Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 752

Chapter 752 Let's Not Tire Her Out

Kelvin didn't answer immediately when Averi called him. She had tried three times before he finally answered. After listening carefully about what happened with Beata, Kelvin said, "Don't worry too much. I'll be there in half an hour or so. I will give Beata an antipyretic injection which will help bring down her temperature." Averi finally breathed a sigh of relief as her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. Before Kelvin arrived, Averi didn't just ignore Beata but focused on giving her a physical cooling treatment.
Beata seemed to be in extreme discomfort and was muttering to herself while tears streamed down her face. She looked particularly pitiful.
After some thought, Averi decided to grab Beata's phone and unlock it with her fingerprint. She found River's phone number and called him.
River answered the phone quickly but his voice was hoarse, since he had probably just woken up from sleep. Averi took a deep breath before speaking, "Mr. Knight, hello. I'm Averi. Sorry for bothering you so late at night but Beata has a fever. Would you mind coming over?"
There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment as River considered what she had said.
It was understandable that receiving a call from a woman asking if he could come over late at night would make anyone suspicious regardless of how reasonable her request may be.
Averi knew this too, but she couldn't afford to worry about such things right now.
Finally, River spoke up, but it was clear that he was trying hard to suppress his anger. "I'll come over."
After hanging up the phone, Averi let out another sigh, knowing that trouble always seemed to find its way towards her no matter what she did or said.
Kelvin arrived half an hour later along with Casey who couldn't help but stare at Averi, due to how stunningly beautiful she looked - exactly Casey's type of woman - an ice queen beauty!
This wasn't Casey's first time meeting Averi though; however, this time, she felt even more excited because they were going over to see Beata together rather than just casually bumping into each other somewhere else like before.
Although normally Casey wouldn't have followed Kelvin if someone else asked him for help like this; knowing it was for Averi, which made all the difference.
Now wasn't really about admiring beauty anymore. They needed to check on Beata's condition first.
Averi led both Kelvin and Casey into the room where they checked on Beata's temperature which had gone down slightly, thanks in part due Averi's efforts earlier.
Kelvin gave Beata an injection for fever reduction before leaving the room with Averi who was leading them out.
"Don't worry too much. She just caught a cold and her body is a bit weak. Just pay more attention in the future," Kelvin said.
Averi nodded, feeling relieved with Kelvin's words.
"If you say so, then I feel much better," Averi replied.
Kelvin chuckled and asked, "It's rare to see you so nervous. Who is this little girl?"
"A younger girl I just met who came to my house to play for the day and got sick. I feel guilty about it," Averi explained.
As they spoke, the doorbell rang.
Averi's nerves instantly tightened as she looked towards the door and took a deep breath before going to answer it.
River stood at the door wearing a black shirt with his sleeves rolled up, revealing his veins on his arms.
Averi didn't know why she focused on River's veins, but it was like some kind of psychological suggestion that he was going to use violence against her. Those hands were likely going to break her neck soon enough.
Although Averi only fell into this thought for a few seconds, she still shocked herself with such thoughts. She cleared her throat and stepped aside, saying, "Mr. Knight, please come in."
River exuded an icy aura as he walked inside without being offered slippers by Averi, but that was because there were no men's slippers available at her place anyway.
Kelvin had also entered directly when he arrived earlier, while River made his way through the entrance hall where he saw Kelvin and Casey in the living room waiting for him
"This is Kelvin. He's a doctor who just gave Beata an injection for fever relief earlier today," Averi introduced them before introducing Casey as well who was Kelvin's wife
River nodded politely before asking Averi where their room was located. Then she led him there.
In the living room, Casey poked Kelvin's arm and said, "Isn't he River? How did Averi know this guy?"
Kelvin was also very shocked and had no idea what was going on.
Kelvin didn't know much about what River was like, and he had only scratched the surface.
But he never thought Averi would be involved with River, no matter what he thought.
In the bedroom.
River walked to the bed and looked at Beata's pale face.
Averi stood behind him in a way she had never felt before.
She wanted to say something, but she could not say anything to River.
However, if she didn't say anything, Averi felt even worse. So, Averi said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Knight, I didn't take good care of Beata. I'm really sorry."
River remained silent and didn't even turn to give Averi a glance. Averi knew he was angry and not lashing out at her was already giving her face.
She didn't say anything more and just lowered her eyelashes. She felt truly sorry for Beata getting sick under her care.
So when River spoke up finally, "Miss Knight, please pack up her things. I'll take Beata home," she replied respectfully with, "Okay, Mr. Knight, please wait a moment."
Averi turned around to pack her things, but heard Beata's voice murmuring behind her, saying, "Not going home... I don't want to go home..."
River had already bent down softly, cooing at Beata and saying, "Beata, be good. You're sick, so go back with me, okay?"
"Wah wah wah... not going home..."Beata cried as if feeling wronged.
Averi felt heartbroken listening to it all, and could only imagine how much worse it must have been for River.
However, after thinking about it for a moment longer, she said to River, "Mr. Knight, since Beata has just started recovering from the fever, why don't we wait until its completely gone before heading back? It might be better not to stress or tire her out in this state."
