Aurora Morales Nurse Practitioner

"Daring to deceive under the dean's nose. Dr. Kimberly, do you still want your future?"

Each word from Aurora Morales made Dr. Kimberly's heart pound with dread.

"You... You..."

How did Aurora Morales know? No! Why did she find out so quickly?

"Oh, right. I forgot to tell you. I'm Ricardo's wife. Didn't you know he was already married?"

Aurora Morales smoothed the collar of Dr. Kimberly's coat bit by bit, speaking each word deliberately.

"Dr. Kimberly. Please, stay away from my man."

Hearing this, Ricardo Vargas watched Aurora Morales with great interest. The way she was defending him was like a feisty, bristling kitten.

Dr. Kimberly glared at Aurora Morales with venom in her eyes. She quickly packed her things and left in a hurry.

Aurora Morales closed the door and looked coldly at Ricardo Vargas.

"If I hadn't come back, were you planning to bring a mistress into our lives?"

Ricardo Vargas smiled. "Are you jealous?"

Aurora Morales averted her gaze. "You helped me, and I should return the favor. It's only fair."

Ricardo Vargas felt a twinge of disappointment.

"Is that so?"

"Mm."

Ricardo Vargas looked at the cake box and found that the cake inside had tilted to one side, with cream smeared everywhere. One could imagine how rushed Aurora Morales was when she ran back.

"I thought you said you'd be home in half an hour. Why are you back so soon?" Ricardo Vargas asked, feigning ignorance.

Aurora Morales was at a loss for words. She had just bought the cake when she received a text message from Don José. The gist was that the old lady had, once again, meddled and brought in a doctor to treat Ricardo Vargas. Aurora Morales immediately investigated the doctor's background and discovered that Dr. Kimberly was not the originally scheduled one. She immediately sensed something was amiss and rushed over.

Instead of answering, Aurora Morales said, "It seems you have quite a few romantic debts. Even with your face like this, there are still women trying to get close to you. She must really be in love with you!"

"Not really. Compared to you, my wife, she's far from it."

At the mention of "wife," Aurora Morales' face flushed bright red. She coughed softly and got up, a bit flustered, intending to leave.

Unexpectedly, Ricardo Vargas directly grabbed her wrist. The heat from his palm was scorching.

"Can I have a bit of your cake?"

Aurora Morales nodded. "Sure, if you want."

Ricardo Vargas opened the box and took out the misshapen cake. He scooped up a spoonful of cream and held it to Aurora Morales' lips.

"I don't want it." Aurora Morales leaned back, avoiding his gesture.

Ricardo Vargas took a bite himself and nodded. "It's sweet."

"Then eat more."

Ricardo Vargas didn't hold back and took bite after bite. The cake wasn't big, and soon he had eaten two - thirds of it.

Aurora Morales propped her chin up with her hand, looking at him with a hint of surprise. Boys who liked sweets seemed rather uncommon.

The more he ate, the more Ricardo Vargas felt something was wrong. He lowered his head, his fringe covering his expression.

Aurora Morales watched for a while and then went to take a bath. She didn't expect that when she came out, Ricardo Vargas was still sitting there, maintaining the same position without moving.

"Haven't you finished eating yet?"

Aurora Morales walked past him and sat in front of the vanity mirror, picking up the hair dryer to dry her hair.

Suddenly, Ricardo Vargas, who had been silent all this time, lunged at her! Before Aurora Morales could react, she was pulled to the bedside by him! The man in front of her was acting very strangely. His eyes were slightly red, and his breathing was heavier than usual. Most importantly, his whole body was as hot as if he had a fever, burning to the touch!

Aurora Morales suddenly remembered that there were some substances added to the aromatherapy candle that Dr. Kimberly had lit. She had seen that there wasn't much of the burning part of the candle left and thought Ricardo Vargas wouldn't be affected, so she hadn't warned him. But she never expected...

"Ricardo, calm down!" Aurora Morales' voice trembled as she spoke. She really should have told Ricardo Vargas earlier! Now she was in a difficult situation!

"Aurora..."

"Listen to me. The dosage of this drug should not be large!" Aurora Morales crossed her arms in front of her body, creating a safe distance between them. "You should go take a cold shower in the bathroom right now. Maybe it'll help. I'll call the doctor immediately and get you a sedative injection!"

"It's too late..."

"No, it's not! It definitely isn't!"

Aurora Morales looked towards the door. She had never felt that such a short distance could seem so long!

"Five minutes. I can definitely contact the family doctor within five minutes. Half an hour... No, fifteen minutes. The doctor can be here in as little as fifteen minutes at the fastest!"

Ricardo Vargas chuckled softly in her ear. His deep, magnetic voice was a bit hoarse, and it was incredibly charming.

"What are you afraid of? We're just going to do... what we didn't do on our wedding day."

Aurora Morales shuddered. A chill ran up her spine.

"Aren't you my wife? This... seems like something you need to fulfill."

Aurora Morales swallowed hard. Remembering that night at the hotel, she still didn't know who had taken her virginity. That incident was still fresh in her mind, and now the same kind of situation was about to happen again. She really... couldn't bear it!

"Ricardo, listen to me." Aurora Morales' mind raced, hoping to find a reason to persuade him. "You... Your condition isn't cured yet."

"Don't you already know that I'm not sick? When I had that nosebleed, we both knew it."

"I..."

"Aurora, don't be afraid."

Aurora Morales shook her head vigorously, like a rattle. "No, no, absolutely not!"

Ricardo Vargas looked at her, suppressing his feelings. "Then are you really willing to see me suffer like this?"

"Ricardo, no matter what you say today, it won't work! If you..." Before she could finish, Ricardo Vargas had already lowered his head and kissed her passionately!

The moment their lips met, Aurora Morales' mind went blank with a loud buzz. A burning hand landed on her waist...
