Robin finally regained his composure and exclaimed to himself.

“Haha! You are old, Robin,” William teased with a smile before a bout of coughing overtook him.

“It's been a week, and this has been going on since the third day after coming back. My body temperature keeps fluctuating but never seems to drop back down.”

“It all depends on you now, Ms. Felch,” Robin said anxiously.
