhaps the overwhelming shock was too much for him. Dalton suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed heavily to the ground, losing consciousness.

The pain surged through him like waves. He thought he would rather be stabbed than endure this kind of agony.

Meryl froze, instinctively glancing toward the door.

It seemed like she had heard something.

She wriggled out of Chandler's embrace, intending to check what had happened.

Chandler displeased, pulled her back into bed, holding her tightly.

"Can't even focus on a kiss? Where are you going?"

"I think I heard something outside."

Meryl looked toward the door again. "Did you hear it?"

Chandler, having spent many years in police academy training, had heightened reflexes and sharp hearing far beyond that of an

Of course, he heard it.

Not only that, he could tell it was the sound of someone collapsing.

He suspected Dalton had fainted outside, unable to handle the emotional turmoil.

The thought that Dalton might resort to such a lowly tactic to win Meryl's attention filled Chandler with disdain.

In a low, emotionless voice, Chandler said, "What sound? I didn't hear anything."

Meryl furrowed her brow. She didn't quite believe him. The sound had been loud enough that she was sure Chandler couldn't have missed it.

"I'm going to check."

"Meryl." Chandler's tone grew colder.

Meryl stopped and turned to look at him.

"It's Dalton."

Chandler's gaze was icy. "He's doing this to get your attention. Are you sure you want to go?"

Meryl bit her lip.

She knew Dalton had fallen into the water earlier that night and had been running a fever.

She hadn't expected him to come looking for her, using the excuse of borrowing a bandage from Chandler.

Meryl knew it was just an excuse. Dalton simply wanted to see her.

She understood that she needed to keep her distance from him.

But ever since Dalton's car accident at eighteen, he had suffered long-term consequences. At the time, he had developed a high fever so severe that the doctors had issued a critical condition notice.

Since then, Dalton had been left with lingering health issues.

If his fever continued, he could suffer from febrile convulsions. That could be life-threatening and required immediate care.

Though there had been conflicts between them, Meryl couldn't just stand by and watch him suffer.

After all, he had a car accident because of her.

Meryl hesitated. "Fine, I won't go. But can you open the door and check?"

She worried that something serious might have happened to Dalton outside.

Even if Chandler went to check, it would ease her concerns.

Chandler remained expressionless, his voice cold. "I'm not going."

She felt that even if a stranger had fainted, they couldn't just leave them lying outside.

Chandler gritted his teeth, still refusing to move.

Seeing no other choice, Meryl got up to open the door herself.

Chandler closed his eyes for a moment, his expression dark.

He realized he couldn't let Dalton stay around any longer.

4/4

He couldn't tolerate Dalton's constant attempts to win Meryl's attention with these underhanded tactics.

Dalton had indeed passed out.

He lay pale on the floor, his face ashen. When he collapsed, his head hit the wall, leaving a large bruise on his forehead. Write your comment
