Chapter 807

Silas had shown up again.

He was wearing an oversized hospital gown, and the back of his hand still bore the telltale white tape from a recent IV drip.

So, he had come straight from the hospital.

Marguerite wasn't particularly surprised. Deep down, she had a feeling Silas would seek her out, though she hadn't expected it to be so soon.

"I'll get you a glass of water."

Marguerite headed to the kitchen, but then she remembered that Silas's current condition meant he shouldn't have anything cold. She picked up the kettle to make him some tea instead.

As the water poured into the kettle, Silas appeared behind her, gently taking the kettle from her hands and reminding her, "You've got a fever. Go sit down."

Marguerite stood there, unmoving.

But this familiarity unnerved Marguerite.
