It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1711

Meanwhile, Rain was still on the road. He kept one hand on the wheel while he dialed Tom on his phone with the other. He put it on loud speaker and put it down on the passenger seat. It rang numerous times before Tom finally picked up.

"You brat! Do you know what time it is right now? You better have a good reason or else you're a dead man!" Tom roared. He had just fallen asleep, pissed at Rain's late night call. Rain frowned.

"Dude, relax. I'm driving. This is important. Joyce has a high fever and needs to be treated now. Can I bring her to your hospital or should I just bring her directly to your house?" Rain asked, his eyes glued on the road.

"Oh, damn. I'm sorry. I don't have a lot of medicines here. Send her to the hospital. I'll be there soon. Don't worry," he replied, his tone changing dramatically. Tom rubbed his eyes off from sleep and rolled off the bed. He knew there were a lot of well-equipped doctors at the hospital. A fever was rarely a cause for alarm. But Rain was one of his best friends -- he wasn't going to let him down.

"All right. Thank you, Tom. See you later." Rain stepped down on the gas a bit harder, swerving sharply from left to right. Every second he wasn't there was a second wasted, he thought.

When he arrived at Annie's house, he pulled over and ran to ring the doorbell. It was Huey who opened the door for him, which made Rain frown. He believed he had to talk with Annie on the security problem, as it was very dangerous to allow a kid to open the door. What if it was a bad guy outside the door? But now was not the right time, and he decided to talk to her later. The most important thing right now was to send Joyce to the hospital.

"Daddy, you're here so soon!" Huey was thrilled to see Rain stand outside the house.

"Huey, where's Joyce? Is she okay?" Rain entered the house, shut the door and held onto Huey's hand.

"She's in her bedroom. Mommy is wiping her body with cool towels." Huey raised his head to look at Rain. He couldn't keep his eyes off his father.

Rain came into Annie's view. She opened her mouth to talk, but no words came out.

"Pack some of Joyce's stuff. Clothes, and a couple of toys maybe. I'll drive her to the hospital." Rain had no time to study Annie's feelings right now. He walked up to Joyce and touched her forehead to feel her body temperature, furrowing his frown. Then he wrapped her with a blanket and picked up her.

Annie blinked, finally coming to her senses. "Okay, hold up," she said. She grabbed Joyce's thermos mug and coat. She also got a couple of pajamas and Joyce's favorite stuffed toy.

"Okay. Let's go. Huey, are you coming with us? Or do you want to stay?" Rain said in a soft voice.

"I'll stay here with nanny," he replied. Huey had already thought that he would be more of a hindrance if he came along.

"All right. It's very late. You need to go to bed now. Don't worry. Joyce will be fine." Rain gave Huey a reassuring smile.
