Chapter 404

Odell looked at her face which was glowing beet red. After a brief silence, he stroked her forehead again.

It was burning.

Odell immediately reached for his phone and made a call. “Tell Mr. Forger to come here immediately.”

Shortly after, the family doctor arrived with a medicine box in tow.

Odell stood beside the bed and looked at Sylvia who was still passed out from sleep on the bed. He enquired with a stern frown, "What's wrong with her?"

“Master Carter, the madam has a fever and is very weak at the moment. She needs a good rest more than anything else.” After a brief hesitation, he added in a low voice, “I think you two should abstain from making love for the next few days.”

Odell answered with a queer look, "Got it."

The doctor turned around and left.

Sylvia was still curled up like a ball and in a deep sleep.

Odell stared at her silently.

After a long time, he walked out with a sullen expression.
