**Chapter 300: Fever**<\/p>\n
**Deanna\u2019s POV:**<\/p>\n
Once we were back inside the house, the air felt heavy with concern. I gently nudged Luis onto the bed, urging him to lie down.<\/p>\n
The dim light had masked the severity of his condition earlier, but now, as he settled onto the sheets, it became painfully clear. His face was not just flushed; his entire body radiated heat, like a furnace burning out of control.<\/p>\n
Thank goodness he was an Alpha. If he had been an Omega, there was no way he could have pushed himself to venture out in this state.<\/p>\n
Just as I was about to rise and fetch some supplies, Luis\u2019s hand shot out, gripping mine with surprising strength.<\/p>\n
His brow furrowed in discomfort, and his voice came out raspy, \u201cWhere do you think you\u2019re going?\u201d<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t help but scold him, my voice tinged with worry. \u201cDo you even realize how high your fever is? Forget 102; I\u2019m pretty sure you\u2019re nearing 200 degrees!\u201d<\/p>\n
A weak chuckle escaped his lips, a sound that seemed out of place given his condition.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re still laughing?\u201d I asked, incredulity lacing my tone.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause you\u2019re worried about me,\u201d he replied, a hint of smugness in his voice. He reached out, gently taking my hand and pressing it against his burning cheek. The heat radiated through my palm, spreading warmth throughout my entire being.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not worried about you,\u201d I insisted, though my heart betrayed me.<\/p>\n
I pulled my hand away, standing up to head into the bathroom.<\/p>\n
Grabbing a dry towel from the rack, I turned on the tap, letting the cold water run before wringing it out.<\/p>\n
When I returned to the bedroom, I found Luis with his eyes shut tight, his brows knitted in discomfort. He looked nothing like his usual cocky self; instead, he appeared vulnerable, almost fragile.<\/p>\n
That vulnerability tugged at my heartstrings, softening my resolve.<\/p>\n
I settled beside him, placing the cool towel on his forehead with gentle care.<\/p>\n
Just then, the doorbell echoed through the quiet room. It must be the doctor Luis had called.<\/p>\n
I hurried to the door, swinging it open to reveal Erik, a medical kit in his hands.<\/p>\n
He froze for a moment, surprise flickering across his features, before quickly regaining his composure. \u201cHey, Deanna. Fancy seeing you again.\u201d<\/p>\n
I nodded, inviting him inside and leading him to the bedroom where Luis lay.<\/p>\n
**Erik\u2019s POV:**<\/p>\n
As I followed Deanna into the room, I couldn\u2019t help but ask, \u201cSo, what\u2019s going on here?\u201d<\/p>\n
Seizing this rare opportunity to tease him, I replied deliberately, \u201cA fever might not seem serious, but look at how high your temperature is! You really shouldn\u2019t push your body too hard. Be considerate; Deanna\u2019s pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s eyes widened in shock at my words.<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s voice took on a dark tone. \u201cGet out.\u201d<\/p>\n
After a bit of lighthearted banter, I scribbled out a prescription, explaining to Deanna what to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n
She listened intently, worry etched across her face as she asked, \u201cWith such a high fever, will he be okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
I maintained a serious fa\u00e7ade, though I knew with Luis\u2019s healing abilities, he could probably recover without any medication. \u201cMaybe. But you need to stay with him the entire time. If it suddenly spikes above 122, that\u2019s a serious problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s eyes widened in alarm. \u201cIt\u2019s that serious?\u201d<\/p>\n
I nodded gravely. \u201cYeah. During times like this, pure-blood Alphas can get cranky. They might say all sorts of unreasonable things. Just go along with him; it works better than any medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna nodded, determination in her gaze. \u201cOkay, got it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seeing her so naive to the ways of dealing with a sick Alpha, I couldn\u2019t help but smirk a little.<\/p>\n
Bro, that\u2019s all the help I can offer you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2382","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
