Chapter 54
My body was covered in a blanket, and I could also feel the body heat
coming from Liam. However, I was still shivering a little as I felt cold all over. I
subconsciously moved closer to Liam to get warm.
Liam had his eyes closed as he lightly put his forehead against mine. A brief
while later, he slowly sat up and took an ear thermometer from the bedside
table.

He noticed that I was awake, and he placed the thermometer next to my ear.
“You’re having a fever again.”
After he had gotten the reading, Liam reached for the medicine and water
placed on the bedside table and handed them to me.
As I swallowed the medicine, Liam looked at me and said, “You’re running a
fever for two days now. Did you enjoy catching a cold? Are you going to run
off on a whim like that again?”

He’s talking about that night during Christmas.
It was very cold that night. However, cancer patients often suffer from
recurrent bouts of fever. It’s a sign that their condition is deteriorating.
After that, I lay down and tried to go back to sleep. Liam stuck his body next
to mine and pulled me into his embrace yet again. Eventually, I fell into a
deep sleep.

It was well past eight when I woke up later in the morning. My fever had
subsided, and Liam was no longer in bed. I vaguely remembered him waking
me up briefly before he left for work.
I think he was telling me to stay at home.
While I tried to remember if Liam had said anything more, I caught a faint
whiff of a familiar scent. Liam’s body scent was still lingering on my skin.
Just then, I spotted a document placed on the bedside table. It was an
agreement to transfer the ownership of some shares to me with Liam’s

signature on it.
I kept my gaze on the document for a while. Then, I picked it up and tore it in
half. I opened the drawer and stuffed the shredded paper into it.
I went to the bathroom to take a shower next. I was feeling slightly
light–headed, and the smell of shampoo made me nauseous. I quickly
washed and headed out to take my medication.
As I didn’t feel like eating that morning, I decided to skip breakfast and went
into the study. I turned on the computer and started going through the
information I had gathered for the project.
Soon afterward, I found myself craving something sour, so I asked Mrs.
Sullivan to cut up some oranges.
When Mrs. Sullivan came into the study and placed a plate of fruits on the
table, she did not leave right away. Instead, she stared at me intently for
quite some time.

I felt the intensity of her gaze and asked curiously, “is something the motter”
“Ms. Vivienne, is it possible that you’re pregnant?” She said, “I noticed that you
were feeling nauseous earlier. Now, you’re asking for something like oranges
as well.”
I shook my head. “No. I’m not pregnant.”
Though I’m not that fond of eating oranges, I would still have them from time
to time.
Also, even though I haven’t had my period this month, it’s probably due to the
effect of the medication that I’m on at the moment. One of the medicine’s
side effects was that it prevents pregnancy.
I skipped lunch that day and managed to prepare everything that Liam
asked for by three in the afternoon.
Sigh… Even if Liam were interested in investing in this project, would I be able
to stay around and complete the project in time? I have at most five months

now. Who knows when I might suddenly pass out and join my mother in the
afterlife?
Liam did not return home for dinner that night, so I had dinner with the
servants and went to bed early.
5/9
While I was deep asleep, I felt something heavy pressing down on me, and I
detected the strong stench of alcohol. I struggled to open my eyes and found
Liam’s face dangerously close to mine.
I pushed against his shoulders to put some distance between us. “You can’t
do it today.
“I’m still very tired because of the fever yesterday. What time is it now?”
“It’s 3.00 am now,” he muttered in a low voice. Then, he pushed his face closer
to mine and kissed me.
It was simply impossible for me to shove Liam away due to the differences in
our strength and size. I gave up eventually. Fortunately, Liam just kissed me

for a long time. Soon afterward, I fell asleep again since I was feeling very
tired.
6/9
After having breakfast the next morning, I entered the study and noticed that
the documents I prepared regarding the project were missing.
I checked the surveillance footage and found the person who took it. Liam
was seen arriving home at midnight. Then, he left the apartment before 6.00
am.
Sigh… He’s not asking me to explain the photos to the public. Instead, he
wants me to stay out of everyone’s sight for the time being. What is he trying
to do?
Just then, the sound of the doorbell ringing could be heard.
I exited the study and saw Mrs. Sullivan speaking on the intercom, “I’m sorry,
but Ms. Vivienne is resting at the moment.”
I could see Anna’s face on the screen of the intercom. She seemed agitated.

“Wake her up, then! I have something urgent to tell her, Mrs. Sullivan!”
7/9
“Ms. Vivienne came down with a fever for the past two days. Mr. Mendez said
that the doctor had specifically instructed her to stay at home and rest. She
can’t stand the cold weather outside right now.” Mrs. Sullivan continued, “Mr.
Mendez also said that I should contact him if you were to show up here. He
doesn’t want you to disturb Ms. Vivienne’s rest.”
“My father’s condition has worsened, though! You’ve been working for us for a
long time, Mrs. Sullivan. Don’t you think the issue is important enough to notify
Vivienne?” Anna asked in a shrill voice.
“I…”
As Mrs. Sullivan hesitated about what to do, I hurried over to the door and
pressed the button to give Anna access to the building. “Let her come up
here!”
Soon enough, Anna arrived at our floor. As soon as I opened the door for her,
she said, “You shouldn’t stay here anymore, Vivi. Go and get dressed. You’re

leaving with me.”
I asked, “Why? What happened?”
Mrs. Crawford and the other servants had gathered near the front door. She
said in a gentle voice, “Ms. Anna, Mr. Mendez said that we should follow his
arrangements.”

“Follow his arrangements?! He’s going to marry someone else soon!” Anna
shouted furiously at Mrs. Crawford. Then, she looked at me. “Come with me!
Put on your scarf and sunglasses. There are a bunch of reporters downstairs.
Hurry! More of them are gonna show up here the longer you take!”
Mrs. Sullivan held up her phone. “Ms. Anna, you can’t take Ms. Vivienne with
you. I’ll call Mr. Mendez and you can talk to him…”
Anna threw her arm back and slapped Mrs. Sullivan across the face. “Don’t
you dare call him! Did we not treat the lot of you well back when you were
working for our family? Why are you helping that man keep my sister here?!”

Mrs. Sullivan fell silent as she covered her red, swollen cheek. She had a torn
expression on her face.
