Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 768

Chapter 768 

After she left, Elliot called the family doctor once again and said, "I‘m fine. You don‘t have to come now."

The doctor was slightly confused. "Mr. Foster, I‘m already on the way there. Why don’t I come and have a look?" 

Elliot hung up. He reached up to touch his forehead and noticed that his skin was slightly hot to the touch.

He did not realize that he had a fever before Avery arrived. Though he did feel unwell, it did not affect his work; after Avery‘s visit, however, he felt as though all strength had been drained from him.He lied down on the bed and tried to empty out his emotions, but no matter how many times he tried, his effort ended in failure. 

Whenever he tried to forget about what happened earlier, Robert‘s face would appear in his mind.

Robert‘s adorable, little face, and his bright, curious eyes were like a blinding ray of light that pierced through the darkness. 

By the time the doctor arrived at Elliot‘s mansion, Elliot‘s had already drifted off to sleep. 

The doctor touched his forehead and realized that Elliot‘s temperature was exceptionally high. He immediately took out the thermometer and checked Elliot‘s temperature. 

The screen of the thermometer showed that his body temperature had reached 38.9 Celsius. 

Normally, one would have to take medication for fever once their body temperature exceeded 38.5 Celsius, but because Elliot was asleep, the doctor could only place him on fluid infusion. 

The next morning, Elliot opened his eyes and his fever had been brought down. His body no longer felt heavy and his headache had subdued. 

Ever since Shea passed away, he had been drowning in sorrow, which led to insomnia. The lack of sleep had caused the headache in the end. 

Catching a cold this time had given him a good night’s sleep; he felt more energized and less depressed.He lifted the blanket and sat up, before noticing the medicine and note left on the nightstand by his doctor. 

He picked up the note and saw that there was instruction on the dosage of medicine also a reminder for Elliot to take care of himself. 

Elliot set the note down and got out of bed to open the curtains at the window.It was not snowing, and the snow in the yard from before was slowly melting away under the bright, golden light. 

He turned around and walked into the bathroom.
