Chapter 566

Maybe it was all the sickness I went through in my previous life, but now I take every little ache and pain seriously. Even the smallest thing, I have to get it checked out as soon as possible.

I drove around the neighborhood a couple of times before I finally found a clinic. Turns out I was running a fever–102.2°F. No wonder my head felt like it was spinning.

The doctor said I could get an injection to recover faster, or just go home and take some meds.

I chose the meds. I’d always heard shots work fast, but they’re not exactly good for your body.

After picking up the meds, I headed home. While I waited for the water to boil, I grabbed my phone and deleted every single photo Isabelle had sent.

She only sent photos–no voice messages, no texts, not even a word explaining why she sent them.

Looking at it now, it was obvious Isabelle never saw me as a friend. Now that Ryan and Fiona were together, I was just a stranger to her, someone she could hurt without caring at all.

That’s just how people are. If there’s no benefit in it for them, who really cares about you?

The next day, I called in sick and skipped work. To my surprise, Jared rang me up first thing in the morning.

His voice was still mature and magnetic. “Why’d you take the day off? Are you feeling under the weather?”

“How did you know?” I asked, genuinely surprised.

“Ms. Wright from PR gave me a heads up. She said you didn’t look so great yesterday,” Jared said, worry clear in his tone.

“It’s just a cold. Some meds and I’ll be fine,” I replied.
