Chapter 285

Yuliana seemed as if she was stuck in a nightmare, unable to wake up.

Not long after she settled down, she mumbled and wept. Yuliana would cry loudly, sometimes quietly. In the middle of the night, she began to have a fever.

Christopher took a thermometer to take Yuliana’s temperature. Since the fever was not severe, and it was the middle of the night, he did not summon Isaac over. He only got some cooling patches for Yuliana and wiped her body with a wet towel.

When it was almost dawn, Yuliana’s body temperature returned to normal, and she finally slept soundly.

Christopher had stayed by the bed all night. Only after Yuliana settled down did he lie sideways beside her, wrap his arms around her, and close his eyes to sleep.

At dawn, Yuliana opened her eyes.

She did not move or speak but looked out the window until the sun shone brightly.

Christopher woke up after he had only slept for two hours.

Since Yuliana had her back against him, he did not notice that she was awake.

He picked up his phone and checked the time. It was already past seven o’clock. Then, he reached out and touched Yuliana’s forehead to see if she still had a fever. When the edge of his palm touched her eyes and his palm gently brushed across her eyelashes, he stopped his hand.

Shortly, he touched Yuliana’s forehead again and whispered inwardly, “It’s colder than my palm. The fever should have subsided.”

He withdrew his hand before he asked gently, “When did you wake up?”

“It has been a while,” Yuliana replied indifferently. After a while, she asked, “Have you found Roe?”

Christopher turned silent for a moment. “Not yet. But don’t worry. I can assure

that Roe will come back soon, Ana.”
