Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 263

Poppy, unaware of his discomfort, opened the food containers one by one. "Soren, you need to eat."

The smell of the food hit him, and a wave of nausea rolled through his stomach. The chefs at the Fawkes Enterprises cafeteria were top-tier, but right now, the aroma made him want to gag. His face paled, and Poppy finally noticed something was wrong.

"Soren, what is it?" she asked, reaching out to touch his forehead. "You're burning up! Are you sick? I'll take you to the hospital."

At the word "sick," Soren froze. He couldn't help but remember that for years, if he so much as coughed, Evangeline would treat it like a national emergency, hovering over him 24/7. She was always so concerned about his health. Even though she was angry with him now, surely if she knew he was sick, she wouldn't ignore him.

He remained still.

"I'll call Liam," Poppy said, pulling out her phone.

"Don't," Soren said, his voice raspy. "I'll have Gregory take me later. You should go home and get some rest."

The dismissal in his tone was unmistakable. Poppy froze. "Soren…"

He waved a hand dismissively. "Taking care of me is my assistant's job, not yours."

The words hung in the air, a clear boundary drawn. Poppy knew his temper; there was no point in arguing.
