His Eagle Eyes on Me

A while later, Fergus arrived at Shelly's apartment in his car. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Shelly stepped outside of her room with Audrey and a bagful of her things.

Shelly's mother heard the commotion and stepped out of her own room. "What's wrong, Shelly?"

"Mom, Audrey is burning up. I'm taking her to a hospital. Go back to sleep! I've called Fergus, and he is waiting downstairs." Shelly did not want her mother to stay up. "It's raining heavily, and I don't know if the hospital is packed. Don't worry. Fergus will help, and I can handle it."

"I will walk you downstairs, then." Shelly's mother grabbed an umbrella and exited the apartment with her.

Fergus was waiting outside the entrance of their building, and, as soon as he spotted Shelly and her mother, he hurried over to shield them with his umbrella.

"Aunty, go back and rest! A fever isn't a big deal. I will drive them home once the doctors have had a look at the baby," Fergus said as he helped Shelly into the backseat of his car.

He then reentered the car and started driving toward the hospital.

It was pouring, and there was not a car or passerby in sight.

When the street light turned red, Fergus glanced at the backseat.

"Shelly, is it a girl or a boy?"

Shelly replied, "It's a girl."

"Oh... Your daughter is truly beautiful! Just as beautiful as you," Fergus said, while Audrey, with her big eyes wide open, stared at him.

Though Audrey had a fever at the moment, and her cheeks were flushed red, she neither cried nor fussed. She just kept her big eyes open, looking around.

Shelly could not help but feel a pang of heartache as she watched her daughter.

"Fergus, can you promise not to tell anyone about my daughter? Including your boss," Shelly pleaded. If she had been left with another choice, she would not have asked for his help.

Fergus and Hayden both worked at the same company, and she was worried that the next time they met, Hayden would learn about Audrey's existence.

"Oh, all right. If you don't want me to say anything, I won't. I won't even tell my own family," Fergus assured her. "Doesn't the child have a father? If I were the father of such a beautiful child, I would never abandon her."

"The light's turned green," Shelly informed him.

Fergus stepped on the accelerator and drove the car out.

In no time, the car was parked in the hospital parking lot.

Fergus exited the car first and opened his umbrella. He then shielded Shelly and the child from the rain as they got out.

"Should I carry her instead?" Fergus asked, concerned that Shelly might be tired from carrying her.

"It's all right. I can carry her," Shelly replied, holding her baby close and hurrying toward the emergency room.

"Shelly, don't worry too much. Just give her fever-reducing medicine and she'll be fine," Fergus said, walking briskly beside her with the umbrella.

"Yes, I know. I'm just worried about her. She's so little. It's all my fault for not taking good care of her." Shelly blamed herself deeply.

She could not figure out how she had failed to take care of her child and caused her to fall ill.

"They all grow up, little by little, like this."

The emergency pediatric ward was not crowded that night.

After a short wait, it was Shelly's turn.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Shelly carried Audrey into the examination room, and the doctor, upon seeing the two of them, immediately spoke. "When a child has a fever, you shouldn't cover them up so much. Fever is the body's way of dissipating heat. Covering her in so many blankets only hampers that dissipation."

The doctor personally removed the swaddling blankets from Audrey's body and took off her little jacket.

"I thought she had a fever because she was cold," Shelly said awkwardly.

"Is this your first child? You seem inexperienced," the doctor remarked before prescribing fever-reducing medication. "Go to the payment counter next to get the medicine. Start with reducing her fever."

The doctor handed the prescription to Fergus.

Fergus immediately took the prescription and went to purchase the medication.
