“Is it that serious?” I let out a sigh of relief when I heard that it was curable and told the doctor, “Please prescribe him some medication, and I’ll make sure he takes them on time.”
“Okay. Mr. Lane’s fever may go on for a while longer, but that’s just a side effect of the medication, so it’s nothing to worry about. He’ll wake up once the medicine takes effect.” The doctor hooked Christopher up to an IV drip and touched his forehead as he continued, “There, see? He’s got a fever already. This means the medicine is working well, which is good news. We don’t want it to remain dormant inside his system.”
Christopher’s fever was so high that it burnt my hand just touching his forehead, and I began to regret only slapping Monica once earlier. Da*n it, I should’ve slapped her a couple more times for what she did to Christopher! She claims to love him with her life, and this is how she shows her love for him?
Having finally calmed down, Julia turned toward me and asked, “What on earth are you guys talking about? Why is Chris sick? What exactly happened to him? What is this drug that you mentioned?”
I know that look in her eyes. She has connected the dots and is asking me if Monica is the one responsible for Christopher’s condition! As expected of a strong and independent businesswoman…
With that in mind, I let out a sigh and nodded in response. Julia was shocked by the revelation and froze for a moment before regaining her composure. “How did this happen? Monica wouldn’t do such a thing…” she mumbled under her breath as she reached out to touch Christopher’s forehead.
