Nicole went home together with Samuel. She felt a little tired.
Samuel noticed her weariness and asked Wendy to fill the tub for her. He said to Nicole softly, "You go take a bath and a nap. I'll wake you at dinner time."
Nicole wanted to say that she was fine, but she was exhausted, so she just nodded.
She went to the bedroom, and Samuel followed.
Samuel knew that Nicole was somewhat out of sorts, and he couldn't help but blame himself when he remembered that he had made love with her over and over again.
When Nicole was bathing, Samuel received a call. Some company documents were awaiting him to deal with online, so he went straight to the study.
Nicole felt as if she had come back to life during the hot bath.
It seemed that the fainting was normal, and there was no evidence that Viola had done anything. However, Nicole felt that something was wrong.
'Did I miss something?'
Or was it that Viola played her cards better than before?
Nicole fell asleep thinking about these.
Samuel went to the bedroom after handling the documents. He frowned when he found that Nicole was not on the bed.
He walked into the bathroom and saw Nicole leaning against the bathtub and falling asleep.
Her face was a little red.
It was a gut-wrenching scene for Samuel. He strode forward to carry Nicole out, wiped her body dry but found that Nicole's temperature was frighteningly high.
"Nicole, Nicole, wake up."
Samuel tried to wake Nicole up.
Nicole only felt that someone was calling her, but she could not lift her eyelids. She felt hot and unwell.
She twisted her body, so uncomfortable that she almost cried.
"Samuel, I feel cold. And I feel hot."
The discomfort almost drove her crazy.
Samuel blamed himself for not coming to her early and called Ashley hurriedly.
Ashley was still at the racecourse and was surprised to hear that Nicole had a fever.
"What happened? Wasn't she all right when you guys left?"
Samuel didn't know what to say.
Nicole was indeed all right when she woke up in the morning, but Edwin's fainting made her nervous.
When Ashley arrived, Nicole couldn't even recognize her because of the fever. Nicole just kept babbling.
"Why does she have such a high fever? Where did you guys go just now?"
Ashley examined Nicole right away.
Samuel whispered, "Grandfather fainted. We went to the hospital."
"She shouldn't have a fever just because of that."
Ashley looked serious.
"Let's do a blood test first."
There were inspection instruments in Samuel's house. Ashley drew blood from Nicole and did the test.
Fifteen minutes later, Ashley's expression was even more serious.
"It seems like an inflammation."
Ashley remembered Nicole's condition and couldn't help but ask, "Did you guys control yourselves last night?"
Samuel was embarrassed by this topic, but for Nicole's health, he shook his head honestly.
"You know that Nicole is in poor health, and you'd better not have sex so often. She needs to have an anti-inflammatory intravenous drip now. Let's see if she would get better."
"OK."
Samuel had been bestriding the business world, but now, he was like a primary school student in front of Ashley because of Nicole.
After performing the emergency treatment, Ashley said to Samuel in a worried tone, "Let me and Blair take care of the kids. You focus on Nicole."
"Thanks."
Samuel thought the same thing.
Nicole only felt a cool liquid flowing into her body from the blood vessels of her wrist. Her temperature was temporarily stable. But she was still not feeling well.
She fell asleep again. She didn't know when Ashley left or when the intravenous drip was finished.
Nicole's temperature dropped a bit. Ashley said to Samuel, "You are clear about her condition, and you need to keep an eye out for her tonight. Her temperature may not be stable due to the inflammation."
"I see."
Samuel nodded.
Ashley added something else before leaving.
Samuel was looking after Nicole all the time.
He was stressed as Nicole's temperature was still unstable.
Wendy looked at him and asked, "Mr. Green, shall I make some congee? Mrs. Green can have some when she wakes up."
"Go."
Samuel only said a word. He was overwhelmed with guilt.
He was too impatient.
He knew clearly that Nicole was under the weather. How could he not control his desire?
The afternoon passed in the blink of an eye. Zac came home at night. He knew that Nicole was sick and bought some fruit for her.
Samuel asked him to put the fruits aside and continued to take care of Nicole.
Nicole was in a coma all this time. When her temperature was high, Samuel cooled her down, but it didn't take long for her temperature to rise again.
In the middle of the night, Nicole's temperature soared. Her body was burning.
Samuel was frightened.
He called Ashley again.
Lucas was at Blair's for psychological consulting, and Gabrielle was pregnant. Samuel did not want the kids to worry, so he could only ask Ashley for help again and again.
Ashley frowned when she arrived.
