Chapter 216 Orlando Had a Fever

Chapter 216 Orlando Had a Fever

Upstairs.

Orlando felt a bit hot, even after unbuttoning a few buttons.

This feeling was familiar, and the pain from his back wound intensified along with the heat.

Thinking about the cup of tea he had with Rex earlier, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he felt a surge of heat throughout his body.

He got up and walked into the bathroom, splashing cold water on his face.

But the heat still couldn't be suppressed.

He looked up and stared at the mirror in front of him.

However, he caught a familiar scent in the bathroom, different from the perfume that woman had on at the hotel. It wasn't unpleasant.

Orlando had a slight cleanliness obsession and would never share a bathroom with anyone. It was dirty.

But now, his body had no adverse reaction, only a growing sensation of heat.

Rex's tricks this time were unexpected. It was probably because of the punishment he had imposed, making Rex believe that he and Penny couldn't get along. And today, he must have been provoked by someone's phone call, so he followed him to Hills Villa.

Orlando rubbed his temples with his hand and glanced at the things on the vanity.

There was only a simple face wash.

The bathroom was clean, not a single drop of water stain.

Orlando lowered his eyelashes and walked out of the bathroom, and then he saw the motionless figure on the bed. He sneered and returned to the single sofa.

He definitely wouldn't touch the bed.

But the heat in his body was becoming unbearable, especially under the familiar scent in the room, which made it increasingly difficult to endure.

"What incense did you put in the room?"

He frowned and asked the person on the bed in a hoarse voice.

Penny furrowed her eyebrows when she heard this. What incense?

She didn't like those things, so she never used them.

Now she was curled up in the blanket and afraid that Orlando would come over and lift it.

But Orlando only asked this question and didn't want to talk to her.

He closed his eyes, trying to relieve the discomfort in his body.

But the heat rushed to his head, coupled with the burning pain in his back, making everything in front of him blurry.

After a while.

Penny quietly reached out her hand to turn off the lights in the room, and then she moved the blanket aside and searched for Orlando's figure in the room. Orlando leaned back on the single sofa, and his shirt was open, slightly tilting his head back.

Penny didn't forget about the wound on his back. Even if he applied medicine, it would take a while to heal.

Now he sat there in silence, and she was worried that there might be a problem with the wound.

"Mr. Fletcher?"

She called out.

But Orlando didn't respond.

Even without getting close, Penny could feel the heat radiating from his body.

She lifted the blanket and got out of bed, walking closer to check, but she saw that he still hadn't opened his eyes.

She placed her hand on his forehead, and it was so hot that she almost dropped her own hand.

Orlando had a fever!

Penny became extremely worried and called out again, "Mr. Fletcher?"

He must be delirious from the fever.

Penny hurriedly walked to the door and knocked.

"Anika, open the door, Mr. Fletcher has a fever."

At this moment, Rex had already left, and he instructed Anika not to let anyone out under any circumstances.

But Anika had never thought that Orlando would have a fever.

She quickly took out the key and just as she opened the door, she felt a wave of heat coming from inside.

Penny helped Orlando up, feeling a sense of urgency.

"Anika, lend me a hand."

Anika went to call the driver and informed Penny.

"Rex gave Mr. Fletcher some medicine in that aspect."

Upon hearing this, Penny felt a headache. Old Mr. Fletcher had just finished whipping him, and his wounds hadn't even healed yet, but he was given that kind of medicine again. It seemed like Old Mr. Fletcher didn't care about Orlando's life at all.

The driver and Penny worked together to put him in the car and rushed to the hospital.

Considering Orlando's back injury, Penny could only sit by his side, holding his body to prevent him from leaning back.

They arrived at the hospital, and the doctor took him into the ward.

Penny waited outside for a while but ended up calling Rex to inform him that Orlando had a fever.

Unexpectedly, Rex didn't seem worried at all.

"He won't die, that kid used to hang out in the army, and he grew up tough. Penny, you can take care of him in the hospital and develop some feelings with him. I already know that you haven't slept together, and it must be Orlando's fault. Anyway, if you have any grievances, you can tell me. You're my daughter-in-law, and it can only be you."

After hearing these words, Penny was left speechless.

Orlando's high fever was fierce. He received antipyretic injections and IV fluids, and the doctor also treated his back wound.

"Are you family members? We need someone to stay here. When the IV is finished, we'll remove the needle."

Naturally, Penny stayed behind.

At this moment, she felt quite sorry for Orlando.

After all, their engagement not only caused him to break up with his lover, but now he was also suffering from physical pain.
