    Chapter 229


    She started feeling disappointed in Liam, and that’s probably when the problems began.


    She knew that her marriage to Liam wasn’t what he wanted, and she understood that he always had


    someone else in his heart. But back then, she was young and full of confidence, thinking that since


    they were married, she could eventually drive away that person in Liam’s heart and take her ce.


    But all of this was just her fantasy In Liam’s heart, that person was always there, and no matter how


    hard she tried or how well she performed, she would never have a ce in his heart.


    Thest time Liam had been feverish, he’d been delirious. Given the severity of his fever this time, it


    was likely no less severe and potentially spurred by an infected wound.


    Even though she was unhappy with Liam, she didn’t want anything bad to happen to him.


    So, after a brief thought, she decided to go.


    Owen hung up the phone, found the fever reducer, and brought a ss of water upstairs.


    At this moment, Liam was lying in bed, one hand on his forehead, frowning, pale, and looking very


    ufortable.


    Owen spoke softly, “Mr. Reed, take your medicine first. Your wife said to check your temperature half


    an hour after taking the medicine, and if your temperature starts to drop, there’s no need to go to the


    hospital.”

    Liam lifted his eyelids, his voice hoarse, “Who told you to call her?”


    Even though he was angry, his words didn’t sound too intimidating because of his fever.


    Owen replied, “I couldn’t find the fever reducer, and your fever is too severe.”


    Liam pursed his lips and finally asked, “Did she say anything else?”


    “She… your wife said she hopes you take your medicine well and that she’s very worried.”


    He didn’t even believe the lie he made up, let alone Liam.


    Liam was silent for a moment and then said coldly, “Get out.”


    “Mr. Reed, please take your medicine first.


    Liam frowned and said sternly. “Get out!”


    Owen didn’t dare to say anything more, so he left the fever reducer on the bedside table and left the


    bedroom.


    He was wondering if he should call his wife when he heard the sound of a car engine outside.


    Owen was startled and hurried downstairs, only to see Celesteing in with the newly purchased


    medicine.


    As soon as she saw Owen, she asked, “Did he take the medicine?”


    Owen snapped back to reality and shook his head, “Mr. Reed refused to take the medicine and kicked


    me out.”


    She knew it would be like this!


    Tll go.” Celeste said before going upstairs. “Owen, if you’re tired, there’s a guest room downstairs. You


    can rest for a while. If his fever doesn’t go down, we might need your help to take him to the hospital.”


    “No problem, ma’am. I’ll be downstairs if you need me.”


    After expressing her gratitude, Celeste quickly went upstairs.


    As soon as she pushed open the bedroom door, Liam threw a ss of water at her. The ss


    shattered on the floor, and Liam angrily said, “I told you to get out!


    Celeste looked at the broken ss at her feet with a lingering fear, then walked in with a slight smile on


    her lips, “We’re not divorced yet, where do you want me to go?”


    Liam’s movements froze, his eyes, now bloodshot, fixed on her. His look was one of resentment and it


    carried a hint of me. A few seconds passed before he asked coldly. “Why have you returned?”


    “Owen said you had a fever, so I came back to check on you. If you’re delirious, I might be able to trick


    you and get a couple of billion more out of you.” Liam’s face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, “In your


    dreams!”


    He could still curse, so he probably wasn’t too sick


    Celeste breathed a sigh of relief and went to touch Liam’s forehead.


    But Liam dodged her with a disgusted look on his face.


    Celeste was both angry and amused.
