    Cameron''s granddaughter flushed andined, "Grandpa, I''m not thinking about him. He''s just attractive. When I think about it, I don''t think I''ll be able to handle a man like this anyway. I''m not interested in giving myself grief because of him. I''ll be the one suffering."


    Cameronughed and said, "Alright. You''re an intelligent girl for being able to figure that out. Let''s have dinner."


    "Aren''t we waiting for Skr and Caleb?"


    "They''ll be staying at a hotel tonight. They''ve got things to do. Let''s eat."


    The fondue bubbled and smoked before them. Fresh meat and vegetables wereid out on the table.


    Aiken loved having fondue too. Thest time they ate together, he''d paid attention to Skr''s preferences.


    As they ate, Skr''s face flushed. The fondue here was even spicier than the one in Jipsburg. After all, it was a local specialty.


    Aiken handed a napkin to her and said, "Why don''t you wipe at your sweat?"


    "Thank you," replied Skr. She took it from him and dabbed it on her forehead.


    Suddenly, her phone pinged. Skr put the napkin away and picked her phone up. It was a text from Paul. He asked, "Have you gone back to Jipsburg?"


    "Not yet."


    Paul immediately followed up with a call. "I thought you''ve returned to Jipsburg. That''s great! Where are you now? I''ll pick you up. Mr. Martin is drunk. His cold has also turned into a fever. I wanted to bring him to the hospital, but he wouldn''t give in. You''re the only one he''ll listen to now!" Skr could pick up on the panic in his tone.


    Skr''s expression changed. She asked, "Have you taken his temperature?"


    Sometimes, Joe behaved like a little kid.


    "I have. He''s got a high fever. The temperature read 102.2 degrees Fahrenheit."


    Skr hesitated for a moment. Ultimately, she stood up and said, "Where are you guys staying? Send me the address. I''ll head over now."


    Aiken had been observing her expression while she was on the phone. He watched as the smile slid off her face.


    When Skr ended the call, he asked, "What''s going on?"


    "Joe has a fever. I''ve got to go to his


    hotel to check how he''s doing. I''m sorry. Enjoy the rest of your meal. I''ll leave now. When I get back to Jipsburg, I''ll treat you to dinner," said Skr, grabbing her bag.


    Aiken stood up with her and suggested, "My car is outside. I''ll drive you."


    She nced at the sky outside. Skr didn''t refuse it. She said, "Sorry for troubling you."


    30 minutester, his car rolled to a stop in front of the hotel.


    Paul was waiting for Skr by the entrance. Upon seeing Aiken getout of the car with Skr, he froze. Why had Skr showed up with Aiken? Wait, why was he in Zallory? Was it a coincidence? Content belongs to


    Aiken asked, "How is Mr. Martin doing? Do you need my help sending him to the hospital?"


    ?


    Paul came to his senses. He said, "Mr. Martin''s fever has gotten better. It''s around 101 degrees Fahrenheit now He doesn''t need to be hospitalized just yet."


    Aiken nodded and said, "I''ll be leaving now. You can call me if you need me."


    "Alright, thank you."Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    Upon hearing that Joe''s condition had improved and his fever had gone down, relief took over Skr.


    When she followed Paul into the hall, she saw Joe standing before her. She halted abruptly and asked, "Why have youe downstairs?"


    Paul was stunned as well. Why had hee? Hadn''t he been lying in bed? Why would hee downstairs with a raging fever?


    Joe pursed his lips tightly. He stared at Skr with dark eyes. Then, he asked, "Have you been with Aiken all day?"
