Chapter 422: Concern

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Charlotte touched Audrey’s forehead with heartache and said, “I turned on the air conditioner last night. If I had known, I would have lowered the temperature.”

Audrey narrowed her eyes. At that moment, her pale face made her look extremely pitiful.

Charlotte first took Audrey’s temperature. After a while, when she saw that the thermometer showed 39 degrees, she couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

“You really have a fever,” Charlotte said. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”

“Ah… Sister,” Audrey hurriedly said. “I don’t want to go to the hospital. I just want to sleep in the hotel.”

Charlotte looked suspicious. “Are you sure you don’t want to go to the hospital?”

Audrey shook her head with difficulty.

Charlotte was in a dilemma. At this moment, her phone rang.

Audrey immediately became vigilant!

Had Ollie called?

Indeed, Audrey quickly heard Charlotte say into the phone, “Ollie, what’s wrong?”

Taking advantage of Charlotte’s back facing her, Audrey couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

No matter what, she had to make Charlotte stay in the hotel today.

Soon, Audrey heard Charlotte say with some difficulty, “I might not be able to get out now… My sister is sick.”

Upon hearing this, Audrey let out a moan. “Aw…”

Charlotte immediately turned around.

Audrey then put on a pained expression and said, “Sister, I feel terrible… I feel like I’m about to die…”

Charlotte hurriedly walked to the bed and tucked Audrey in.

“My sister’s condition is a little serious.” Charlotte said to the person on the other end of the phone, “I’m afraid… what?”

Audrey immediately pricked up her ears warily.

Charlotte asked in surprise, “You mean… you’re coming to visit Audrey?”

‘What? That guy’s coming to the hotel?’

Audrey’s eyes immediately widened.

The reason why she was sick was to let Charlotte interact less with Ollie. If that guy came, wouldn’t her plan fail?

Audrey hurriedly coughed twice before saying weakly, “Sister… I just want to sleep. I don’t want to see outsiders…”

Ollie was such a shrewd person. He might have already guessed that Audrey was deliberately stalling for time—or rather, completely destroying their plan to climb the mountain today.

If that fellow came to the hotel now, not only would he secretly laugh at Audrey, but if he said a few more words to Charlotte, Charlotte might soften her heart and leave with him.

No, absolutely not!

A raging fire rose in Audrey’s heart. Soon, her face turned even paler as she said, “Sister… I just want to be with you. I don’t want to see outsiders. Sister, don’t leave me.”

Charlotte quickly rejected him. “Let’s go hiking another day. I have to take care of Audrey now. I can’t leave her alone in the hotel.”

Ollie did not insist. Instead, he said, “Alright, I wish your sister a speedy recovery.”

A speedy recovery?

Huh.

Audrey couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.

She didn’t need Ollie’s concern.

She had a feeling that Ollie was a hypocrite.

Although Charlotte felt a little regretful that her plan to go hiking today had been canceled, she was more worried about Audrey’s health.

Audrey felt even more dizzy, but she was still very happy when she thought about how Charlotte had finally stayed.

At this moment, Evans was thinking about Audrey’s feigned illness.

Evans was still worried, so he sent a message to Audrey.

At this moment, Charlotte was fetching hot water for Audrey to drink.

Taking advantage of Charlotte’s absence, Audrey replied to Evans.

Audrey: Guess what I’m doing now?

Evans: ?

Audrey sent the thermometer to him.

Evans quickly became extremely shocked.

Evans: Are you really running a fever?

Audrey: That’s right! Last night, in order to make my pretense more realistic, I poured cold water on my feet.

Evans: How can you not cherish your body? You’re too rash!

Audrey sensed that Evans seemed to be a little angry.

Audrey: Aiya… Dear Mr. Hill, please don’t worry, okay? At least I’ve achieved my goal.

Evans: Audrey, promise me that you won’t use such a stupid method next time. This isn’t good for you.

Audrey was already sick. When she saw Evans’s words, her eyes inexplicably welled up.
