Chapter 569

Ryder was sitting by her bed, with a basin of water next to him.

Agnes took off the towel, “How long have I been out?”

“Two hours.”

“You had a high fever, so I tried to bring it down with a cold compress first. Now, take this medicine. If your fever doesn’t go down by tomorrow, we’ll have to get you to a hospital for an IV drip.”

Ryder got up, poured a glass of water, and handed her the medicine.

“You’ve been sleeping here for two hours. If someone was going to misunderstand, they would have done it already.”
