Kimberlys voice suddenly pulled me back from my thoughts.
I bit my lip gently, trying to shift my leg.
But Jonathans fingers only tightened their grip.
I lowered my lashes, not daring to move again.
Soon, the car pulled over.
Kimberly immediately whined, asking Jasper to accompany her to the restroom.
Jasper glanced back at me, looking slightly conflicted.
But Jonathan spoke up suddenly, his voice low and steady, Shes asleep.
Jasper seemed to relax at once.
John, Ill just go with Kimmy to the restroom.
Well be back soon.
Jonathan responded with a simple hum.
The car door opened.
Then closed.
Soon, their voices faded away, leaving behind complete silence.
Katherine.
Jonathan suddenly pulled the blanket off my legs.
Youre already sweating.
Arent you hot? I lowered my head even more, not daring to meet his gaze.
I grabbed the water bottle, trying to mask my awkwardness by taking a sip.
But he snatched it from me.
Dont drink so much cold water.
Have you already forgotten the medical advice I gave you? I didnt know where the courage came from, but I suddenly looked up and met his eyes.
Dr.
Claytons medical skills arent all that impressive.
Oh? His brows furrowed slightly.
And whys that? I followed your advice, took the medication, avoided the foods you told me to… But it still hurts.
His frown deepened.
It still hurts? It hurts right now, actually.
I pressed my lips together, tilting my chin defiantly.
Should I come in for another check-up, Dr.
Clayton? Not far outside the window, Kimberly was clinging to Jaspers arm.
The two of them were so close that there wasnt even room for air between them.
Jasper kept pinching her cheek, ruffling her hair affectionately.
They looked like the perfect, inseparable couple.
I felt a simmering frustration, anger trapped in my chest, desperately searching for an outlet.
Before I knew it, I grabbed Jonathans hand.
Or maybe… Dr.
Clayton can fulfill his duty as a doctor right now and examine me? When his hand was about to touch my chest, he quickly pulled away and immediately gripped the back of my neck firmly.
With just a little force, he pulled me right up against him.
Katherine.
He lowered his gaze to look at me.
And I had to tilt my face upward just to meet his eyes.
Dont try to seduce me here.
Seduce you? I met his gaze head-on, refusing to back down.
Dr.
Clayton, are you saying you have no medical ethics? Youd ignore a patient in discomfort and just sit there watching? Before I could finish, he suddenly took off his glasses and kissed me.
That taste was so uniquely hisa faint bitterness mixed with the sterile scent of disinfectant, like it seeped from every inch of his skin, completely enveloping me.
My eyes widened.
Instinctively, I tried to push him away, but his hands only held me tighter.
A small gasp escaped me, but as soon as my lips parted, he took full advantage, deepening the kiss even more.
The air in my lungs was slowly drained away, making my head spin.
First, my legs gave out, then my entire body went weak as if my bones had been taken apart, leaving me unable to support myself.
His fingers gripped my chin, kissing me deeper and deeper.
Even my tongue felt numb.

At some point, my hands clutched at his shirt, wrinkling the fabric in my desperate grip.
Our ragged breaths tangled together, and tears prickled at the corners of my eyes from the overwhelming intensity.
Suddenly, Jonathan stopped.
I tilted my head back, dazed, my eyes still hazy as I stared at himas if silently asking for more.
Jonathan smirked, his fingers brushing away the moisture from the corner of my lips.
No need to rush, Katherine.
Hm? I stared at him, dazed, my mind still spinning.
He leaned down again, planting a soft, lingering kiss on my slightly swollen lips.
His forehead rested against mine, his voice low and husky against my ear.
30 more miles.
When we get there, Ill give you what you want.
