Deep Love of The Perfect Bride novel Chapter 8

Face Is Your Asset

Ayla's high fever never dropped for once, which made Maria worried. Although Mr. Clark didn't give her any order, she had no choice but to call the doctor.

"She needs to have an injection to bring down her fever. Otherwise, she might catch pneumonia," the doctor said while preparing the injection.

"Is Mrs. Clark's fever too bad?" Maria was anxious because she knew Mr. Clark was short-tempered. If anything happened to his newly wedded wife, he might get furious.

"Well, it's somewhat serious. She is too weak right now. She needs to have a good rest." The doctor gave Ayl a the injection then wrote the prescription.

Although, her temperature dropped after taking the injection, she was still unconscious.

When Brian came back, it was almost dawn. As he entered the hall, he found no one there. "Maria!" he called out.

"Sir, you are back," Maria answered from his room.

Brian grumbled and went upstairs just to find out Ayl a was still unconscious. He quickly ordered, "Send her downstairs! And clean up my room!" He hated when others touched his belongings.

Maria and Ruben took Ayla to the first floor in her room. Next day when finally she got her senses back, it was almost noon. She eyed the familiar room and slowly recalled what happened last night. But how did she return to her room? She clutched her aching head. She felt extremely weak.

Maria pushed open the door and came in. "Oh! Mrs. Clark, you're awake. I'll get you some porridge then." A while later, she brought a bowl of porridge.

"Thank you, Maria. Thank you for taking care of me last night." Ayla was more concerned about her school than her health. If she didn't regain her strength, she couldn't go to school.

"Never mind. But be careful in the future. How can you take a cold shower so carelessly?" Maria was so scared when she was suffering from the high fever.

Ayla smiled helplessly. "Okay, I'll remember that in future."

Ayla somehow managed to go to school even with the weakness. Lyle dropped her there.

She always preferred to sit in the front row, but today, she chose the back row. She was afraid that if she kept coughing, it would affect other students.

However, the whispers of her classmates' gossip didn't escape her ears.

"I saw Ayla came here in a luxury car this morning. I heard that she got herself a rich old man," one of her classmates said.

"Really? How can she be so shameless as to sleep with an old rich man? She is so beautiful. But it turns out, she's a gold digger too," another one said.
