Chapter 987: I'm Sorry for Waking You
Late at night, someone knocked on Dermot's door.
Dermot had just gone to bed after work and was annoyed at being disturbed.
He opened the door angrily and was shocked to see Evelyn. "Evelyn?"
Evelyn leaned against the wall, looking exhausted. "Sorry for waking you."
"What's wrong?" Dermot noticed something was off and pulled her into his arms.
Under the light, he saw her flushed cheeks and touched her forehead. "You have a fever?"
"Yeah," Evelyn said weakly. "Probably caught a chill today."
She had been out in the snow and spent time in the cold after Keith's love confession.
Worried, Dermot carried her to his bed and brought her some water. "Wipe yourself down to cool off."
"Okay," Evelyn nodded. "Do you have any fever medicine? I don't have any at home."
She had just moved in and hadn't stocked up. Going to Kyte Manor now seemed impossible.
"I'll go buy some," Dermot said. He rarely got sick, so he didn't have any medicine at home.
As he turned to leave, Evelyn stopped him. "It's late, and the pharmacy might be closed. Plus, it's really cold."
"Rest. I'll be back soon," Dermot insisted, knowing she needed the medicine.
After he left, Evelyn struggled to the bathroom.
Dermot was right; she needed to cool down. She worried about becoming delirious if the fever persisted.
She decided to take a hot shower. The water made her feel better and cleared her mind.
Realizing she was in Dermot's house, she felt embarrassed. She wanted to finish quickly before he returned.
She turned off the water and looked for a towel but realized she didn't have one.
Feeling desperate, she reached for her clothes when there was a knock on the bathroom door.
"Evelyn, are you in there?" Dermot called.
Evelyn responded, wishing she could disappear.
"I left a towel and some clothes at the door. Come get them. I'll wait in the living room," Dermot said, leaving the items and walking away.
