The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

Chapter 199

The weather in Hallon City turned cold quickly. Though it was only early autumn, the chill in the air was already palpable.

Hailey had been back in Hallon City for a month, and now she had come down with a fever,

Owen had spent the morning at the office, handling some urgent files, and returned home around noon.

Hailey was lying under the covers, looking pale and lethargic.

Owen made some oatmeal for her, brought it upstairs, and fed it to her.

Oatmeal alone wasn’t nutritious enough, so he also cooked a fried egz

Just as he was about to hand her the egg, Hailey frowned, pulled the covers off, and ran to the bathroom. Moments later, she vomited up the oatmeal she had just swallowed.

Owen followed her to the bathroom, gently patting her back as he said, “I’m taking you to the hospital”

Hailey, pale, shook her head weakly. “It’s nothing. The weather’s gotten colder, and I haven’t been keeping warm properly.”

“You look terrible. We should really get you checked,” Owen insisted.

After she rinsed her mouth, Owen picked her up and carried her back to the bed. She was particularly sensitive to the cold due to the fever.

He went to her closet, grabbed a hoodie for her to wear, and then found a thick coat.

Hailey was feeling sluggish and reluctant to move. “I’ll be fine if I just rest here. You still need to go to the office. Don’t worry about me.”

Owen’s face grew serious. “The office is not as important as you.”

Hailey smiled faintly, “Really, I’ll be fine. Just come home for dinner later. I’ve got fever medicine at home, I’ll take it, then sleep it off.”

Seeing how stubborn she was, Owen didn’t argue further. He brought her a glass of warm water and left instructions with the maid to keep an eye on her before heading to the office.

Hailey took the medicine, then fell into a deep sleep.

She didn’t wake up until 5 p.m.

Having slept for so long, she felt a little weak when she got up, but her fever was gone, and she felt much better.

Owen was nearly home, so Hailey went downstairs to check on the dinner preparations.
