Chapter 219

My father was out of town for work, so I first called Stella.

“Stella, where are you?” I asked groggily from my bed.

I’m at the hospital Quincy started throwing up and having diarrhea out of nowhere, which scared the crap out of me!” Stella responded.

“What the hell? You better get him checked out properly I advised her worriedly, then hung up.

Next, I dialed Alicia Rider, who was on her way to a business trip.

When I called Barbara, she was having dinner with her parents and Silas.

Since everyone seemed busy, I finally got through to Russel.

The phone rang for a while before someone picked it up. I quickly asked, “Russel, are you free?”

“Sorry, he’s in the shower.” A young female voice replied.

I was taken aback and quickly checked the name on my phone. It was indeed Russel. But why would a young woman answer his phone?

Before I could ask, she hung up. I was already feeling sick, and this just made my mood plummet.

I didn’t want to doubt Russel’s loyalty, but his family was against us being together, so I couldn’t help but overthink.

When I tried to call him again, his phone was off.

Just as I was about to go downstairs to find some fever medicine. Neil called.

I hung up immediately I leaned on the wall and the stair railings as I made my way downstairs, then began searching for medicine in the living room. Suddenly, there was a strong knock on the door. I glanced at the front door of the living room and heard Neil yelling outside, “Irene, open up!”
