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.

The shock, the cold sea breeze, and the overwhelming sadness had worn her out. As soon as she got back, she was knocked out by a high fever and had been out cold for nearly two days.

Alex gently propped Selena up, tucking a pillow behind her back, and set up a small table with the oatmeal in front of her. "Try to eat a little something."

But food was the last thing on Selena's mind. She suddenly grasped Alex's hand, her voice urgent, "I've been out for two days. What about Everett? Did they find him?"

The question alone brought tears to Alex's eyes, and one fell onto the table with a soft thud. Selena's hand went slack, and a chill spread through her body, making her shiver uncontrollably.
