I smiled faintly and kept the note.

Feeling a little worried at the sight of Summer’s flushed face, I took out my phone and called Jared.

“Hello, Scarlett,” the man sounded cold and distant.

But I did not mind. I was silent for a second before saying, “Dr. Crest, can you come over to the villa? Summer is having a fever. I don’t want to bring her to the hospital because I’m afraid of cross-infection.”

It was an excuse. But there must be a starting point for everything, otherwise, things wouldn’t be done.

There was a moment of silence from the other end of the phone. Then, he replied, “Alright.”

With that said, he ended the call.

“She’s still running a high fever.” I stepped out of the way and let him in.
