Just as he was deep in thought, his phone rang.
It was the maid from the vi.
“Mr.
Schultz, your son is running a high fever.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
It seems serious.
He’s passed out!” she said, her voice trembling.
Austin’s frail image crossed Jarrod’s mind, making him wonder how Austin could be so delicate that a simple fever could make him faint.
The maid continued urgently, “The nanny caring for him is crying and begging to take him to the hospital.
What should I do?”
The maid didn’t dare to make decisions on her own, being just a servant responsible for Austin’s daily needs.
The bodyguards outside wouldn’t let Austin leave.
If the manny hadn’t knelt down to emphasize the gravity of the situation, the maid wouldn’t have made the call.
Jarrodmanded without hesitation, “Get the family doctor to take a look.
Hold on!”
He thought of something and quickly said, “Hand the phone to the nanny and let her make one call.
Stay close by and keep track of the time.
”
“Understood, sir.
” The maid was puzzled by Jarrod’s sudden change of n, but she had to follow his orders.
She hurried upstairs, handed the phone to the nanny who was caring for Austin, and ryed, “Mr.
Schultz said you can make a call.
”
The nanny, confused, asked nervously, “Why hasn’t Mr.
Schultz sent us to the hospital yet? Austin is so ill…”
The maid saw Austin’s flushed face and felt a pang of guilt but couldn’t help.
“This is his order.
Are you going to make the call or not?” she asked firmly.
“Yes.
.
Yes, I’ll call,” the nanny replied through gritted teeth.
She knew Jarrod was forcing her to call Nicole.
She had told Austin before that they needed to behave, avoid causing trouble, and not make Nicole worry about them.
The nanny never expected Austin to bear her words in mind and endure his difort in silence until he fainted from a high fever.
Terrified, the manny abandoned her hesitation and called Nicole immediately.
Nicole answered quickly, and hearing her voice, the nanny broke into tears.
“Miss, Austin…”
Nicole stood up in shock.
“What happened to Austin?”
“Austin’s running a high fever, and he’s passed out.
Mr.
Jarrod hasn’t taken us to the hospital.
” the nanny said between sobs.
Nicole’s chest tightened.
After Nicole hung up, Roscoe noticed her worried expression.
“Is something wrong with Austin?” he asked.
Nicole nodded and said, “Austin has a fever.
”
Without hesitation, Roscoe tried to remove his IV.
“I’lle with you to check on him.
”
“No!” Nicole stopped him from pulling out the needle.
“Don’t move.
Keep getting the infusion.
I’ll handle this myself.
”
Nicole was concerned that if Roscoe went with her, Jarrod, unpredictable as ever, could further dy Austin’s treatment.
Nicole, filled with worry, reassured him, “Don’t worry, Roscoe.
I won’t let Jarrod intimidate me anymore.
I’ll stand up to him.
”
She urged Roscoe, “Focus on your recovery.
Once you’re better, we’ll hire awyer and fight to get Austin back.
”
Seeing how determined Nicole was, Roscoe grasped his presence would only worsen the situation.
“Go quickly.
Take care of Austin.
I’ll stay here.
”
