Chapter 1291
After receiving the order, Stanley rushed out of the study. When he was making his way downstairs,
he bumped into Auntie Cherry who came to deliver tea. ''Auntie Cherry, Master Jayden can''t have
tea while he is on medication."
"I know Master Jayden can''t have tea. This is for you." Auntie Cherry poked her head out and
looked upstairs. "Mr. Pierson, did something happen to Dr. Thames?"
"How did you know, Auntie Cherry?" Stanley stared straight into Auntie Cherry''s eyes, as if saying
to her, "You care so much about Dr. Thames. Are you her aplice?"
Stanley''s intense gaze sent a shiver down Auntie Cherry''s spine, but she had no idea why he was
staring at her like this. She hurriedly exined, "When I went out today, I saw the police and heard
someone talking about somebody dying yesterday. I don''t know if it was Dr. Thames. So I came to
ask you for information."
Stanley sized Auntie Cherry up and asked, "Auntie Cherry, were you close with Dr. Thames?"
Auntie Cherry said earnestly, "Dr. Thames hade here often to treat Master Jayden.
asionally, she would chat with me. I feel that she was a friendly person and never put on airs in
front of us. So, it upsets me to learn that something has happened to her."
"Auntie Cherry, you may not have heard that the reason why Master Jayden was unconscious for
such a long time was because of Dr. Thames." Like Auntie Cherry, Stanley used to think Dr.
Thames was a kind person. Little did he know that Dr. Thames had such a cunning side to her that
she dared toy a finger on his boss.
Stanley wouldn''t be so angry if he himself was the target of Dr. Thames. However, when he thought
of her trying to harm Jayden, his anger spiked.
In his opinion, Dr. Thames had died too easily. If she were to fall into his hands, he would''ve made
her beg for mercy.
"Mr. Pierson, what did Dr. Thames do to Master Jayden?" Auntie Cherry asked worriedly.
Stanley warned, "Auntie Cherry, don''t bring up Dr. Thames in this house anymore. Just do your job
well and don''t poke your nose into other affairs. You should know Master Jayden''s character. He
hates his subordinates talking about him behind his back. Therefore, it''d be best that you don''t ask
anything."
"Thanks for reminding me, Mr. Pierson. Have a cup of hot tea before you leave."
"No, thanks. It''s a hassle to use the toilet in the cold winter." With that, Stanley walked out in a hurry.
Looking at Stanley''s back, Auntie Cherry shook her head, wondering, "What the hell is going on?"
How was Master Jayden''s condition rted to Dr. Thames?
There were a lot of questions that she could not figure out.
On second thought, Auntie Cherry decided to not dwell on it. After all, she was not in the position to
worry about it.
As long as she tried her best to do her job, she would be safe from trouble.
Silvia had woken up. Still in a daze, she kept her eyes closed and fumbled around the bedside table
to get hold of the thermometer so that she could measure Jayden''s body temperature. However,
she could not feel Jayden with her hands.
Silvia opened her eyes instantly. After confirming that the space beside her was empty, she
immediately sprung up. "Jayden, where have you gone?"
Jayden was nowhere to be seen in the bedroom and also the bathroom. Silvia quickly grabbed a
coat and put it on, wanting to look for Jayden. She had just ced her hand on the door handle
when the door was opened from the outside. It was Jayden.
Seeing that it was Jayden, Silvia felt a huge sense of relief. However, she was still angry with his
sudden disappearance. "Young Master Kyle, are you deliberately making me worry about you?"
"What did I do?" Jayden asked in confusion.
ring at him, Silvia said, "Come here. Let me measure your body temperature."
Jayden chuckled and said, "Just talk to me nicely if you are worried. With you so acting as fierce as
a lioness, you may lose me, you know?"
"Oh, really? Fine. You can chase me out anytime." Silvia scanned the infrared thermometer across
his forehead. The temperature showed 38 degrees. "You still have a slight fever. Lie down on the
bed. I''ll call Dr. York toe and have a look."
"Okay." To Silvia''s surprise, Jayden listened to her obediently. Laying down on the bed, he said, "I''m
too weak. Can you help me with the quilt?"
"Why were you still moving around when you''re already in such a state? I''ll just ignore you if you do
it again." Silvia ranted at him, but she did not slow down in the slightest. Just when she held her
hand out to pull the quilt, Jayden grabbed her hand. "Hey, what are you doing..."
With a swift movement, Jayden pulled Silvia into his arms. He had answered her question with his
action. "It''s only 38 degrees, there''s no need for Dr. York. Just let me hug you and I''ll be fine."
"Are you out of your mind?" Silvia was exasperated that Jayden seemed to not care about his own
health at all. She lifted her hand, wanting to punch him, but stopped as she could not bear to do so.
In the end, she hugged him back and said, "I am not a fever reducer. How can I bring down your
fever just by hugging you?"
Jayden rested his chin on top of her head and took in the fragrance of her hair, "You are not only a
fever reducer to me, but also a miracle medicine that can cure all illnesses."
Silvia enjoyed listening to his sweet words, but now was not the time for flirting. She couldn''t have a
peace of mind as long as his body had not recovered. "Jayden, let me tell you, I won''t stop you if
you want to dig your own grave. But can you at least think about me? I don''t want to be a
widow at such a young age."
"Don''t worry, I won''t let you be a widow." He rubbed his chin gently against her forehead as if
he wasforting a small pet. "Don''t move, let me hug you."
Silvia couldn''t resist his gentleness. Whenever he was showing affection for her, her heart would
just melt into a puddle.
"Jayden..." She whispered his name.
"Shh..." He heard her, but signaled her not to make a sound.
Even if he was sick, he was still hugging her tightly. Silvia enjoyed being in his embrace. Since he
wanted to hold her, she would let him.
From time to time, Jayden would suffer from fever. Therefore, Silvia had gained some medical
knowledge. Under normal circumstances, drinking warm water could help to cool down a mild fever
of 38 degrees.
However, Jayden''s condition was different. Thus, Silvia couldn''t afford to let her guard down and
risked getting him unconscious again due to his high fever.
"Jayden... Can you please let me go for awhile so that I can change my position?" Her position now
made her feel ufortable.
However, Jayden did not respond. Silvia moved a little and lifted her head to look at him. Seeing his
eyes closed, Silvia panicked. "Jayden..."
Jayden tightened his arms around her waist and said softly, "Honey, I''m a little tired. Let me sleep
for a while."
"Go to sleep, I''ll stay here with you." Silvia patted his chest and sagged with relief. She almost had a
heart attack, thinking that he had gone unconscious again.
"Good girl," he said.

Silvia didn''t move again. Shey quietly in his arms until he had fallen asleep. Only then did she
slowly raise her head from his arms.
Looking at his pale face, Silvia''s heart ached.
