Exhausted from the exchange, Bella Scott no longer had the energy to argue with Edward Anderson when they returned to the presidential suite.
"Pathetic!" Edward sneered as he saw her weak appearance.
"Could it be a cold?" Linda Stuart placed a hand on Bella's forehead.
Bella grabbed her warm hand and said, "I'm fine. I just need a good night's sleep to recover."
Linda's gaze softened as she recalled how Bella would comfort Mila Gray when she was sick. Bella once suffered from a severe illness as a child, which nearly took her life.
Bella had indeed caught a cold, and she was surprised that her body was so vulnerable. No wonder she felt sore all over.
Half-awake, Bella heard Linda suggesting a hospital visit. She disliked the smell of hospitals and quickly shook her head, "I'll take some medicine and sleep it off."
"Let her rest," Edward said as he stood up to leave, "I'll buy some medicine and be right back."
