StarNovelChapter 785:
“Then why do you have a fever?”
“I don’t know...”
Freya could only wait for the doctor to arrive. Even after giving him medicine for the fever, his temperature
refused to drop.
She mentally retraced yesterday's events, but no explanation surfaced for why he had fallen ill. He'd always
been healthy. Had his previous fevers chipped away at his immunity?
“Freya...” Kristian’s fingers tightened again, unwilling to let her go.
She turned her gaze to him. “What is it?”
“Will you promise not to leave me?” he asked quietly, his pallor tugging at her heart.

while the doctor got to work.
“How did he get sick?” Ellis asked, sensing something odd behind the illness.
“I don’t know.” Freya sifted through the memory of yesterday. With Gerard's usual caution, Kristian shouldn't
have caught a chill.
“When he’s better, talk to Lawrence,” Ellis said. “There's something off about Kristian’s condition.”
Freya hesitated. “What do you mean?”
“I'm not sure,” Ellis chose his words carefully. “But he’s seemed different since last night. Like he’s grown up a
