Chapter 18 Fever in the Rain

Tyrone felt a heavy pressure in his chest, but he didn’t think it was that serious. “I promised to let her work. That’ll make her feel better,” he said.

him a look like he couldn’t believe what he had heard. “So you’re really not going to explain things to Aella? You think just because she’s crazy in love with you, she deserves to carry all this pain?”

Tyrone clinked glasses with him, calm as ever. “It’s not as bad as you put it.”

Right then, Brad’s phone rang.

On the other end, Raine’s voice exploded through the line. “Brad Keller! Is Tyrone with you?”

Brad held the phone away from his ear. “Hey, brat! Watch your mouth. Show me some respect.”

Raine shot back, “I’ll call you whatever I want. Aella’s in trouble-get Tyrone home now!”

It was still pouring when Brad drove Tyrone back.

By the time they arrived, the doctor had just left.

Tyrone rushed to the bedside. His eyes locked on Aella’s face-pale, too pale.

In her sleep, her brow was furrowed, her lashes wet, like she was trapped in a nightmare.

He held her hand. It burned like fire.

When he left earlier, she was fine-angry, yes, but full of fight. How could she suddenly be this sick?

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it.

Aella had always been strong. She could hold a plank for ten minutes without breaking a sweat.

Tyrone turned to his sister. “When did her fever start?”

Raine looked guilty. “I couldn’t reach her by phone. I tried yours too. Mom got worried you two were fighting and sent me over. When I got here, she was lying out in the rain in the garden. I don’t know how long she’d been there.”

Brad nudged Tyrone with his elbow. “Did you argue with her before

you left?”

Tyrone’s face darkened. “You both should go.”

Raine was worried about them. “Tyrone, she’s already had fever medicine. The doctor said you need to help her cool down and check her temperature every hour. If it keeps going up, take her to the hospital.”

Tyrone nodded.

Brad dragged Raine out of the master bedroom. “Come on, let’s battle this out. Tell me, when did I ever do you wrong?”

Raine yanked him by the collar. “Brad, you know where Zera lives. Take me to her!”

Finished

At that, Brad suddenly felt everything he did was worth it. He slipped out of her grip and smoothly bolted downstairs.

In the master bedroom, Tyrone wore a white dress shirt and black slacks, his sleeves rolled up to show the strength in his forearms.

He checked Aella’s temperature on schedule, helped her sip water, wiped her skin, and cooled her down with careful hands.

His calm focus made it look less like he was caring for his wife and more like he was carrying out a job.

“Tyrone.”

Aella’s hands moved weakly in the air.

Tyrone caught them and gently wiped her palms without even realizing how tender his touch was.

She called out his name even in her sleep-how could she ever really leave him?

Tonight, it was his mistake.

She had been too upset. He should have waited until she calmed down before leaving.

Her sickness dragged on for two or three days.

When she finally woke up, her head still felt heavy.

She had planned to meet a senior colleague, someone Samuel had introduced to her. Aella’s illness made her miss the appointment.

She needed to send an apology.

When she left the bedroom, she saw the study door wide open.

Inside, Tyrone was on the phone.

It was past ten on a weekday morning, and surprisingly, he hadn’t gone to work.

As he stepped out, he spotted Aella standing frozen in the hallway.

He walked over and reached out to feel her forehead.

Aella turned her head away.

Tyrone’s face darkened. “Aella, is this how a wife is supposed to treat her husband?”

Aella acted like she hadn’t heard him and walked toward the stairs.
