Since they came back late last night, they all got up late.
It was still drizzling last night, so the air was humid and chilly.
Perhaps from the weather changes, Eric came down with a high fever. Toto was the first to notice and called the doctor. After a while, his fever finally subsided.
Eric could no longer go around and lay in bed looking weak, pale, and fragile.
Floyd was very concerned and visited Eric several times. When Eric was awake, his voice was low and hoarse.
"Chairman Stanton, if you feel bored, I'll have someone arrange a car to take you around. A light drizzle shouldn’t affect your tour. You can still go sightseeing."
Floyd patted Eric’s shoulder. "Forget it. Seeing you like this, I'm also afraid to come down with a fever.”
Eric was speechless.
He swept a glance around the room and looked disappointed when he did not see Nicole.
Floyd coughed. "Lil N said that she wanted to go to the university for a walk before going for a class reunion.
She's getting ready to leave."
Eric's eyes flickered. He coughed and said, "Bring someone..."
"Don't worry, Luca's going with her."
"Take Toto along.” Eric coughed two more times.
Toto regained his senses and immediately understood Eric's intentions. 'Right!'
"Yes, yes, I should come along. Luca and I can protect Ms. Stanton together to ensure she won’t be in any danger. The university must be very crowded. Besides, Luca won’t be as quick-witted as me..."
Floyd was hesitant and did not quite understand what was the use of Toto following.
However, thinking about Nicole’s previous assassination attempt, it was better to be more careful, so one more person would be better.
He simply nodded. "Okay then."
Toto nodded. "Don't worry. With me around, no one can get near Ms. Stanton!"
