Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 695

At that moment, Alex nudged the door open and stepped inside. Seeing Selena awake at last, Alex felt a wave of relief wash over her. She carried a bowl of oatmeal, carefully approached, and asked with genuine concern, "Hey, how are you feeling?"

Selena blinked at her for a moment, trying to figure out what had happened. Her throat felt raw, like she'd swallowed a bucket of sand. "You had a pretty nasty fever," Alex explained.
