Tangled Temptations

Chapter 123

Eloise was lying quietly on the snow-white pillow.

Probably because of her illness, her body and voice became noticeably soft. "I don't wanna go to the hospital."

She felt like she'd die of embarrassment if she had to go to the hospital for this.

Harvey gently brushed his hand over her face, then picked up his phone from the bedside table and dialed a number.

"Denise, get me a doctor."

"Sure. We're at room 3601."

"No, it's not me. Eloise is sick."

Denise on the other end of the phone was stunned, not knowing how to react.

Why weren't they at home but at a hotel?

The behavior of Harvey took him by surprise.

Denise, being an old hand in the business, quickly got in touch with a reliable family doctor and personally accompanied him.

When they arrived at the hotel room, Harvey greeted them at the door.

Before the doctor could say anything, Harvey frowned and asked. "Why is it a male doctor?"

Denise was taken aback. Harvey hadn't specified if he wanted a male or female doctor.

Harvey didn't let them in. "Get a female doctor, preferably experienced, and... she should be able to keep a secret."

He knew Eloise was very conscious of her image.

Denise, being sharp, quickly switched to a well-known gynecologist in the city, who was indeed competent. She prescribed some oral medication, sparing Eloise the IV drip.

By noon, Eloise's fever had subsided.

But her energy was greatly drained, and she became very sleepy.

Denise didn't leave. He tidied up the hotel suite, his mind full of confusion as he cleaned.

Harvey stayed in the bedroom.

He sat on the couch, dealt with some work, and then went over to check on Eloise, gently touching her hand.

Her fingers were slender and soft, showing that she seldom did housework. But since she moved into his apartment, he had given the housemaid a break. Therefore, all the household chores were done by Eloise, and she never complained.

Harvey suddenly remembered their early days of living together.
