C16 A High Fever!

"Doctor Pei."

"Miss Latimer, you're here." Ronin smiled gently and nodded slightly.

Priscilla smiled shyly. "Dr. Pei, if you don't mind, you can just call me Priscilla. It's not very comfortable to call me that."

"I'm not used to calling you Doctor Pei either." Ronin blinked mischievously.

Priscilla burst into laughter. At first, she thought that this gentle-looking doctor with black-rimmed glasses was a conservative man. However, after interacting with him more, she realized that he liked cold humor. He was like a big brother next door, and they were also very familiar with each other.

"I'm sorry, Pei... It's more convenient to call you Doctor Pei. I was in a hurry last time, so I couldn't come over. Sorry for troubling you."

Ronin shrugged and said, "Alright, whatever you want to call me... It's fine. I was on duty that day, so I just took a look."

"Is his condition still stable?"

"For now, he can be relieved of his pain with medicine, but he needs to find an organ as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult to say what will happen next."

Priscilla's face darkened. She had to divorce him as soon as possible if she wanted to find the kidney.

"I know. Thank you, Doctor Pei." Priscilla thanked him sincerely.

"Don't say that. Hey, why is your foot so swollen?" As he spoke, he looked at her face and naturally reached out his hand towards Priscilla's forehead.

Priscilla did not reject him.

"You have a fever!" Ronin said with a serious expression, "It must be caused by your foot. Hurry up and take a look."

Dean Caverly was already urging her to take a day off. She had only taken a day off in the morning, so she did not have much time. Today was the day of the new product test, so she had to be there.

"I will go. Don't worry, I'll be leaving first. I'll contact you again another day."

Just as Ronin was about to say something, Cheval had already walked away with her.

Seeing the stubborn back of Priscilla, he suddenly felt his heart ache. She was the brightest and strongest among all the orphans that he had met in his years of medical practice.

Cheval's truck could fit more than a dozen children. As they listened to their quarrels and laughter, the gloomy mood they had been in for the past few days was swept away.

From afar, Priscilla felt a sense of closeness when she saw the two words "Algea."

"Children, we are here." Dean Caverly shouted in a low voice. The dozen children jumped out of the car like monkeys and chirped happily, as if they were returning to their nest.

"Do you want to go and take a look? You haven't been back for a few months, and the children miss you."

"Priscilla, get off the car. I'll take you to see the model I made. The teacher said that I can become a scientist when I grow up!"

"Priscilla, I, I scored 98 points last time, but two points were deducted from my essay. The topic was about my dear Priscilla. Do you want to take a look?"

"Priscilla, the snotty bug wanted to see Luke today, but she had a cold and couldn't go. I promised to bring you back. Why don't you go? Otherwise, she would say that I'm useless."

...

Every child wanted her to go in and sit.

She also wanted to go back here and stay with the children, but time didn't allow her to do so. She had to rush to the office before four o'clock. It was already three o'clock.

"Director, I can't go today. I'll come back another day. I have an experiment today, so I have to be there."

Dean Caverly nodded. Even though she didn't know the details, she knew that it wasn't that easy to marry into a rich family. Furthermore, Priscilla had taken so much money from the Rowley family to expand Algea and the money for Luke's hospitalization was also taken from the Rowley family. She knew that the money was not for nothing. It was not easy for a girl. Priscilla was a person who knew how to repay kindness. Algea was her greatest benefactor. She would definitely repay it with all her might.

"Then come back another day when you have time. Take care of yourself. I don't think you have any energy today."

Nothing could escape Dean Caverly's eyes, but she just smiled faintly. "I don't have anything to do. Maybe I slept too late last night."

Dean Caverly led the children in. She couldn't hold on any longer and fell straight into Cheval's arms.

In the medical room of the orphanage.

"I don't know why you have such a high fever. Are you a child? Don't you know how to take care of your body? How many days have you been like this? Do you want to burn your brain?"

Doctor Wang from the small clinic next to the orphanage scolded her with concern.

Priscilla and Cheval had been raised by him. Whenever the children in the orphanage had any problems, they would come here to see Doctor Wang. When Luke was sent here, he knew that he was not strong enough and suggested that he be sent to a big hospital as soon as possible. That was why Luke was able to be saved in time. They trusted him.

Doctor Wang had never married and treated them as his children. When he gave Priscilla the medicine, he kept nagging, "Look at you, Nan Nan. What kind of family are you married to? I don't know how much you have lost in the past half a year. Don't you know how to take care of yourself?"

Priscilla, who had just woken up, was in no mood to listen to his nagging. She was focused on the important experiment. When she realized where she was, she looked at the time. It was already half past four. She could not rush it!

"Cheval, hurry up and send me back!" She grabbed Cheval's sleeve. She had to hurry even if she could not make it.

"Why? Are you going back now? Aren't you going to wait for me to finish giving you the medicine?" Doctor Wang looked incredulous.

Cheval had always listened to Priscilla's words. Without saying a word, she helped her out. She did not care about what Doctor Wang was saying behind her.

The car jolted and finally reached the highway. Priscilla began to vomit, and her intestines were broken.

Lachlan had called her over and over again. She didn't even have the energy to answer the phone, so she could only let it ring.

At this time, it was already raining outside.

Cheval was worried and stopped the car. She helped her wipe the dirt off her skirt and carefully held her shoulder. "Sister Priscilla, look at you. You're so sick. Don't go back. Let's talk after you recover, okay?"

She didn't care about the dirt on her body. She took out her phone and called Lachlan.

The other party didn't pick up!

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and it was hitting the window.

She had no choice but to call Foster.

"Priscilla? What is it?" Foster's voice was not filled with blame. He probably didn't know that she wasn't there.

She felt relieved. "Sorry, Dad. I'm a little unwell now. I want to postpone the experiment to tomorrow. Is that okay?"

"Not feeling well? Where do you not feel well? Do you want Lachlan to send you to the hospital? "

"No, no need. I'll go by myself. It's just that the experiment..." She answered carefully.

Foster agreed very straightforwardly, "It's fine. It's mainly your body. It's better if nothing happens to you. I'll give you a week off. You must take good care of yourself and go to work."

"Dad... No, no need."

"Alright, it's settled then. Don't push yourself too hard. The company's new project is completely dependent on you. You can't fall. I'll let Lachlan handle the client side." Foster said without giving him a chance to explain.

She knew that he would never change his mind, so she could only thank him.

After making a phone call, she felt a little more at ease. However, she had just called 15 times, so it was not easy to explain it to him.

However, she decided to be stubborn for once. She had finally gotten a leave of absence, but Foster still allowed her to take a week off. She didn't want to go back and face that devil day and night.

Since she had already disobeyed him, she had no choice but to go back. The result would be the same.

It was nothing more than a perverted punishment, so why not enjoy it now? When his evilness came, she would just have to accept it.
