Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 1854

"Once you're up, you can head home. Doc says as long as the fever's down, you're good to go."

Carol's tone was nonchalant as she asked, "Can you walk on your own?"

He nodded, slowly peeling back the covers and standing up.

After days without proper food, even with IV nutrients, he felt weak.

He wanted to ask Carol for support, but considering she hadn't kicked him to the curb yet, he counted his blessings and shuffled towards the door on his own.

Carol grabbed her bag from the side and followed him.

He was moving slowly, and once inside the elevator, he caught a glimpse of his pale, almost ghostly reflection in the mirror. His lips, chapped from the fever, prompted him to unconsciously brush his hair forward, trying to hide his pallor.

In the car, Manny was driving, hesitating as if wanting to say something but ultimately staying silent.

Felix, after settling in the backseat, rummaged around and found a pair of sunglasses which he promptly put on.

Carol closed the car door and signaled for Manny to drive.

Midway through the ride, she couldn't hold back anymore.

"Are you out of your mind, wearing sunglasses in the dead of night?"

Felix just pursed his lips, silent.

Carol began to wonder if the fever had cooked his brains.

The car eventually stopped outside the Miller family mansion. Carol got out first, quickly entering the house to swap her shoes in the foyer, yawning from exhaustion.

Felix, still weak, took his time with his shoes but kept the sunglasses on.

As Carol flopped onto her bed, she heard Felix's footsteps heading towards the closet – probably to get his pajamas for a wash.

"It's three in the morning, quit fussing and wash it after you wake up."
