Vanya was concerned over drawing Noah's notice, thus she maintained a vigilant watch on the courtyard. Fortunately, he simply gave his car keys to the helper and went upstairs.
She let out a sigh of relief and continued, "If you ask Noah to treat me and send me abroad, I'll tell you of your child's whereabouts. How about it?"
Chloe stared at Vanya. "I want to know which city my child is in right now."
Gritting her teeth, Vanya revealed, "He's in Docwood. Lightning will strike me if I’m lying to you."

The helper sent Vanya back to her room, and Chloe went to wash her face. When the cold water splashed onto her skin, it brought with it a surreal sensation of stinging. Leaving the bathroom, she slipped under her bed covers. Though it was warm, she felt cold.
When Noah went to call her for dinner, he discovered that she had a high fever. An unusual redness had spread across her fair skin and her lips were slightly cracked. Curled up in bed, she resembled an injured little animal.
He looked at her worriedly and asked gently, "Why didn't you tell me you were having a fever?"
Chloe opened her eyes, but her vision was misted. She wanted to know why Noah had changed. Was it to seize Exotic Star? But there was no need for that. Even if she was here, no one would take the company away from him. Was all his kindness toward her an illusion, or had she never truly understood him?
Noah gazed into Chloe's eyes and thought she was feeling unwell. Worried, he turned and went to find the family doctor. After checking on her, the doctor said, "Mr. Noah, Ms. Chloe just has a cold. She'll be fine after taking some medicine."
"No need for an IV?" Noah asked.
