Just as he was deep in thought, his phone rang. It was the maid from the villa. Mr. Schultz, your son is running a high fever. It seems serious. Hes passed out! she said, her voice trembling.
Austins frail image crossed Jarrods mind, making him wonder how Austin could be so delicate that a simple fever could make him faint.
The maid continued urgently, The nanny caring for him is crying and begging to take him to the hospital. What should I do?
The maid didnt dare to make decisions on her own, being just a servant responsible for Austins daily needs. The bodyguards outside wouldnt let Austin leave. If the manny hadnt knelt down to emphasize the gravity of the situation, the maid wouldnt have made the call.
Jarrod commanded without hesitation, Get the family doctor to take a look. Hold on!
He thought of something and quickly said, Hand the phone to the nanny and let her make one call. Stay close by and keep track of the time.
Understood, sir. The maid was puzzled by Jarrods sudden change of plan, but she had to follow his orders. She hurried upstairs, handed the phone to the nanny who was caring for Austin, and relayed, Mr. Schultz said you can make a call.

The nanny, confused, asked nervously, Why hasnt Mr. Schultz sent us to the hospital yet? Austin is so ill
The maid saw Austins flushed face and felt a pang of guilt but couldnt help. This is his order. Are you going to make the call or not? she asked firmly.
Yes.. Yes, Ill call, the nanny replied through gritted teeth. She knew Jarrod was forcing her to call Nicole. She had told Austin before that they needed to behave, avoid causing trouble, and not make Nicole worry about them.
The nanny never expected Austin to bear her words in mind and endure his discomfort in silence until he fainted from a high fever.
Terrified, the manny abandoned her hesitation and called Nicole immediately.

Nicole answered quickly, and hearing her voice, the nanny broke into tears. Miss, Austin
Nicole stood up in shock. What happened to Austin?
Austins running a high fever, and hes passed out. Mr. Jarrod hasnt taken us to the hospital. the nanny said between sobs.
Nicoles chest tightened.
After Nicole hung up, Roscoe noticed her worried expression. Is something wrong with Austin? he asked.
Nicole nodded and said, Austin has a fever.
Without hesitation, Roscoe tried to remove his IV. Ill come with you to check on him.
No! Nicole stopped him from pulling out the needle. Dont move. Keep getting the infusion. Ill handle this myself.
Nicole was concerned that if Roscoe went with her, Jarrod, unpredictable as ever, could further delay Austins treatment.
Nicole, filled with worry, reassured him, Dont worry, Roscoe. I wont let Jarrod intimidate me anymore. Ill stand up to him.
She urged Roscoe, Focus on your recovery. Once youre better, well hire a lawyer and fight to get Austin back.
Seeing how determined Nicole was, Roscoe grasped his presence would only worsen the situation. Go quickly. Take care of Austin. Ill stay here.
