Chapter: 1261

To be exact, she actually did know why, but she just didn't want to admit it to herself.

“By the way, when I was upstairs, I went to see Mr. Sullivan as you said. He was still unconscious, but it seems that he couldn't sleep well. His brows were furrowed as if he was having a bad dream. Also, he's still feverish despite taking the antipyretic earlier."

The antipyretic Victor took was just mild, and its effect was naturally weaker than other brands. Although his high fever had gone down a little, he still felt uncomfortable.

Rachel pressed her lips as she thought for a while. Then, she said,

“Lila, you have also been busy all day. How about you stay for the night as well?"

"Okay, Miss Bennet. Thank you." Lila also considered that there was a patient upstairs who needed to be taken care of. She was afraid that if something happened in the middle of the night and she wasn't there, Rachel might have a hard time handling it alone. So, she quickly agreed.

After staying in the living room for a while, Rachel tried calling

Carson again.

“Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off."

Hearing that Carson's phone was still turned off, Rachel deemed not to try again. She realized that Carson had made up his mind not to take Victor back. After hanging up the phone, Rachel yawned and went upstairs. She just had to deal with it since she had no other choice.

There was only one room between Rachel's room and the one where

Victor was. Therefore, when she went back to her room, she passed by

Victor's room.

Rachel wanted to go straight to her room to get some rest, but then

Lila's words suddenly echoed in her mind. This made her stop right outside of Victor's room.

When she came to her senses, she had already twisted the doorknob with her hand. Now that she had done it, she gently pushed the door open and peeked inside.

With his eyes closed, Victor lay in the bed under a quilt. Only his head was exposed, so that he could stay warm.

Just like what Lila said, Rachel saw the uncomfortable expression on

Victor's face, looking pale and feverish. When she approached him, she found beads of sweat on his forehead.

Rachel walked to the bedside and caught a glimpse of the boxes of antipyretics, which made her remember when she was feeding the medicine to Victor. She couldn't help but swallow hard, and her heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly, Victor turned sideways, making the quilt that was covering him slide to the edge of the bed. Then, as he moved again, the quilt finally dropped to the floor.

Seeing this, Rachel panicked and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

However, since she knew that Victor still had a light fever, there was a voice in her head that kept on saying that she couldn't just leave him like that.

This made her frown in irritation. After struggling with her own heart, she turned around and walked to the bed. She then grabbed the quilt from the floor and spread it out to cover Victor's body again.

Of course, she just didn't want to let Victor die under the roof of the Bennet family.
