The next day, Micaela had a fever. Alba and Eric were worried.
-How can you have a fever for no reason? Mr. Aguayo would have skinned me if I hadn’t taken care of you!
They had left for Teladia and were in the car, Olivia had been picked up by her boyfriend the night before, so it was just the three of them, apart from the driver.
Alba looked at the thermometer in her hand, frowning:
-It’s been two hours since she took the fever reducer, why isn’t her temperature dropping?
Micaela leaned back in her chair, eyes narrowed, her whole body seeming devoid of energy.
She struggled to keep her eyes open and said weakly to Eric.
-Sorry for the delay at work…..
She did not expect to have a fever just from a cold shower….
-Your health is important, I had arranged a week off for you too, don’t blame yourself.
Eric calmed down:
-Micaela, shall we go straight to the hospital afterwards?
Micaela shook her head, feeling even more dizzy as she did so.
-No, I don’t want to go to the hospital, let’s go back to Barrio Fanslan and take more fever reducers….
Alba put down the thermometer and put her arm around Micaela to lean on her and kept trying to convince her:.
-Micaela, if you are sick you have to go to the hospital, an IV will bring down your fever faster….
Micaela’s body was cold and hot, she didn’t listen to what Alba was saying, her dazed mind kept reminiscing about the night.
On that night, her limbs were weak, just like now, her body was weak, a wave of heat radiated outward from her body, her whole body was boiling…..
The smell of the man, he seemed to smell good, she did not hate him at all….
Micaela covered her head with her hands and gave two strokes, breathing heavily….
“Micaela, you’re crazy! He’s evil, he’s taken away your innocence! I can’t believe you don’t hate him!”
-Micaela, Micaela, Micaela, okay, okay, we’re not going to the hospital, don’t scare me like that…..
Alba was terrified and clung to Micaela as Eric hurried to pour her a glass of warm water.
-My God, honey, what’s wrong, are you burning up?
Micaela opened her dry eyes and was a little sorry she had worried them.
After drinking some water, she fell asleep, but with a frown on her face.
Alba made sure she was asleep before raising her voice and explaining to the driver to go to Nyisrenda.
She had no experience in nursing and could not cook; Nyisrenda had maids who would surely take better care of her.
Alba hurried to call Carlos again.
She had wanted to call for some time, but Micaela wouldn’t let her….
The Aguayo Group Building.
Carlos was standing in front of the window, frowning.
Diego pushed the door:
-Mr. Aguayo, they’ve really gone to Salamentro and seem willing to go to Mr. Victor?
Carlos rubbed his forehead.
“Damian Atenas, Amelia Atenas…. I mustn’t be so soft on people like that!”
Carlos turned around.
-Parta toward Salamentro immediately.
-Yes.
Carlos had only taken two steps when his phone rang.
He paused and pulled out his phone, which displayed Alba’s name….
“Micaela is coming back…. Why is this woman calling me?”
Carlos picked up the phone despite his misgivings and the voice on the other end carried the anxious words.
-Mr. Aguayo, Micaela has a fever, she has taken an antipyretic and there is no sign of it coming down, she doesn’t want to go to the hospital, arrange for a doctor to come to her house, we will soon be in Nyisrenda….
Carlos’ heart sank.
“She has a special constitution, the effect of any medicine on her will be discounted? Why does she have a fever all of a sudden at that time?”
-Take care of her, I’ll be right back.
Hanging up the phone, Carlos headed for the elevator.
“Back to Salamentro, or Nyisrenda?”
Diego guessed and followed him, asking:
-Are we still going to Salamentro?
Carlos entered the elevator, raised his hand to stop Diego from entering and said without hesitation:
-Call Tomas, send more men, catch these two and bring them to me!
“This time, I won’t let them go lightly!”
-Stay in the office, I’ll go back to Nyisrenda.
Then he closed the elevator doors and called his doctor:
-Go to Nyisrenda immediately and bring the best medicine to bring down the fever!
Carlos’ car arrived at Nyisrenda almost at the same time as the nanny’s car in which Micaela was traveling.
As soon as he got out of the car he ran to her. The door opened quickly and Carlos got in.
-Mr. Aguayo… -Eric greeted cautiously.
Mr. Aguayo’s aura was so powerful that Eric couldn’t help but want to pull back every time, especially this time!
Carlos ignored the others, concentrating on looking at Micaela.
Alba turned her head and saw a worried and anxious Carlos….
Carlos saw the state Micaela was in and immediately reached out and took her in his arms. The warmth of her body startled him and he turned around and got out of the car quickly.
“He didn’t look at me, I thought he would blame me for not taking care of Micaela, but nothing…”
Alba dismissed the thoughts arising in her mind and spat at herself for thinking about it at that moment.
Carlos took Micaela straight to the second floor bedroom.
Micaela was in a daze and felt as if she could feel Carlos’ breathing, soothing her and making her feel guilty at the same time….
People who were sick seemed to be especially vulnerable, just feeling it all around them, with tears slipping from the corners of their closed eyes….
-Micaela behave yourself, the doctor will be here soon….
Carlos covered Micaela with a thin blanket, seeing her tears, he whispered softly in pain to comfort her, reaching out his hand to dry her tears….
“Why don’t you open your eyes to see me when you are clearly awake?”
The doctor entered, followed by Alba, Eric and Sofia.
-Mr. Aguayo…
Carlos sat on the edge of the bed and pointed to Micaela, who was lying on Simmons’ bed.
The doctor had already guessed that it must be Micaela who was sick, and it was only because of her that Mr. Aguayo was so anxious.
He pulled out his forehead temperature gun and took a temperature of 40 degrees.
Immediately, he opened the medicine cabinet and prepared the infusion.
Carlos looked at Micaela, who had stopped crying and seemed to have fallen asleep again, and said quietly:
-The resistance of her body to drugs is different from that of normal people.
The doctor paused for a moment in his movements and immediately said, as he operated:
-Mr. Aguayo, rest assured that the medicine is the same one you are using, the best, fast acting and with the least side effects.
Carlos nodded and pulled Micaela’s hand out from under the sheets.
“Is the drug resistance different from normal people?”
Alba was a little surprised, she had not known this…
