Chapter 72

Catherine’s How

Al Blake’s insistence, we went to the best hospital in Sayreville, though it was relatively far from the lakeside villa,

After the doctor examined Hedwig, we gave her something to reduce her lever. Soon, Hedwig, started to swear, and she was no longer burning

The doctor said that Hedwig’s fever was because of her inflamed throat,

The doctor prescribed some medicine and told us to go back to see how things went. If Hedwig didn’t get better, we had to come back tomorrow for further treatment,

On the way back, I was a little tired. Hedwig was in Blake’s arms, and I leaned against the back seat with my eyes closed.

Maybe I was too sleepy. I just wanted to take a nap, yet I fell asleep.

I slept soundly and did not realize that I was leaning against Blake’s shoulder.

The car drove back to the villa.

It was already past four in the morning.

I woke up and suddenly found my head resting on something warm. I froze.

Then I looked up and saw Blake’s tired eyes.

I quickly sat up straight from his embrace, my face burning.

“Go back and get some sleep.” He sounded fatigued, which was rare.

I followed Blake silently and went to my room. As Hedwig’s fever subsided, she slept restfully.

Blake looked at her sleeping face. Then he turned and saw how sleepy I was. He said, “Take a day off tomorrow and go to work the day after tomorrow. Hedwig should stay at home tomorrow too.”

OK.” I nodded. I couldn’t work with Hedwig sick anyway.
