Chapter 205 - 205. Fever (2)

"Is Mom sick because I don't do what Mom asked yesterday?" the boy asked again.

Naila smiled at the question of the child in front of her, "Hehe, then next time don't be naughty, honey."

Dave nodded confidently, "Okay Auntie. I promise not to be naughty again and will obey everything Mom says,"

"Good, now you play in your room. Is it okay if Aunt doesn't come with you?"

"Do you want to look after my Mother?"

Naila only responded with a smile.

"Then I will just play here, Auntie, while taking care of my mother too."

"Hmm, fine. But be careful, okay? Your mother will wake up later."

"Okay Auntie," replied the boy while nodding excitedly.

Until a few minutes passed.

There was a knock on Anna's bedroom door again, as Leo appeared.

"This is the medicine," said the man, handing Naila a mini paper bag.

Thanks, Leo.

"Anna," said Naila, waking her up by gently patting her cheek.

"She's getting hotter," Naila muttered, but her voice still reached Leo's ears.

"Have you fed her?" Leo asked.

"No, she doesn't want to wake up."

"I've woken her up several times but the response is always the same. Anna just replied 'later, later, and later." replied Naila.

"She has to eat, or she's getting weaker," Leo said.

Naila, who heard that, nodded and then woke up Anna again.

"Anna, wake up. You have to eat and take medicine," said Naila.

Anna only opened her eyes briefly, her gaze seemed glazed, then nodded faintly.

Seeing the response of the woman in front of her, Naila immediately helped Anna get up and then fed her the chicken porridge which was getting cold.

"Where's my son?". Anna asked, her voice sounding very weak and hoarse.

"Over there, playing," Naila replied while moving the spoon in her hand in a direction.

"Has he eaten?"

"Don't worry about your son. All you need to do now is get well as soon as possible, Anna," replied Naila.

Hearing that, Anna was silent, her feelings were floating, dizziness and lightheadedness occasionally hit her, making her vision cloudy. She could feel how hot her body temperature was right now.

"Leave Dave to me," Naila said again.

Anna nodded, "Thank you, Naila."

The girl just smiled.

"It's eating again?" the girl handed her another spoonful of porridge.

"I'm full," replied Anna.

"You've only eaten a few spoonfuls, finish this. Remember your son."

Hearing that, Anna glanced at the boy who was busy playing in the corner of the room, it seemed that Dave still didn't realize that she had woken up.

That's right, she can't be lazy. There was Dave she had to protect.

"Okay," Anna said after a few seconds of silence.

The woman continued to eat, finished the porridge that Naila gave her, then drank various types of medicine that she did not know the benefits of.

"Thanks, Naila, Leo," Anna said after taking a sip of the water in the glass in her hand.

"Don't hesitate, you should go back to rest," Leo replied. A deep sigh escaped his lips.

Anna just nodded, only right after she landed her head on the pillow, suddenly her memory of last night's events spun like a broken record in her head.

"Where's my cell phone?" asked Anna tilting her head left and right, looking for her flat-shaped object.

"Your phone is low on battery, so I charge it," Naila replied.

"Next time don't sleep on the floor. Lucky you just have a fever," replied Naila, pretending not to know about the photo she saw.

Hearing that, Anna breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now you just rest, and don't think about anything else," Naila said gently stroking the woman's hair.

The one she spoke to nodded faintly.

"Again, thank you," said Anna.

And after that, the woman slowly closed her eyes which suddenly felt heavy, and only a few minutes later. Anna is sleeping.

After confirming that Anna was asleep, Naila turned to Leo.

"Do you want to say something about something?" Leo asked with a questioning look.

"I want to talk to you about something," said Naila as she rose from her position.

"Follow me to my room," she added after seeing Dave still playing.

"Eh?"

Naila immediately pulled Leo's arm out of the room, entered her room, and locked it tightly.

"You're not going to rape me, are you?"

"Aww." Leo's scream sounded right after he finished his sentence.

"Should you step on my feet?" Leo groaned as he walked with limp steps, towards the mini sofa in the room.

"I'm serious Leo, stop playing around."

"Okay, I'm sorry, honey," Leo replied, then tried to normalize his expression.

"When is Devan and Byanca's wedding?" Naila asked after landing her body on the sofa.

"Ha?"

"Do you know why Anna became like this?" Naila asked, making Leo's brows furrow.

"I know, actually my actions are inappropriate, I realize that I have no right to interfere in their business, it's just that Devan has gone too far, Leo."

"What? What happened? Tell me slowly, honey," Leo replied.

Hearing that, Naila then took a deep breath. Then told them what happened, also she showed them pictures of Devan and Byanca which she had sent to her cell phone.

After hearing everything, Leo was stunned for a moment. The man seemed to be trying to digest everything Naila said.

Distrust flashed in him, but on the other hand, he couldn't find a reason why he still trusted his cousin.

"Devan couldn't have done this," Leo muttered, one of his hands clenched into a tight fist.

"So I want to ask you a favor, Leo."

"What's that?" The man reflexively looked at Naila.

"Ehm, can I borrow your money? Whatever it is, I promise to replace it," Naila said without further ado, for this she is serious, she will use the money to take Anna away, anywhere. And after Anna and her son's life is back to normal, she will return to her family and obey her father's request on the condition that all Leo's money must be returned.

Leo's brow furrowed, "What did you say, honey? Money? How much do you need? And for what?"

"Could you not ask this?" replied Naila.

"So what? I'm just afraid you'll do something stupid."

Naila didn't answer making the man squint suspiciously.

"I will confirm everything to Devan, after receiving an explanation from the man, then I will give you the money," Leo said as if he knew what the girl was thinking.

Naila sighed harshly, "What other explanation? Everything in the photo is clear, Leo. I can't bear to let Anna stay here any longer and continue to be toyed with by your cousin," said Naila.

"Trust me, honey. I won't stay silent either and will stand up for them."

"Now, don't have to worry, OK?
