Yvonne pretended not to hear the anger in his tone and started pulling the car door open. "Don't worry about what I’m doing here, just get out of the car and follow me upstairs."
Henry did not move as he looked at her quietly with his dark eyes.
Yvonne felt a little scared by the way he was staring at her, but soon she shook her head and kept her emotions in as she shouted at him. "Hurry up, just get out of the car!"
Henry actually listened this time. He opened the car door and got out of the car obediently.
However, because of the fever, he didn't have much strength so as soon as his feet touched the ground, his body fell forward.
When Yvonne saw this, she immediately took a step forward and caught him just in time with her petite body before he fell to the ground.
"Come on, put your arms over my shoulders and I'll help you in," Yvonne put Henry's arm on her shoulders and reminded him.
Henry did it without saying anything.
Yvonne then walked into the apartment one step at a time, with a man much heavier than she was.
"Miss, you're finally back," the building superintendent said when he saw that Yvonne had brought Henry back. He hurriedly stepped forward to help send Henry back to the room.
"Thank you." Yvonne put him down and thanked the building superintendent sincerely.
The man waved his hand. "You’re welcome, and it's m y responsibility anyway. I should go now."
"Wait a minute." Yvonne stopped him.
The building superintendent stopped.
Yvonne asked, "Can you call a doctor for me? There should be a doctor in the community. If I do it myself, i t might take quite some time."
"I see. Sure, I'll do it," the man immediately agreed.
Yvonne thanked him again.
After the man left, she closed the door and returned to her room.
Henry had already passed out from the fever. Yvonne touched his forehead and it was so hot it made her hand tremble.
She didn’t even care that she was still drenched. She immediately went to the bathroom to get a bathrobe that belonged to Elliot for Henry to change into. She then went to the refrigerator to get some ice cubes and wrapped them in a towel to put on Henry’s forehead, hoping it would cool him down.
She breathed a sigh of relief after doing all that. She went to the bathroom and took a quick shower before changing into clean clothes.
At this moment, the doorbell rang again.
Yvonne wiped her hair and opened the door. It was the building superintendent from earlier and a doctor i n a white coat.
Yvonne hurriedly invited the two of them in and took the doctor to the room to see Henry.
After a series of diagnoses, Yvonne watched the doctor give Henry an injection and put up a drip. Her heart clenched and she asked, "How is he?"
"His fever is very serious and his lungs are slightly inflamed. There has also been a severe lack of sleep and extreme mental stress," the doctor threw the syringe and replied.
Yvonne's heart trembled. "Then is he going to be fine?"
"He'll be fine as long as the fever goes away, but he needs to rest for a while and wait until the lung inflammation is gone before he can go back to work. Otherwise, he'll have a fever again," the doctor said.
Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good to hear. Doctor, please prescribe some medicine for him."
The doctor nodded and went to get the medicine kit h e had brought.
It had already been half an hour when she finally got the prescribed medicine and sent the doctor and the building superintendent off.
Yvonne closed the door and returned to her room. She walked gently towards the bed and stopped as she reached out to touch Henry's forehead again.
When she found out that his forehead was not as warm as before and that his face was not as red anyway, her heart finally felt at ease.
"What should I do with you..." Yvonne muttered as she tucked Henry in.
Although she did not know what he came here for, he certainly could not leave anytime soon.
