Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 82

The moment I saw him, I paused, then asked with a concerned expression, "Why haven't you left yet? Still not feeling well?"

He glanced up at me, a faint smile on his face. "Waiting for a call!"

That's when I noticed, on the coffee table in front of him, two identical black smartphones.

I instantly understood his intention. He was testing me. He had started to suspect me.

I walked over with the bag in my hand, put it on the coffee table, right next to those two phones.

Then I lazily sank into the couch and said, sounding weak, "Walking a few steps tires me out!"

He glanced at the bag I had put down. "What did you buy?" he asked.

I smirked silently. Gotcha.

"Just passed by a pharmacy and bought a few boxes of medicine. The ones at home have all expired!" I responded, yawning continuously, "Luckily, I found a box of Tylenol in your car. You had such a high fever last night, you can't not take any medicine. Get yourself to a hospital for a checkup when you have some time, don't be careless!"

I didn't say anything more.

"It's fine, just caught a cold. I'm much better today! No need for a hospital visit." Jaylan said carelessly, "I did feel pretty awful last night."

Not going? Well, keep digging your own grave then!

I figured it must be his STD acting up.

"You guys, always reluctant to go to the hospital. You can't take a fever lightly, especially since your temperature was so high last night." I said honestly. I didn't know if Zora had told him that his temperature had reached 102.5°F.

"Maybe it's just a bad cold." he said without a care.

"You should keep your distance from the kids, let Zora mark their cutlery separately. Kids have lower immunity! They also have to go to school, so don't neglect this!" I said sincerely, feeling worried.

"Alright! I'll leave once I get the call! Let Zora sanitize the cutlery!" he deliberately picked up the two phones and fiddled with them.

I didn't even look at him. "Well, you wait then. I'm going upstairs to take a nap, didn't sleep well last night, my head's buzzing!"

I then got up, didn't forget to remind him, "Let Zora put the medicine in the medicine box later! Oh, and take some more Tylenol before you leave. If your fever comes back, let me know. I'll go with you to the doctor."
