Chapter 165 Layla and Hayden found Shea in a state of unrest. She was mumbling in a low voice, “Brother… Brother…”
The siblings frowned and hurried to her bedside.
Shea’s face was red, and her skin felt really warm. “She’s got a fever again! I am going to get Mommy!” Layla said as she dashed for Avery.
Hayden held Shea’s hands still and tried to comfort her, “Shea! Don’t worry!”
Shea opened her eyes slightly when she heard Hayden’s voice.
She thought that her brother, Elliot, had come to her at last!
Shea felt as if she was dying of heat.
“Brother… hug me…” Shea cried. Hayden felt helpless. He could not hug her as he was too small when compared to Shea.
Hayden waited for his Mommy to tend to Shea. “Brother, do you not want Shea anymore? Why don’t you hug me?” Shea cried hysterically. Streams of tears flowed from her eyes.
Hayden looked just like Elliot as a child. It was no wonder Shea had mistaken him for Elliot.
Avery rushed over to Shea as soon as she heard the news.
She placed her hands on Shea’s forehead. Shea was worse than she had been last night. “This is not good,” said Avery. “We need to take her to the hospital and get a diagnosis now.”
Layla looked at Shea’s flushed face that was filled with despair and asked softly, “Mommy, is she going to die?”
“Don’t worry Layla. Mommy is taking her to the hospital right now.” Avery comforted her daughter as she gave Shea some medicine to bring down the fever.
Laura had gotten up earlier, and she rushed over when she heard the situation.
“Avery, do you think we should call for an ambulance?” asked Laura. Avery considered her suggestion for a moment, struggling to come to a decision.
If she called for an ambulance now, someone was bound to recognize Shea, and they would surely inform Elliot.
Once Elliot got hold of Shea, he would definitely take her to Zoe Sanford.
James had once told her that Zoe was incapable of treating Shea.
