Chapter 72

  Catherine's POV

  At Blake's insistence, we went to the best hospital in Sayreville, though it was relatively far from the lakeside villa.

  After the doctor examined Hedwig, we gave her something to reduce her fever. Soon, Hedwig started to sweat, and she was no longer burning.

  The doctor said that Hedwig's fever was because of her inflamed throat.

  The doctor prescribed some medicine and told us to go back to see how things went. If Hedwig didn't get better, we had to come back tomorrow for further treatment.

  On the way back, I was a little tired. Hedwig was in Blake's arms, and I leaned against the back seat with my eyes closed.

  Maybe I was too sleepy. I just wanted to take a nap, yet I fell asleep.

  I slept soundly and did not realize that I was leaning against Blake's shoulder.

  The car drove back to the villa.

  It was already past four in the morning.

  I woke up and suddenly found my head resting on something warm. I froze.
