Chapter 164
Rita immediately scrambled out of bed to call her mom.
Violette, with her hair all over the place, grabbed the first aid kit and rushed into the kids' room.
"Rita, go and sleep with your brother," Violette told her daughter after seeing Makayla's severe fever..
Rita nodded, her eyes concerned, "Mom, did Makayla catch a cold? Should I turn off the air
conditioner?"
"No," Violette replied, "There are plenty of reasons for a fever. It's probably not a cold."
The room was perfectly heated, not freezing enough to catch cold.
After sending Rita to Ian's room, Violette returned to Makayla's side.
She took Makayla's temperature and found that she had a high fever. She needed to reduce the fever
down immediately.
After feeding her ibuprofen, Violette fetched a basin of lukewarm water from the bathroom to cool her
down.
At this time, it was already past three in the morning. Based on her doctor's instinct, Violette was caring
her "rival in love".
Once she finished, she sat down by the bed, feeling more and more uncomfortable.
Why was life screwing her over so severely? How was she going to return Makayla?
If she didn't return her soon, Elijah would probably lose his mind.
She didn't enjoy torturing him. Even thinking about it gave her a headache.
In Ian's room.
After Rita got into bed, Ian woke up.
Once Violette left the room, Ian asked Rita, "What's up?"
"Makayla's running a fever. She kept calling for 'brother.'She must miss you. But you were asleep, so I
didn't wake you," Rita's voice was tinged with sadness.
Ian reassured her, "Mom's there. she'll be okay."
"Right," Rita tilted her head, let out a sigh, "If I went missing, mom would probably cry her eyes out.
And you and grandma would be heartbroken too."
Suddenly, an image of a tall figure popped into Ian's head, "Mom has a husband."
Rita's eyes widened, "What? Who's mom's husband? Is it Kaleb Bourne?"
"No, mom's husband is that scoundrel's uncle."
Rita jolted upright, pulling Ian up with her.
"Brother, spill the beans."
In the dim light, Rita's eyes were sparkling.
"Elijah," Ian mentioned his name, "Mom just divorced him."
"Is he hot?" Rita was a sucker for handsome guys.
Ian replied, "He's pretty old." C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Rita was instantly disappointed.
"But he's loaded," Ian added.
"Brother, I want to see his picture. Can you show me?" Rita asked.
"He's not mom's husband anymore," Ian answered.
Rita pouted, "But I can't sleep now! Just let me take a quick look."
Ian got off the bed, turned on his computer, found Elijah's picture, and showed it to his sister.
Rita's eyes widened as she stared at Elijah's face, completely entranced, "he's so handsome! Brother,
he's way hotter than that jerk!"
"He's a jerk too," Ian said coldly, "Why else would mom divorce him?"
Rita said with dissatisfaction: "Brother, we two are really unlucky! Both our biological father and
stepfather are bad people! People in the Bourne family are not good people!"
Ian closed the laptop, took his sister's hand, and climbed back into bed, "Go to sleep."
Violette stayed up until five in the morning by the bed.
A few hours later, Makayla's fever subsided.
Exhausted, Violette went back to her room to take rest.
At seven in the morning.
Rita and Ian got up to check on Makayla.
