Never Late, Never Away Chapter 716
As he spoke, Hunter turned around to help Vivian out of the car. When he finally laid eyes on her, however, he got the shock of his life. He hadn’t managed to get a good look at her before, but she looked so ghastly now that he couldn’t help but feel stunned.
Every inch of Vivian’s skin was covered with a strange shade of red, and her forehead was practically dripping with sweat. Her eyes were glazed over, and it was obvious that she was about to collapse soon.
He got off the car immediately and opened the door on her side. As he half-carried her off the car, he asked, “Vivian, are you alright? How do you feel right now?”
Vivian could hear a small buzz in her ear, as though someone was talking to her. However, try as she might, she couldn’t make out a single word he was saying to her.
Vivian forced her eyes open, trying to see who was standing in front of her. However, she could only see a blurry, faceless figure hovering before her. His body felt so comfortable against her own…
As Vivian continued to gape blankly at him, her legs giving out beneath her slowly, Hunter wondered if she had heard a single word he said.
However, he didn’t have time to think about this sort of trivial matter now. It was more important for him to go and fetch a doctor for her. She was burning up quite severely, and he was afraid that she might suffer some form of brain damage.
He carried her in his arms and flew towards the front door of the Morrison residence. “Is anyone in? Open the door quickly! Is anyone in?”
Hearing Hunter’s loud voice, a maid hurried to open the front door immediately. Seeing how ghastly Vivian looked, the maid looked rather stunned. “What—what’s wrong with Ms. Morrison?”
“She’s having a very high fever, and I’m afraid she’s going to collapse soon. I’ll send her to her room first. Go and give the doctors a call immediately!” Hunter ordered the maid immediately.
“Sir, may I know your name?” Despite the urgency in Hunter’s voice, the maid didn’t leave straight away. After all, she didn’t know who this guy was, and it might be dangerous for her to leave him alone with Vivian.
“I’m a friend of Vivian’s. Don’t worry. I won’t harm her or anything. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have sent her back to her house, would I?” Hunter explained hurriedly. “Go and find a doctor, quick! I’m afraid the fever might cause some damage to her brain.”
