CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161 Lilian Had A Fever

Lilian had a fever.

The fever was higher than ever before, 42.5 degrees Celsius, which terrified the doctor when he saw it.

He hurried to cool her down physically, administered fever-reducing medication, and used any drugs that should be used.

Francis stood quietly to the side, his gaze falling on her wrist.

Her wrist was raw with a circle of broken skin, which after blistering, had red dots that were more obvious, whitish flesh, and deep indentations that were especially conspicuous.

After two hours of busy work, when the doctor saw the temperature drop on the thermometer, he collapsed exhausted into a chair.

"Mr. Landau, the fever has subsided, it's now 39 degrees. We'll check again in the middle of the night to see if it rises again. If it doesn't, then it should be fine."

Francis nodded, then asked, "Does she have any other injuries?"

The doctor paused, as he had been busy trying to lower Lilian's temperature and hadn't noticed that.

"I'll check again," said the doctor, who noticed Lilian's wrist injury at first glance.

He took Lilian's hand and lifted the quilt to look at her ankle.

"This... It seems that Ms. Rossum has been tied up? These are abrasions from struggling. Looking at this part, the rope has nearly cut into the flesh."

"There are also bruises, I'm not sure if they are from being hit or from a fall."

Francis pursed his lips, staring at the person on the bed, without saying a word.

The doctor looked at her head and face, "There seems to be a wound on the head, and some bleeding from the scalp, which looks like someone pulled her hair."

As the doctor spoke, his voice trailed off, what kind of torment had she undergone?

He glanced back at Francis.

Francis's expression was unreadable, but his eyes were complex, "Mr. Landau..."

"Treat her well, if you can't, then you might as well die," Francis suddenly spoke, startling the doctor with his words.

The doctor looked at him dumbfounded, this man seemed not to be bluffing.
