When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0689

In the perspective of the two men, what they saw was Miranda leaning against the pillar with her arms wrapped around herself, her cheeks flushed as she trembled uncontrollably.

“Miranda? Miranda! Are you okay?” Paul tried to wake her up, but her eyes remained closed despite her trembling eyelashes/She seemed to be on the edge of going unconscious and looked very unstable.

Paul’s heart sank as he touched her forehead…

“This won’t do! Miranda’s body temperature is getting higher. If this fever continues, something serious could happen before the doors even open,” he said.

Sam couldn’t hold back his irritation. “Do you think I don’t know that? But there’s nothing here. What can we even do?”

They didn’t have fever medicine, no heater, and not even a decent place they could shelter from the wind. Paul glanced at him briefly before he stretched out his hand. He had his palm open at a 90–degree angle to his body.

“What are you doing?”

Paul didn’t rush to answer. After a few seconds, he withdrew his hand and explained, “The wind is blowing from the northwest. It won’t stop the wind completely, but it won’t blow directly on her If we move her behind that pillar.”

“Alright.” Sam immediately got to work.

After that, he turned to Paul instinctively. “What next? I brought a lighter. I might be able to start a fire if I find some dry wood.”

“No, you shouldn’t. There are smoke detectors installed in the north and south directions. If we start a fire and trigger an alarm, the whole area in the park will be flooded with water.

Sam froze at the mention of the alarm.

“Then what do you suggest? What can I do?”

Paul raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Cooper, are you going to follow my instructions?”

Sam sneered, “Just look at the situation we’re in now. Although I don’t like you, I know when to set aside our differences.”

Paul stared at him for two seconds before he continued, “I have some fever medicine in my bag. Find it and mix it with warm water for her to drink.”

Sam exclaimed, “What? You had medicine this whole time? Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“You didn’t ask.”
