Chapter 38: He fainted from fever
When Philip returned to the office, he wanted to find Vanessa to ask her what he had learned at the meeting.
Moreover, as Dylan was also with him, Philip wanted to ask Dylan to teach Vanessa about business administration.
-Lately, Vanessa has been learning how to manage the company and is in the office next door. I have the secretary call her and ask her to tell us what she has learned today.
-Great,” Dylan replied with a smile.
Actually, Dylan hadn’t seen his feral kitty for a long time, and he was happy to imagine the frightened look on her face when she suddenly appeared in his office.
Shortly after Philip’s order, his secretary knocked on the door in a hurry and said nervously:
-President Felipe, Miss Vanessa fainted in her office!
-What?
Philip panicked and ran away, but Dylan arrived first at Vanessa’s office, where he saw her at first sight and immediately held her burning body in his arms.
-Vanessa, Vanessa! -Dylan called her name anxiously and frowned when he saw that her face was flushed, and she didn’t answer his calls.
-Dylan, what’s wrong with Vanessa?
-She has a fever and needs to be sent to the hospital immediately,” Dylan said and strided out, hugging Vanessa.
-Quick, call the driver! -Philip ordered his secretary and followed Dylan, worried.
Philip was very worried about Vanessa, his heart ached to see her lips chapped with fever, and he prayed that nothing would happen to his good girl.
Dylan, on the other hand, was inexplicably anxious as he hugged Vanessa, who burned as hot as an oven, and wanted to kiss those chapped lips to wet them, which used to be sweet and soft.
But at that moment, anxiety overcame anguish and Dylan got into the car with Vanessa.
Philip wanted to join them, but Dylan calmly stopped him and said:
-Felipe, didn’t you say I had to attend an afternoon discussion of an important project plan? I’ll take Vanessa to the hospital and look after her, don’t worry.
-It would be too much trouble.
-You’re welcome, I’m Vanessa’s uncle anyway and it’s my duty to look after her.
-Well, thank you very much.
Felipe was worried about Vanessa, but Dylan was right. He had an important project plan in the company and he had to be very cautious about the current situation of the Cazalla Group or else….
-Then help me take good care of Vanessa, please.
-Don’t worry,” Dylan promised.
The driver started the car and they sped to the hospital.
With the driver present, Dylan could do nothing more than hug Vanessa quietly and then rush her to the hospital’s emergency department while the driver made arrangements to be hospitalised.
After a medical examination, it was determined that Vanessa had a fever caused by cold and fatigue, but it was no longer serious after medical assistance.
Finally, Dylan breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, Dylan told the driver to leave first and that he would be accompanying Vanessa, who was getting an IV.
It was almost dark when Vanessa woke up and she said with an immense thirst:
-Water, give me the water, please.
Dylan poured her a glass of water, and set a straw for her to drink the water while lying on the bed. Vanessa held the straw and drank and felt more comfortable after finishing the whole glass.
-Vanessa smiled at him, wanting to thank him, but she stiffened when she saw Dylan.
-Why did you keep quiet? -Dylan raised his eyebrows and picked up the glass.
His cold, domineering stare left Vanessa on edge like a frightened bunny and she tried to change the subject without meeting his gaze:
-Cof, cof. Why am I hospitalised? And why are you here?
“I have to pretend I don’t know anything about it!”
-How do you plan to thank me for saving your life?
“Save? How exaggerated!”
-Ha, ha, how exaggerated you are! It’s just a cold.
-I didn’t overdo it,” said Dylan, “If I hadn’t got there in time, you’d be feverishly groggy by now.
“You’re a real fool!”
Vanessa cursed him inwardly, but still wore a flattering smile and said:Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
-Really? A fever can’t be so bad, I’ve always been very healthy before.
Suddenly, Dylan approached Vanessa, almost touching her nose, and she had to look away because her face was burning from the sudden intimacy.
-Look at me,” Dylan ordered, and Vanessa nervously clenched her hand under the blanket, not daring to move a bit.
As the two stood motionless, the door to the room suddenly opened.
Vanessa was terrified that anyone seeing them in such close proximity might cause some misunderstanding. So she didn’t dare raise her head.
Dylan, on the other hand, was much calmer than the latter, who touched his forehead with the back of his hand and said quietly:
-Thank goodness your fever is down. Are you feeling better?
Vanessa’s eyes widened but she slowly calmed down as she saw Dylan’s calm gaze.
-I’m better now. Thank you, Dylan,” Vanessa muttered.
Philip had been a little surprised to see both their faces so close together when he opened the door, but he was reassured to see Dylan acting so naturally and said with a smile:
-Why do you come to work when you’re sick? Well, now you’re staying in the hospital! -Felipe complained and approached Vanessa worriedly.
Dylan gave him his seat and Philip thanked him before sitting down.
-Dylan, thank you very much for your help this time.
-Felipe, you’re just in time. I’m going to buy something to eat for Vanessa, who must be very hungry.
