Chapter 416 Fever Protocol

Chapter 416 Fever Protocol

It wasn’t until she heard the door close upstairs that Tessa finally let out a breath and patted her chest.

Oh my god…

That had scared her half to death.

Living under the same roof as someone like Victor–normal people’s hearts couldn’t handle that kind of stress.

Just as she turned to sneak back upstairs to the room she was staying in, the landline downstairs started ringing.

With no other choice, she went back and picked up the phone.

“Hello?”

“Tessa, it’s Silas.”

For the last time, I’m not his girlfriend.

Did these people have comprehension issues? Which part of her being near Victor made them think they were together?

Why did they all keep calling her ma’am? Seriously!

Silas continued, “Please help take care of my brother tonight. And whatever you do, don’t let him take a shower.”

Tessa blinked. “Uh… he already did.”

“What?!”

Silas shouted so loud it nearly blew out her eardrum.

“Tessa, then you’re really gonna have your hands full tonight. Victor’s definitely going to get a fever.”

Showering with injuries–that’d break down even the healthiest body.

Victor’s obsession with cleanliness was seriously out of control if he couldn’t even hold off for one day.

Tessa tried again: “How about you come over? I’m really not cut out for that kind of care.”

Silas reassured her quickly, “Don’t worry. Once he gets a fever, he becomes very quiet. He won’t give you too much trouble.”

Too much trouble?

“This is beyond trouble,”

“I’ll leave him in your hands, then.”

And before she could get another word in, Silas hung up.

That absolute menace.

Judging by what Silas had said, Victor was going to have a fever tonight.

But there was no way Tessa could take care of him like that. What even was she supposed to do?

She hadn’t even gotten the chance to tell Stella to send someone. She had no choice now but to redial the number from earlier.

Once, twice–no answer.

Tessa grumbled, “What? She’s not picking up now?”

Stella had said she needed Victor’s permission to send someone.

But what about someone from his side? That should be fine, right? Surely he wouldn’t refuse that.

She tried Silas again. Twice more. Still no answer.

What the hell?

He called her and she answered immediately–but when she called him back, he ghosted her?

Unbelievable.

Looks like she was stuck with this tonight, no matter what.

With no other choice, Tessa trudged upstairs again to ask Victor if he’d let Tessa–or someone else from his own people-

come over.

Having learned her lesson, she was extra cautious this time.

She only knocked after hearing a clear reply from inside did she push the door open–and even then, she stayed in the doorway.

“Mr. Victor, Stella offered to send a maid. Would that be alright?”

This man was such a pain. She’d never met anyone this impossible to deal with.

Victor raised a brow. “No.”

Did he have to reject her that flatly?

Then… could someone from your side come instead?”

If not Stella’s people, surely his own would be fine?

But his answer didn’t change.

Still just two very firm words: “No.”

Seriously?

Nothing was okay with this guy! What did he even want?

Was she really supposed to sponge his feverish body down herself?

No way. Absolutely not. She couldn’t do it.

“Then what are you going to do if you get a fever tonight?”
