Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 487

Victor passed out.

Roger carried Victor on his back and put him on the bed.

Lila walked over to the bed, extended her hand, and touched Victor’s forehead.

"I’m afraid he has a high fever.He’s burning up."

Victor’s forehead was so hot that Lila had to retract her hand right away.

"Miss Bennet, if his fever doesn’t go down, he could die."

"Do you have any antipyretics at home, Lila?" Roger asked.

"Yes, we have some.Mr.Torres told me that we must store some antipyretics at home, so I went to the pharmacy to get several them before Miss Bennet came back.But judging from his situation, I’m afraid that even the antipyretics won’t work since the fever is intensely high."

Lila lowered her head.

Roger heaved a sigh and peered out the window.It was still pouring outside, and the dark sky was accompanied by deafening thunders from time to time.

"Let’s give him some medicine first.I’ll bring him to the hospital when the rain stops."

Then, Roger turned to face Rachel as if he was asking for her opinion.

Rachel pulled out her phone and called Carson.

The phone kept ringing for a while, but then Carson dismissed the phone.

Rachel’s temples throbbed.She put her phone down and raised her head, meeting Roger’s gaze.She carefully considered his suggestion and said, "I guess that’s all we can do for now.But can he take antipyretics when injured?"

"I’ll ask my sister.It shouldn’t be a problem."

Rachel gave him a nod.

Lila went to get the medicine kit and returned with several boxes of antipyretics from different brands.

She went through the boxes one by one, unsure of what to choose because she had never encountered anything like this before.

"Lila, give them to me."

Noticing Lila’s panic, Rachel got a hold of the medicine boxes.

"Please get me a glass of warm water."

"Yes, Miss Bennet."

Lila clasped her hands together and left the room in a hurry.

Roger took a quick picture of the antipyretics and sent it to Clara.

"I’ll call Clara and ask her about it."

"Thank you, Roger."

Roger exited the room and went down the corridor to call Clara, leaving Rachel and Victor alone in the guestroom Suddenly, there was a faint voice coming from the bed’s direction.

The weak and pale man lying there moved his lips and mumbled incoherently.

Noticing this, Rachel walked up to the edge of the bed.

She tried to listen closely, but his voice was so low that she had trouble understanding what he was trying to say.

"What?" she asked.

Victor murmured once more, his eyes closed.

"What did you say?"

Rachel could still barely hear it.

Looking at Victor’s pale face, she assumed he must have been talking in his sleep.

It was common for people with insanely high fever to be delirious.

But, on second thought, she was worried Victor had something important to say.

She backed up a little and hesitated.

After another mumble came out of Victor, Rachel decided to lean over him and brought her ear closer to his lips.

This time, she could hear his words crystal clear.

"Cold…" Victor said Cold? Rachel eyed the heater.

People could walk around in short T-shirts since the room was so warm.

How could Victor be cold? Only then did Rachel notice the change of color on Victor’s lips.

They were turning purple.

Victor’s body started to shiver all of a sudden. Fearful that he would lose consciousness, Rachel reached out and gently gripped Victor’s shoulders in an attempt to wake him up.

"Victor? Victor"

"Rachel…" Victor called out again softly.

"Victor? Are you awake?"

When Rachel heard Victor call her name, she thought he had already regained consciousness.

However, there was no response from Victor.He had not woken up yet.He was in the middle of a dream.

Rachel’s eyes narrowed as she placed the back of her hand on Victor’s hot forehead.

She couldn’t believe how high his temperature was.
