Mistaking The CEO For A Gigolo Chapter 1717
Chapter 1717 Fever And Chill
“I was worried their condition would deteriorate if I dyed their treatment, so I tried to direct them to
other highly skilled doctors, but they didn’t want to leave. They said they had gone to many hospitals,
and none of them could help. All I could do was try my best. For now, I hope Wesley can reply to me as
soon as possible.”
“Don’t overwork yourself.”
“All right.”
When midnight came, Evan reached for Nicole instinctively, but his hand came up empty, even when
he reached further.
Cracking his eyes open, he saw the tablemp by the desk was lit, and Nicole was sitting underneath
its glow, flipping through medical books.
Her expression was serious as she focused on her task.
Evan stared at her silently, seeing the glow from themp shining upon her as she flipped page by
page. She didn’t notice he was staring at her.
Maybe she didn’t want to wake him up, so she had themp dimmed to a soft glow. Once in a while,
she kept rubbing her irritated eyes.
She was anxiously flipping through the pages since she could not find any record of fever and chill
manifesting simultaneously when suddenly a pair of hands closed her book shut.
Looking up, she saw Evan standing beside her. He gave off a sense of gentleness and casualness
from the soft glow of themp.
“Why are you awake?”
“I can’t sleep if you’re not sleeping next to me. That’s enough reading for today. Let’s go to bed.”
Nicole hesitated as she considered bargaining with him to let her read for a little longer. Not letting her
have that chance, Evan immediately set the book aside and bent down to carry her. He then gently
ced her down on the soft, inviting bed.
He even thoughtfully covered her with a nket. Seeing the fatigue on her face, he softly coaxed,
“Sleep tight.”
It was just like Evan for him to be domineering, even when he was caring for others. He didn’t even
give her a chance to negotiate.
With that, Nicole shut her eyes with a small smile.
Evan continued to stare at her silently. Her sleeping face was beautiful, but he noticed she had lost
some weight.
Since she was that worried about her new patients, he wanted to help her.
Picking up his phone, he texted John.
At this moment, John was sleeping soundly, so it was already six in the morning when he saw Evan’s
message.
A frown appeared on his forehead as he read the message.
“Fever and chill symptoms? Why is he asking me to check on it when Mrs. Seet is proficient in medical
stuff?”
Thinking about it, maybe this is for Mrs. Seet.
At that thought, he immediately called Nicole’s number.
“Hi, good morning, Mrs. Seet,” he greeted cheerfully.
However, the reply he had gotten was from a familiar, deep, husky voice. “It’s me.”
Pausing briefly, he continued, “Good morning, Mr. Seet. I just saw your message. I want to ask what
exactly is the patient’s condition for the fever and chill symptoms that you asked me to look into?”
“The patient would alternate between having a fever and getting a cold. It happens continuously.”
“Is that so? Then it’s like being in summer one minute, then winter the next.”
“Exactly. Have someone look into it quickly.”
“Yes, sir.”
“You don’t have to go into the office today, so put all your efforts there.”
“Understood.”
Just as he hung up the call, Nicole came out of the bathroom. “Who was it?”
“John.”

“Did he need something from me?”
“It was nothing. He just called to check on you.”
Hearing that, Nicole smiled. She didn’t expect John to be so thoughtful as to give her a call during
festive holidays.
“Breakfast is ready. Let’s head down.”
“Sure.”
After breakfast, Evan headed to thepany while Nicole headed to the hospital as usual. Nina was
about to leave for the office when she heard Maya sigh.
“What’s wrong, Maya?”
“I want to terminate the contract with Wilbur’spany so he can stop supplying me with ingredients,
but I have to discuss the termination with him face-to-face. I really don’t want to see him!”
