Chapter 121 Recognition

“Byrum, I hope you’re not deceiving me. If I find out you’re up to any tricks…” Kyla paused.

“No, how could I possibly?” Byrum quickly interjected, a bead of sweat forming on his forehead. “Miss Wade, please rest

assured. You can trust me. I’ll start right away and get her design drafts as soon as I can.”

“Good,” Kyla’s tone softened slightly. “Remember, I want her reputation completely ruined. She must never recover.”

“Understood, Miss Wade,” Byrum responded immediately, his heart racing.

“You’ll be well rewarded once it’s done,” Kyla said before hanging up.

Listening to the beeps as the call ended, Byrum exhaled a long sigh of relief.

The next second, his phone chimed with a notification. He opened it to see a transfer of a hundred thousand dollars

displayed on the screen.

A greedy smile crept across Byrum’s face as he gazed at the substantial amount.

Meanwhile, Sadie was deeply focused on preparing for the upcoming project in her studio.

Suddenly, a shrill ringtone shattered the silence.

“Hello?” Sadie answered, her voice weary.

“Miss Hudson, Averi… He’s suddenly got a high fever. It’s really severe, and he’s been crying non–stop…” Carol’s voice was fraught with tears and urgency.

Sadie felt a pang of worry, and the documents she was holding dropped onto the desk.

“A fever? How bad is it? How is he now?” she asked, her voice laced with concern.

“I took his temperature; it’s already 40 degrees. I… I don’t know what to do…” Carol replied, her voice trembling with panic.

“I’m coming right now. Use warm water to sponge him down and make sure he drinks plenty of water,” Sadie said hurriedly, grabbing her coat and dashing out.

“What about Grandma? How is she?” Sadie remembered Laura as she reached the door, her anxiety deepening.

“Laura’s okay, just worried about Averi. I’ve asked her to stay in her room while I look after him,” Carol replied, sounding a bit calmer.

“Good. Take care of Averi and Grandma, I’ll be there soon,” Sadie said, ending the call and sprinting to the parking lot. She started her car and sped toward home.

Throughout the drive, Sadie’s heart was racing.

Averi was her world, the thought of anything happening to him was unbearable.

When Sadie arrived home, she rushed into the room.

Seeing Averi’s flushed face filled her with concern. “Averi… Averi, Mommy’s here. Everything will be alright.”

“He’s still burning up, we need to get him to the hospital right now,”

Sadie said, quickly scooping Averi into her arms.

“I’ll drive,” Carol said, following them swiftly.

At the hospital, the doctor examined Averi and administered a fever–reducing injection.

“Doctor, how is he?” Sadie asked, her voice filled with worry.

“He’s fine. It’s just a reaction to the new environment and the recent weather changes that caused the fever. The injection

will help, and he should recover quickly with some rest,” the doctor said.

Relieved by the doctor’s words, Sadie finally relaxed.

“Thank you, doctor,” she said with heartfelt gratitude.

“You’re welcome. It’s my duty,” the doctor replied with a smile before leaving the room.

Relief washed over Sadie, grateful it was not a serious situation.

She asked Carol to return home to look after Laura, while she stayed with Averi.

As night fell, Sadie dozed off beside Averi’s bed.

The next morning. Averi moaned softly and slowly opened his eyes.

“You’re awake, Averi?” Sadie instantly sat up, feeling his forehead. “How do you feel? Still uncomfortable?”

“Mommy, I’m a bit hungry,” Averi murmured, his voice soft and slightly whiny.
