How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 62

Two days later, her wound had gotten worse, turning red, swollen, and oozing with pus, along with a fever.

It was only because Melvin noticed she hadn’t shown up at school that he decided to rush her to the hospital with a high fever of 104°F.

Morwenna felt certain that if Melvin hadn't arrived just in time, she might have ended up delirious with a fever.

So when Stuart got injured and Fletcher urged caution to prevent the wound from getting infected, she was on edge.

Hearing Fletcher say it was nothing serious finally allowed her tightly wound nerves to relax.

Stuart darkened his expression slightly.

It was the first time in days he had seen Morwenna smile so brightly, but that smile wasn't for him, it was for Fletcher.

Stuart squinted at Fletcher, who was still chatting and laughing with Morwenna, his grin as cunning as a fox.

Suddenly, feeling a chill down his spine, Fletcher excused himself, “Uh, Mrs. Hetfield, I’ve got things to handle. I'll head out first.”

Morwenna stood up to see him off, “Dr. Vaughn, take care.”

“No need for seeing me off.”

Fletcher left in a hurry as Stuart's aura seemed to darken with jealousy.

Stuart was actually jealous!

It was hard to tell whether Stuart was just pretending to care for Morwenna, or if he truly harbored feelings for her.

Morwenna, with her genuine nature, was hard not to like once you got to know her.

Nevertheless, he had to head back to prepare for the banquet.

The elder members of several prominent families took turns organizing private banquets.

Essentially, they were friendly meet-ups for the elders, providing an opportunity for the younger generation to mingle too.

This time, the banquet was hosted by the Vaughn family.

Fletcher felt if he didn’t start organizing soon, his crafty grandfather might just pull a fast one on him.
