President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 84

It took me a long time to hear Sean’s voice, “my books and papers are here. I’ll take them back.”

“Oh...”

His things were here.

I was in a bad mood before and then I was busy working so I forgot about it.

I didn’t open the door, “well, President Jessop, wait a minute. I’ll help you pack up.”

“I want to go in.”

I heard Sean.

Actually, I was hesitating. But I thought although we had divorced, he just came to get things.

We had nothing to do with each other after he got them.

I felt a chill when I opened the door.

Sean stood at the door. He was wearing a gray black coat and there were many snowflakes on his shoulders and head.

I was a little surprised. Didn’t he drive straight to the underground garage? Why was he so cold and there were snow on him?

Was he coming from outside?

But I didn’t want to care about him. When I let him in, I turned around and said, “President Jessop, wait a minute. I’ll help you pack up.”

He didn’t have many things. Just a paper bag could hold them.

I took his books and papers off the bookshelf in the living room. I handed him the paper bag and said politely, “President Jessop, everything is here. You see if there is any omission.”

Sean took the bag and didn’t look at it.

He stared at me and gave a wry smile. “It looks like you’re doing well after the divorce.”

“Yes, I had a good time.”

I pretended to be calm.

I was having a bad time. I felt bad, but I couldn’t tell him.

Sean nodded. “Okay.”

I thought his eyes were a little confused but I didn’t think much about it.

I took Sean to the door and said, “goodbye.”

I closed the door.

But when the door closed, I heard a muffled sound in the corridor. I hesitated and opened it.

I saw Sean lying on the ground with his eyes closed.

“Sean!”

I got nervous all of a sudden. I rushed to touch his face with my hand. But I found his skin very hot.

I touched his forehead and neck and found that Sean was having a high fever!

I called his name and opened his eyes. I was sure Sean was really in a coma.

I hesitated for a moment. I didn’t think he could lie here. I dragged him inside but he was too heavy. I tried my best to move him a little.

I could only call security and asked him to drag Sean into my room.

We put him on the bed.

I picked up the phone and wanted someone to take him away.

But looking at the phone, I was lost again.

Who could I ask to take him away?

I didn’t have a phone number for anyone Sean knew except Molly.

The thermometer showed that his temperature was 39.5 degrees Celsius.

I didn’t understand. Why didn’t he go to the hospital and come to my house when he had a fever?

But I didn’t think too much. I couldn’t go against my heart. I was afraid something would happen to him.

I made an emergency call.

Before the doctor came, I wanted to get a basin of water to help him cool down.

But as soon as I was about to leave, he grabbed me. “Don’t go.”

I looked back at Sean who was unconscious. I was in a bit of a quandary.

“Sean, let go. I’ll get you some water. I’ll be right back.”
