When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

I smiled faintly and kept the note.

Feeling a little worried at the sight of Summer’s flushed face, I took out my phone and called Jared.

“Hello, Scarlett,” the man sounded cold and distant.

But I did not mind. I was silent for a second before saying, “Dr. Crest, can you come over to the villa? Summer is having a fever. I don’t want to bring her to the hospital because I’m afraid of cross-infection.”

It was an excuse. But there must be a starting point for everything, otherwise, things wouldn’t be done.

There was a moment of silence from the other end of the phone. Then, he replied, “Alright.”

With that said, he ended the call.

He pursed his lips and ignored my question. He asked, “How’s Summer?”

“She’s still running a high fever.” I stepped out of the way and let him in.
