Gabriel did not stop as he continued walking while buttoning up his coat.

When Gabriel returned to South Bay, the family doctor had just arrived. The two of them drove into the villa one after the other.

Mrs. Winstead heard the sound of cars arriving and came down the stairs. When she saw Gabriel return, she was so shocked that her mouth was half open. “Young…Young Master!”

“How’s she doing now?” Gabriel rushed upstairs.

“Her fever is getting worse.” Mrs. Winstead and the family doctor quickly followed.

Gabriel pushed the bedroom door open and walked closer to take a look. The woman on the bed had an unusually red face and her sickly appearance made her look like a fragile doll.

The family doctor entered the room and began a series of examinations.

Serenity felt as if she was floating on a vast ocean, holding onto the only duckweed in her hand. A man and an unfamiliar voice entered her ears.

She wanted to open her eyes, but there seemed to be a layer of black fog surrounding her, swallowing her bit by bit. She was trapped inside and could not break out no matter what.

It didn’t take long for the surroundings to quieten down. It was as if someone had sat down beside her. A dry and warm hand touched her forehead. The moment he pulled back, she grabbed his hand with her remaining consciousness.

Gabriel paused, looking at the hand that she was holding onto him. Her fingers were slender and fair while her nails were beautifully trimmed. There were pink crescent moons on them but because she had a high fever, she felt very hot.

His gaze moved up a little, staring at her flushed cheeks from the fever. Her clear, watery eyes were tightly shut, and her long, dark eyelashes covered them like the wings of a butterfly, bringing with them a desolate beauty.

Although her facial features were not as bright and beautiful as before, they were very elegant. Her lips were so white and chapped and there were faint traces of blood seeping out.

He pried her fingers away and she turned around uneasily. He took the glass of water from the bedside table and sat down on the other side. He dipped a cotton swab in water to moisten her lips.

After wetting his lips, he put down the glass of water and went into the bathroom. He took a towel and soaked it in hot water. He returned to the room and covered her forehead with it. He turned on the heater, took off her clothes, and wiped her body with alcohol.

Because she was pregnant, many medicines could not be used, but her fever was too high. The doctor suggested using this most primitive method.

Although she wasn’t wearing anything, he didn’t have any thoughts that he shouldn’t have. His actions were especially serious and careful.

After a few minutes, Gabriel removed the towel from her forehead and went into the bathroom to soak it in cool water. He then placed it on her forehead again and repeated this many times.

It was evening when Serenity woke up. The first thing she saw was a man on the sofa holding a computer and handling some work. The sun was shining outside the window and night was about to fall.

She moved her lips and her throat was so dry that she couldn’t make a sound. She had been sleeping in the same position for too long, so she turned over.

Upon hearing the commotion, Gabriel looked up at her. Seeing that she had woken up, he put down his laptop and walked closer to her. He reached out and touched her forehead before turning around and leaving the room.

She licked her dry lips and turned to look at the glass of water on the bedside table. She reached out to touch the glass of water. The water was cold, but her throat was so dry that it felt like it was about to smoke. How could she care so much?

She took the glass of water and brought it to her mouth when the bedroom door was pushed open. Gabriel walked in with a glass of water. When he saw the cold water in her hand, his gaze turned cold. He quickly went forward and snatched the water from her.. “Do you know that you’re still having a fever?”
