Eric and the doctor left one after the other.

Ella was still burning hot, her cheeks flushed. At that moment, she was in no good shape and feverish to the point of talking

What a hassle, he thought. He found Ella quite bothersome, and if it weren’t for Sebastian and Stephanie, he wouldn’t have dealt with her at all.

Stephanie was stunned. “Should I call 911 for you?” she asked, still confused. But then it dawned on her. “Wait, aren’t you with Lorenzo?”

Given the trouble Ella’s family was facing, Stephanie believed that being with Lorenzo was the safest place for her.

“Yeah,” Ella replied..
