Chapter 404

Odell looked at her face which was glowing beet red. After a brief silence, he stroked her forehead again. It was burning. Odell immediately reached for his phone and made a call. “Tell Mr. Forger to come here immediately.” Shortly after, the family doctor arrived with a medicine box in tow. Odell stood beside the bed and looked at Sylvia who was still passed out from sleep on the bed. He enquired with a stern frown, "What's wrong with her?" “Master Carter, the madam has a fever and is very weak at the moment. She needs a good rest more than anything else.” After a brief hesitation, he added in a low voice, “I think you two should abstain from making love for the next few days.” Odell answered with a queer look, "Got it." The doctor turned around and left. Sylvia was still curled up like a ball and in a deep sleep. Odell stared at her silently. After a long time, he walked out with a sullen expression. .... It was almost 9 p.m. when Sylvia woke up.
