    aring Paul defend Joe, Skr didn’t press any further.


    ere was nothing between them? Then, why did Joe rush to the hospital when Vera went there?


    Skr Isn’t that naive.


    eing Skr just smile without saying anything, Paul felt uneasy. He could sense that something was


    off. s. Ruelling to Fachington was purely coincidental. They also stayed at the same hotel by


    chance. I n guarantee there’s absolutely nothing between Mr. Martin and Ms. Ruell.”


    ul’s assurance sounded a bit forced. After all, Joe had met Ver orning.


    yesterday and again earlier this


    ul was sure that Joe had never been interested in Vera before, but his behavior these past two days


    is puzzling.


    that so?” Skr replied, but she didn’t ask further. Paul’s demeanor had already revealed enough,

    ow high is his fever now?” she asked.


    ul answered quickly, “It was over 100 degrees when Ist checked, but I haven’t taken his


    temperature cently. I think it’s gotten worse.”


    o you have any medicine for fever?” From N?velDrama.Org.


    es, Dr. Grey told me to bring some just in case.”


    r nodded and said, “Go get the medicine, I’ll go check on him.”


    ter entering the room, she saw Joe lying in bed. He was wrapped tightly in a nket, with only his


    head posed.


    was likely that the fever was making him feel cold. But despite that, he still refused to take any


    edicine.


    e had known about his aversion to medicine during hisst hospitalization.


    proaching the bed, Skr grabbed the thermometer nearby and took his temperature. It was 102


    grees Fahrenheit.


    r sighed. How could he not be in the hospital or taking any medicine with a fever like this? Did he


    nk he was made of steel? The flu wasn’t something to be taken lightly.


    ddenly, Joe opened his eyes and looked up at her.


    on seeing Skr, he seemed surprised for a moment but then stared intently at her and asked,


    “Why 1 youe back?”


    1. r. Ziegler called me, saying you have a fever. The flu is rampant here in Fachington. You and


    Natalie >bably caught the same flu, but your fever hassted too long without breaking. You

    Joe frowned again. “Take medicine?”


    He didn’t t–out refuse but seemed to question it.

    “Nath had a fever all morning. She thought it was nothing, but it left her feeling weak. After taking


    some medicine, she’s much better now and will likely recover after a good night’s rest.


    “Do you really want to keep suffering, through this fever for the next few days? I read on the way


    here that this flu causes recurrent fevers for two to three days. It’s really tough. So, let’s take the


    medicine and get your fever down.”


    As she spoke, Skr’s tone softened, bing gentler


    When Joe heard her saying, “Let’s,” the heaviness he had been feeling all day suddenly lifted.


    So, he took the opportunity to make a request. “I’ll take the medicine, but can you stay and sleep


    with me? It’s too cold, and I can’t fall asleep.”


    Skr looked down at him, feeling like he was being quite shameless.


    Just then, Paul entered the room with the medicine in hand. “Mrs. Martin, I got the medicine.”
