Chapter 504 Kyran Has a High Fever
Mrs. Cox said smilingly, “No. You didn’t make much noise. I found that both of you were rather quiet. However, after
seeing the condition of your lips, I can say that Mr. Reed’s behavior doesn’t match his mannerism.”
Deirdre was stunned and touched her lips subconsciously. She could feel that her lips were obviously swollen and
even a little tender to the touch.
At the thought of Kyran’s ferocity at the time, Deirdre’s cheeks burned with embarrassment. She felt rather shy in
her head but also delighted.
That seemed to be Kyran’s first time losing control of himself.
It was a good thing. After all, a person in love was not always sensible enough.
Mrs. Cox was delighted in her heart as she looked at Deirdre’s reaction. When she was done binding the rack, she
asked Deirdre, “What would you like to have for lunch today? I reserved some pork from Alby, who lives at the
village entrance. Shall we have it with roasted carrots today?”

“Where’s Mr. Reed? Does he have any dietary restrictions?”
“We don’t have any dietary restrictions.”
“Awesome! I shall cook something then.”
Deirdre helped out by her side. When the meal was prepared, Mrs. Cox looked in the direction of the room and said
in a puzzled tone, “Is Mr. Reed such a late riser? It’s the middle of the day already…”
“He got out of the hospital yesterday, so it’s possible that he is exhausted. I’ll wake him.” Deirdre got up, opened
the door, and walked to the bedside.
“Kyran, Kyran.”
She called him twice and did not receive a reply. She found it strange and stretched out her hand to touch Kyran.
Her heart started racing as soon as her hand touched Kyran’s face.
‘He’s burning up!‘
His body temperature was unusually high, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
“Deirdre.” Mrs. Cox opened the door halfway and asked, “Is Mr. Reed awake?”
Deirdre hastily said, “Mrs. Cox! Kyran has a high fever!”
She felt extremely guilty because she had not realized that after such a long time. She had assumed that Kyran was
tired. Kyran might have had a fever all night, yet she had not realized it!
Mrs. Cox was stunned. She opened the door and entered the room right away. She wore an anxious expression
instantly after feeling Kyran’s face. “I’m sure this is because of the few hours he spent in the living room last night!”
“What should we do then?” Deirdre took a deep breath, and she was so anxious that her hands were shaking. “Is
there a doctor in the village?”
“No,” Mrs. Cox said with a bitter smile. “It’s a poor village, and the capable villagers have moved away. The
remaining villagers are mostly elderly people who don’t mind being sick. They’re fine with dying, so no doctor would
start a clinic here because they won’t make a profit here anyway.”
“What should we do then?” Deirdre’s teeth were chattering. “Can we call someone? Call Mr. King so he can come
and pick up Kyran!”

from the rain yesterday. The road is inaccessible by cars.”
Deirdre felt the vision before her eyes darkened while Mrs. Cox said hesitantly, “We can only seek help from Hoyt.”
“Mr. Leigh?”
“He rides a bicycle to the market to get the medicine. He helps out when someone here falls sick on usual days. If
he can acquire the medicine, he can administer IV drip too.”
Deirdre hastily nodded. “I’ll get him!”
“I’ll come with you.”
Mrs. Cox shut the door and helped Deirdre to go over quickly.
Hoyt thought his eyes were playing tricks on him when he opened the door. He rubbed his eyes and said in surprise,
“Miss McKinnon? You’re still here?”
“I didn’t manage to leave because it was raining yesterday.” Deirdre was panic–stricken. However, that’s not
important. I need your help, Mr. Leigh. Kyran is having a high fever!”
Hoyt brought a thermometer to Mrs. Cox’s house and tested Kyran’s temperature. Kyran’s body temperature was
very high.
Hoyt could not care about anything else but made a promise before heading home to get his bicycle. “Don’t worry,
Miss McKinnon. I’ll get you the medicine and be back as soon as possible. I promise!”
