Chapter 121

Aiden knew Sophia had a fever the minute he touched her forehead because she was burning hot. He carried her to the bedroom and applied a cold compress to her head while he called the doctor. 

The doctor and Aiden figured that she probably overworked herself, that's why she got the fever and fainted. Her skin looks dehydrated, so the doctor suggested they apply a drip on her on top of the medicine he already prescribed. Aiden had to give her medicine and feed her every four hours to make sure her fever breaks, and there would be no further implications.

After the doctor left, Aiden sat at the end of her bed, staring at her. She slept peacefully but looked gaunt and tired. The circles under her eyes told him she had not been getting enough sleep. It pained him to see her in such a state, he wished he could do something to make her feel better, but they just had to wait until she did.
