The Remorseful Brothers

Chapter 88

Not far away, Madeline suddenly turned around and shouted, “Caleb, deal with it as you see fit, but just avoid any extreme measures.

Hazel brought a small blanket for Madeline and gently covered her legs. “Doctor, could you please check Ms. Larson’s body temperature? Her forehead feels extremely hot.”

While speaking, Hazel sighed softly. She had already changed the blanket in Madeline’s room to a thicker one, but the weather in Acocester was so unpredictable.

He then prescribed medication for treating the cold and fever. Take this medicine three times a day. Make sure to stay warm, and drink plenty of hot fluids.”

Hazel collected the prescribed medicine and Ped to fetch hot water from the kitchen.

Caleb had been observing from a distance and approached only after the others had departed

Gazing at the ailing Madeline, his heart aching, Caleb didn’t say anything for a moment. Then, he softly inquired, “Do you want to take a day off on Monday?”

It’s only Saturday, so who knows, I might recover by tomorrow, Madeline replied softly. She pressed her hand against her forehead, leaned
