Steve put his hand on Thirza's forehead. Her forehead was burning hot. D*mn it, Thirza had a fever.
"Thirza, Thirza." He called Thirza's name, and Thirza struggled to open her eyes and look at him.
"Steve."
"How come you got a fever? Everything was fine yesterday. I'll take you to the hospital right away." Steve quickly grabbed a piece of clothes and put it on Thirza. He then carried her downstairs.
Evalyn was already waiting downstairs. "Steve, let's go."
It was not until she saw Steve holding her in his arms that she felt that something was wrong. Thirza was still wearing her nightdress and a coat over it, even still barefooted.
"What's wrong with Thirza?"
"She has a fever."
"I'll have the assistant send her to the hospital. I've already booked the place at the hot spring."
Hearing what she said, Steve's eyes became cold. "Say it again!"
Evalyn had never seen Steve's cold gaze. She felt that if she said another word, Steve would eat her whole.
"I..."
"Piss off. You're in my way." Steve didn't want to talk anymore with her. How could she have said those words, letting the assistant take Thirza to the hospital?
Evalyn looked at Steve's back as he left hurriedly. She couldn't tolerate being treated like this. She was also a CEO of a business empire!
Thirza. Thirza again. She wasn't even his daughter, why did he have to do all this?
How could she know what Thirza meant to Steve?
"Steve, I'm fine. You can go to the hot spring with Evalyn," Thirza said weakly in Steve's arms.
"Idiot, how could I leave you alone? Don't say a word, I'll take you to the hospital right away. Thirza, you'll be fine soon."
In the past, Thirza had been ill, but that was just a small cold. She had never had to go through something this serious, her body burning like a furnace.
Steve was extremely scared. He clearly knew that Thirza was just having a cold, but for him, it was as if the world was collapsing around him.
She was sent to the emergency room. The doctor thought it was a serious heart attack, but it turned out to be a cold.
Seeing Thirza's weak and pale face as she was being treated, Steve's heart was filled with guilt.
"It must be the ice cream yesterday, or did Thirza catch a cold during the night?"
However, it had been quite hot recently, how could she have caught a cold overnight?
Steve didn't know how Thirza got ill. He blamed everything on himself for not taking care of her.
"Steve, I'm fine. I'm really fine."
Thirza only intended to fall ill to keep Steve from going with Evalyn but she didn't expect Steve would be so devastated.
If she had known, she wouldn't have gone this far and Steve wouldn't be so afraid and worried.
"How can you be fine? You are burning like a fireball! How did this happen?"
Thirza did not dare to look him in the eye. How could she dare to say that she was ill because she took a cold bath all night on purpose?
"I don't know, I really don't."
"It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of you."
"It's not like that. It's no one's fault. And besides, it's just a minor cold. I'll be okay in no time." Thirza tried to comfort Steve.
