Chapter 2506
Night of Destiny
Novel My babyâs daddy chapter 2506-Since Richard was always strict about discipline, he wouldnât
allow Shirley to act
recklessly.
âAlright! Since youâre free over there, take good care of Zacharias. Ensure he
makes a swift recovery, as heâs needed to assist your great- uncle with work
matters.â He supported his daughterâs decision.
âYeah, I know, Dad.â
âYour mom would like to speak with you for a moment.â
After Richard finished speaking, a gentle voice came through. âShirley.â âMom,
whatâs up?â Shirley felt a sudden rush of nervousness. Her mother wouldnât start
prying, would she?
âNothing. I heard you volunteered to look after Zacharias in the hospital. I was a
bit surprised. Are you two just friends?â
âYes, weâre just friends.â Shirley began to feel uneasy.
âJust friends?â Angela wasnât entirely convinced. As a woman, her intuition told
her that her daughterâs proactive care for Zacharias went beyond mere
friendship.
âMom, itâs just friendship. Please donât jump to conclusions,â Shirley said
seriously, wanting to put an end to her motherâs wild speculations.
âAlright, itâs clear that youâve grown up, become responsible, and know how to
care for people.â Angela let the matter rest.
âMom, Iâll hang up now. Take care of yourselves!â After speaking, Shirley hung
up the phone, letting out a small sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, at the baseâs lounge, Angela hung up her phone. She asked her
husband, âCould our girl actually like Zacharias?â
Richard understood his wifeâs implication and asked with a smile, âIs that a
problem?â
âOf course not; itâs not a problem at all. Iâm just saying, our girl is still so young,
but her taste seems pretty good.â She couldnât help but feel that their daughter
was quite fortunate. Everything seemed very promising when she considered
Zachariasâ looks, family background, and prospects.
âWell then, letâs look forward to it! Itâs about time for our girl to venture out on her
own. We canât protect her forever,â Richard said. Angela also smiled. They only
had this one precious daughter, and they had high hopes for her future.
Shirley sat outside and chatted with Freddie, discussing their recent business
trip. After learning her identity, he was cautious about sensitive topics, but
otherwise, they had an open conversation.
They talked about regional development and current affairs, and before they
knew it, two hours had passed.
She went in to check on Zacharias from time to time. When she went in again,
she suddenly noticed his face was slightly flushed, and he was sweating
profusely on his forehead. When she wiped the sweat, she discovered he had a
dangerously high fever. She muttered, This is bad! He has a high fever.
Shirley pressed the nurse call button and went to the doctorâs office. The doctor
immediately came to check on Zacharias.
âImmediately start physical cooling for Mr. Flintstone,â the doctor said.
At this moment, Zacharias, who had been sleeping all this time, woke up. The
high fever made the corners of his eyes slightly red. His voice was hoarse as he
asked, âWhatâs wrong with me?â
âYou suddenly developed a high fever. Right now, weâll start with physical
cooling for you,â the doctor explained.
At the same time, a nurse was preparing the alcohol for cooling. One of the
other nurses lifted his blanket and unbuttoned his hospital gown. Shirley
watched as the doctor and nurses worked frantically, her heart pounding.
As the nurse with the cooling towel approached Zachariasâ neck, he suddenly
stiffened. He turned to the nurse uncomfortably and said, âGive the towel to her.
Let her help me with it.â
Shirley was suddenly called out. She was a bit dazed but quickly understood.
The nurse also blushed. Even though it wasnât the time to be blushing, the sight
of Zacharias unbuttoning his shirt was still undeniably attractive to any woman.
Under the doctorâs guidance, Shirley took the towel and began to help Zacharias
cool down. This time, he didnât feel uncomfortable, and he even relaxed.
âMr. Flintstone just took medicine, so weâll use physical cooling to lower your
temperature for now. If it doesnât work, weâll resort to medication, the doctor
explained. They couldnât afford to be careless with Zachariasâ medication.
