Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

"Ms. Evangeline!" "I'm here!"

Evangeline had been stealthily eavesdropping by the door, worried that Celina's reunion with David might stir up too much emotion and lead to trouble. However, she had not expected Celina to be the one to cry out. Without a second thought, Evangeline burst into the room and saw David collapsed on the floor.

"Celina, what happened here?"

Had Celina knocked David out in a sudden outburst? She had not heard any signs of a fight. If she had, she would have been in the room in a heartbeat. "Please, check on David. He just said something and then passed out!"

Celina's concern for David overrode their complicated feelings. She watched him anxiously, unable to move, confined to her bed.

Evangeline snapped to attention.

Maybe David had gotten too cold outside and caught a chill?

She quickly bent down and touched his forehead. The heat that met her hand made her recoil.

"He's burning up!"

"What do we do now?"

Celina was frantic, clueless about how to handle the situation. "Can the doctor who's treating me take care of a cold?"
