The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1164
Liam’s body suddenly collapsed onto Blake. She was forced to lean backward and hugged him. Sensing his abnormal body temperature, she hurriedly called his name, “Liam?”
Liam did not respond. She had no choice but to temporarily help him onto the couch and have him lie down.
“Why’s his fever so high?” Blake held her phone, intending to call for an ambulance. But suddenly, her wrist was grabbed by Liam’s scorching hand, as if he was seeking some comfort. He held her tightly.
After Blake finished calling, she reached out to feel Liam’s forehead. ”
The ambulance will be here soon, just bear with it a little longer.”
After that, Blake looked at him intensely. She had heard everything he said when she came in just now, including him asking her to like him.
Blake had never imagined that Liam would fall for someone like her. She found Liam extremely kind, so she thought he would like someone gentle and elegant, like an official’s daughter, just like Audrey. Blake heard from Kevin that Liam’s family background was complicated, and his family had been waiting for him to return.
Blake pondered, ‘The past is the past. If one could choose, who’d want to be alone away from their family?’
She followed the ambulance and went to the hospital.
Liam’s fever almost reached 104 Fahrenheit. If he had been sent to the hospital a little later, the consequences would have been serious.
After being administered a fever- reducing injection by the doctor, Liam lay on the hospital bed, attached to an IV drip, sleeping soundly. Blake had brought her laptop with her as she still had some things to do.
Blake spent the whole day taking care of Liam in the hospital. At six in the evening, she felt hungry, so she decided to go downstairs to buy something to eat. That was when she saw a man who looked more feminine than a woman, wearing a white coat and putting on a mask as he walked past her.
Blake stopped with a puzzled expression, turned her head, and looked at his face. ‘He seems so familiar; I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before.’
However, Blake could not recall where she had seen him.
She then made a quick trip back to the company to take some documents. With Liam being sick, there were tasks that only she could take care of. There were not many editors at StartReading Literary, and all of them had their own responsibilities. Sometimes, when they were too busy, they would even forget to eat.
After grabbing the documents, Blake bought a sandwich from a vending machine and took a bite at it. She then went downstairs to leave by car.
She wondered when Liam would wake up as there was still a lot of work waiting for him.
Blake checked her phone again. From morning until now, she had sent over a dozen messages to Kevin, but he had not replied to any of them yet.
Kevin was not working in the company anymore, so Blake wondered what he was so busy with.
On her way back to the hospital, it started raining heavily.
The already chilly weather became even colder.
Blake covered half of her face with her scarf and ran into the hospital with a briefcase. The hospital was heated, so it was not too cold. She ate the sandwich in her hand as she walked. As she was about to enter the elevator, she was frightened by the people inside- several men with menacing looks. They all had tattoos and one of them was even shirtless. The stench of alcohol surrounded them, and they gave off an aura reminiscent of criminal gangs from old movies.
“Miss, are you coming in or not? Come on, don’t waste our time!”
Blake chuckled nervously. She took a few steps back and said, “It’s fine. Please go ahead.”
She then took the other elevator and went to the ward. As she entered, a nurse was coming out. Blake asked, Hi, how is his condition? Has he gotten any better?”
