Chapter 258 Brought Her to the Hospital

19 min left

A cold, clammy sweat clung to Emily’s skin, every inch of her burning to the touch.

As Emily swallowed hard, her throat felt as if it were being twisted by a blade–raw, stabbing pain with every breath.

Her body went limp, limbs heavy as lead, while her eyes throbbed with a dull, aching soreness.

Emily knew instantly—she’d caught the flu, a high fever coursing through her veins.

Desperate to find fever medicine, she tried to climb out of bed, but her strength failed her, leaving her collapsed against the sheets.

The small effort drained what little energy Emily had; she sank back down, gasping for air, her body breaking out in an even heavier sweat.

Emily was dazed and listless, consciousness slipping away from her in slow, fuzzy waves.

She drifted off into a fitful sleep, not knowing how much time had passed, until a faint noise by the window pulled her back to the edge of wakefulness.

Prying her eyes open, Emily made out a blurry figure approaching through the dim light.

As it stepped closer, the shadows lifted, and she saw it was Alexander–unreal, like a vision in a fever dream.

She couldn’t tell if she was asleep or awake, the world spinning around her in a hazy fog.

Alexander climbed through the window, his steps quick and urgent as he crossed the room to her bed.

As he saw her lying there, face flushed crimson and clothes soaked through, panic flashed across his face.

He sat down beside her, his hand flying to her forehead without hesitation–her skin burned so hot it seared his palm.

Shocked by the intensity of her fever, Alexander called out to her, his voice tight with fear, “Emily, look at me–do you recognize me?”

He patted her cheek gently, his touch light as a feather, afraid to hurt her.

Her gaze remained unfocused, eyes clouded with delirium.

Fearing she might have a seizure from the high fever, Alexander didn’t hesitate—he lifted her into his arms, holding her carefully against his chest.

Resting in his embrace, Emily felt weightless, as if floating among the clouds, her body too weak to resist.

Alexander carried her toward the door; no time to think about anything but getting her to a doctor.

Just as he stepped out of the bedroom, he collided with Ryan, who’d just returned home.

As he saw Alexander holding Emily in his arms, Ryan’s eyes widened with confusion.

“Alexander?” He paused, his tone sharp with doubt. “How did you get in here?”

Alexander froze for a split second at the sight of Ryan, but there was no time to explain. He just said, “I’ll tell you later–Emily. has a high fever. I’m taking her to the hospital now.”

Ryan stood at the top of the stairs, laptop bag in hand, watching as Alexander carried Emily away.

Words of accusation hovered on his tongue, but seeing Emily’s flushed, delirious face, he swallowed them back, his priority shifting to her safety.

As Alexander descended the stairs, he ran into Chloe, who’d also just come home.

Even with Emily in his arms, he managed a quick greeting.

Chloe stopped short, composing herself a moment later when she noticed Emily’s pale, limp form. “What’s wrong with Emily?” she asked, hurrying to keep up with his strides.

“She’s running a fever. I’m taking her to the hospital,” Alexander replied, walking quickly toward the front door.

Before Chloe could react, he was gone, Emily in his arms.

Ryan came down the stairs just then, spotting Chloe. “Come on -let’s follow them. Make sure she’s okay.”

Emily’s health was the only thing that mattered right now; Alexander’s unexpected presence at Carter Manor could wait.

In the middle of the night, Emily’s eyes fluttered open, hazy and slow.

Above her was the stark white ceiling of a hospital room, the air thick with the sharp, familiar smell of disinfectant.

A dull sting in her wrist caught her attention–glancing down, she saw an IV tube taped to her hand, fluid dripping slowly into her vein.

A soft, gentle voice pulled her focus. “Emily, you’re awake?”

It was Chloc.

Turning her head, Emily saw Chloe sitting beside her, beside the hand with the IV.

She parted her lips, managing a hoarse, weak whisper. “Chloe.”

Her voice came out cracked, her eyes red–rimmed with exhaustion.

Chloe reached out, brushing a strand of sweat–soaked hair from Emily’s forehead, her voice warm and reassuring. “Your fever broke. Do you feel a little better?”

Emily forced a faint smile, nodding slightly. “Yeah… better.”

As her mind cleared, Alexander’s voice echoed in her head.

She’d seen him in her room, hadn’t she?

Anxious, Emily asked, “Chloe, where’s Alexander?”

Chloe looked surprised for a moment, then answered honestly, “He brought you here. But after you got checked in and the IV was set up, your brother called him aside. They left together.”

Panic flared in Emily’s chest. “Chloe, I need to see him.”

Alexander had brought her to the hospital, which meant Ryan

definitely knew he’d been at Carter Manor.

And with Ryan’s temper, he’d surely say something harsh, maybe even lash out physically.

Worry for Alexander gnawed at her, making her eager to find him.

Chloe wiped the sweat from Emily’s cheek with a cool cloth, her voice calm and soothing. “You’re still weak–don’t rush. Your brother won’t hurt Alexander, I promise.”
