Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 547 Burning Up

The two men moved toward Anna without a word. Already feeling unwell due to a cold and a fever, Anna was in great discomfort.

Sensing danger, she broke into a run, but in her dazed state, she collided head-on with a boy.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Anna's already flushed face turned pale with fear. "It's... it's you."

Confused and scared, she didn't know what to do. Taylor grabbed her hand, pulling her behind him.

Though he wasn't much older than Anna, he exuded an aura of authority that far surpassed his years. His voice was cold and firm as he said, "Move aside!"

The two men seemed terrified of Taylor and bowed slightly. "Mr. Carlyn, Ms. Carlyn instructed us to ...

"She's still useful. Leave her to me and get out."

"Yes, Mr. Carlyn."

Wisteria, visibly upset, confronted, "Taylor, what are you doing? Why are you protecting this brat? Look, she scratched my face last night. I only planned to cut off her hands and feet. It wouldn't affect anything else."

"That's enough. I said she's still useful. Now, get out!"

Anna eyed Taylor warily. "What are you planning to do to me? Cut off my legs or

Before she could finish her sentence, her body gave out, and she passed out, eyes rolling back.

Taylor reached out to catch her. Nearby, Yael held a baby bottle, looking puzzled as he watched Anna fall unconscious. "She's sleeping," he said simply.

Taylor carried Anna to his bed, laying her down gently. He touched her forehead and frowned. She was burning up.

He walked to another room and came back with fever medicine and cold medication.

Anna was too out of it to take the medicine willingly. "Come on, open up. You'll feel better after taking this."

Anna didn't respond.

Taylor sighed, his eyes falling on Yael's bottle. He grabbed it from the boy. "Let me borrow this."

Yael treasured the bottle, so he immediately toddled after Taylor, protesting, "Taylor, my bottle!"
