When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Flossie had been stricken with a stubborn high fever that refused to relent since coming to Colin’s house.

Despite administering medication and employing various methods to cool her down, the fever kept returning, leaving Colin fraught with worry.

Colin, feeling helpless as he watched her struggle, finally decided to call in a private doctor.

The doctor arrived promptly, administered intravenous fluids to stabilize Flossie, and monitored her until her fever almost subsided.

Colin remained by Flossie’s side throughout, his worry deepening with each hour that passed.

Watching her face, flushed from the fever, he felt a mix of helplessness and deep concern for her well-being.

Suddenly, a knock on the door echoed through the room.

Colin swiftly rose and opened the door to find the housekeeper waiting with a message that instantly piqued his interest.

“Mr.
