Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 751

Chapter 751 Putting Her Body First

Averi didn't expect Beata to ask this question. She always thought that at her age, Beata would care most about privacy and personal space. So she hadn't planned on sharing a room with Beata.
But since Beata brought it up, Averi smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course you can if you want to."
Beata immediately became happy and almost cheered. She hugged Averi tightly and said affectionately, "Averi, why are you so good? You'll spoil me like this."
Averi replied with a smile, "You're so cute. Is there something wrong with spoiling you?"
Beata's eyes rolled around before she said innocently, "It's not that I care much about it myself but what will my brother do in the future? With me as his sister, he might never marry!"
Averi was speechless. Anyone who heard what Beata just said would think her intention was too obvious.
"If your brother hears you say that, he'll be heartbroken," Averi replied.
"Will he?" asked Beata blinking innocently. "But I'm just stating the fact here. Anyway, if I ever look for a boyfriend, then my potential sister-in-law should be taken into consideration."
Averi laughed and reassured her, "Don't worry. Your future sister-in-law will definitely love someone as cute as you are."
Beata sighed inwardly but didn't say anything else out loud, because she knew some things couldn't be rushed. Otherwise, they could have an opposite effect on people's minds.
She needed to plan carefully how to make the two people she liked go in the direction she wanted them to go without causing any trouble right now.
Not wanting to cause any trouble anymore for now, Beata turned back into a little girl who loved playing with cats again while Averi answered an incoming call, leaving her alone. Beate was playing with her five cats which had already become very fond of her, especially since they got all sorts of treats from her hands, which made them feel like they were being spoiled by some kind of princess!
They surrounded her, rubbing against her legs and trying every trick, including acting cute or playful. By doing so, they could get more treats from their new friend! Beata wasn't upset at all. She felt like she had never been so happy in her life. These little cats were like a healing balm for her soul, if only she could stay with them forever.
After finishing up a few work tasks, Averi was about to ask Beata what they should have for lunch when she received a message from Aimee asking about Beata's situation. Averi called Aimee back and explained that Beata would be staying with her.
Aimee didn't want to interfere with who Averi chose to be close to, but she did offer a word of caution, "Just be careful around River. He can be dangerous."
Averi chuckled and said, "Aimee, you never used to worry about things like this before. What's changed?"
The old Aimee was fearless and would fight anyone who crossed her path without hesitation. But now she seemed more cautious.
"I've mellowed out a bit," admitted Aimee. "But if he tries anything on you, I'll take care of him."
Averi smiled and said, "That's the Aimee I know! But really, I don't think he'll do anything."
Although River clearly didn't like her very much, Averi understood why he might feel that way. If it was her sister being friendly with some stranger out of nowhere, she'd probably feel the same way too.
But as far as she was concerned, there was nothing wrong with how close Beata had become to her- it wasn't hurting anyone else after all.
It might sound selfish, but for now, at least it helped ease the tension between them both - after all, there were already enough pressures in their lives if worrying about other people's opinions too much. After hanging up the phone, Averi left her study and found Beata sleeping on the couch with a hairless cat in her arms. She felt helpless seeing that the young girl was sleeping right under the air conditioning vent without any concern for catching a cold.
Averi walked over and covered Beata with a small blanket before adjusting the air conditioning to blow in another direction. To prevent Beata from getting sick, Averi went to the kitchen to make ginger soup.
However, she had overestimated Beata's physical condition. Later that night, Beata still developed a fever. As Averi slept, she heard some murmurs and felt like there was a furnace next to her.
Averi immediately realized something was wrong and turned on the bedside lamp, only to see that Beata's temperature had risen significantly due to fever.
Averi reached out and touched Beata's forehead; it was already about 39 degrees Celsius just by feeling it with her hand. She quickly grabbed a thermometer and took her temperature again, which showed 39. 6 degrees Celsius.
Averi became nervous at once, because if anything happened to Beata while staying with her, she might end up on River's hit list for real this time.
Bending down close to Beata's ear, Averi whispered softly, "Beata, wake up! Let's go see a doctor together since you are sick now." However, due to being delirious from feverishness already at this point of time, Beate couldn't hear what Averi said clearly anymore.
Looking at little red face of hers, which looked so uncomfortable, as well as hearing those murmurs coming out of her mouth, Avieri felt heartbroken beyond words.
Since they couldn't go straight to hospital right now, Averi could only grab some antipyretic patches first for physical cooling purposes. However, this time, Beate's fever came fast and furious without any sign of slowing down, despite using these patches.
Feeling helpless after trying everything possible, Averi hesitated but eventually picked up her phone and called Kelvin. It wasn't really appropriate timing given their current situation, but calling Aimee would be even more inappropriate since she was pregnant now and all decisions must be made based on prioritizing her health condition.
