Freya’s face reddened, and she quickly let go of Ryan’s hand. Then, she secretly took a glimpse of
him.
As if he did not realize her gaze, he held her hand and headed to the elevator.
The spontaneous intimacy made her shake her fingers loose from his hand awkwardly.
“What’s wrong?” Ryan turned around and asked while tightening his grip on her hand.
“No. We… ” Freya raised her arm awkwardly in an attempt to remind him.
“Didn’t you say you were dizzy? I’m afraid you’ll fall.” Ryan was frank, and his expression was natural.
That put Freya under the impression that she had over-thought things.
They were only holding hands. Just now, she even slept with her hands around him.
However…
She had never been so intimate with her biological brother, Forrest, either.
Unfortunately, she was groggy. The more she thought about it, the heavier her head felt.
When they arrived on the second floor, Ryan took her to see the doctor without allowing her to think
further.
After taking a look at the medical report, the doctor took her temperature once again. “It’s a low fever.
Do you want to take medicine or receive an IV infusion?”
Ryan asked, “Will she get better with receiving an IV infusion once?”
The doctor shook his head. “She needs to receive it for at least two days.”
“I don’t want an IV infusion. ” Considering Freya was hospitalized not long ago, she did not want to get
an IV infusion anymore. “I’ll take medicine.
Medicine will do.”
“Alright, then. ” The doctor did not force her. “ I’ll prescribe some antipyretic for you, and you must take
it once you collect them. If your fever continues on and off, you’ll need to come to the hospital for an IV
infusion. That will need to be treated seriously.”
Freya nodded obediently. “Doctor, will I infect my child?”
“Of course. You have bad flu, so you shouldn’t interact with your child for the time being, ” the doctor
said as he prescribed the medicine. “The weather is getting colder, and more people are getting the flu.
So far, I’ve treated over ten patients with flu today.”
Upon hearing that, Freya felt extremely despondent.
How did she get the flu? Her body used to be so strong. Perhaps her body had weakened after she
gave birth to Dani.
Once the doctor was done with the prescription, Ryan took Freya to the first floor. He had her seated
before going to collect the medicine.
Five minutes later, he came back, holding a glass of warm water and antipyretic.
Freya took the medicine from his hand weakly and drank the water. After finishing the water, she asked
feebly, “Where did you get the warm water?”
“I asked a nurse.”
At that, she looked up at him strangely. “There are so many patients every day. Why would the nurse
give it to you?”
Ryan’s lips curled into a grin. “I pleaded with the nurse, telling her that my wife was sick and not feeling
very unwell. I’m handsome and a smooth talker. It’s hard for women to turn me down.”
“Who’s your wife?” Freya glared at him, yet her heart skipped a beat when she met his gentle eyes.
A trace of annoyance washed over her, and she stamped on his foot in exasperation. “ It’s all your fault.
If I hadn’t gone to pick you up, I wouldn’t have gotten the flu.”
“Right, right. It’s all my fault.”
Ryan’s foot did not hurt. Her foot was soft, so was the way she spoke. Rather than seeing her as angry,
Ryan saw her as acting like a spoiled child, and her behavior almost made Ryan’s heart melt.
“As the doctor just said, you’d better not interact with Dani for the time being. I have an empty house,
which you can stay in tonight, ” he suggested.
“No. I’ll stay in Brighton Gardens tonight. Why would I want to stay in your house when I have my
own,” Freya said like a spoiled child.
“Yeah, yeah. It’s up to you to stay wherever you want.” Ryan comforted her, “Let me send you there
to express my apologies.”
Freya shot him a look. Seeing that he was trying to please her, she pouted amusingly. “My whole body
is sore.”
“Fine. I’ll carry you.” Ryan promptly squatted in front of her.
Freya had no energy, so she subconsciously hopped onto his back and wrapped her hands around his
neck.
