Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 178: Well then, thank you.

Though Allison said this, her exhaustion was undeniable.

She was too drained to care about Ferdinand or anything else.

Her mind felt sluggish, her thoughts moving like molasses.

She stood up, adding, Mr.

Lloyd, Ill find a room to rest.

But just as the words left her lips, her body swayed slightly.

Kellan noticed immediately, and without thinking, he reached out to steady her.

As his hand touched her skin, he realized how hot she was feverishly hot.

Even Allison could feel it now.

Youve got a fever, Kellan said, guiding her back to sit down.

And its high.

How have you not noticed? Allison smiled weakly.

It happens all the time.

Im used to it… I dont want you to get used to this, Allison, Kellan muttered, his voice tight with frustration.

At the very least, you need to tell someone when somethings wrong.

His frustration bubbled up.

Allison was burning up, yet shed been talking to him so casually, as if it were nothing.

He remembered the last time hed seen her fridge empty, save for instant noodles.

He couldnt help but wonder how she lived like this, so indifferent to her own health and well-being.

Its just a fever, Allison shrugged, seemingly bewildered by his concern.
