Chapter 1664
Dorothy was at her wits' end. She couldn't exactly drag Felicity to the hospital for a check-up, could she?
So, after much deliberation, Everett came up with an idea. They'd invite a renowned gynecologist to Anglonia first.
Then, they'd pretend to seek medical advice and, given Felicity's current ill health, suggest a consultation for her as well.
At least this way, they could confirm their suspicions!
If it turned out to be infertility, everything would make sense.
As for the rest...
They could leave it to their son to handle.
After all, meddling too much in the younger generation's affairs might not always be beneficial.
...
Felicity had been holding on for a while, but once the medication wore off, her fever spiked again.
With people around, she didn't want to draw attention or cause worry. So, she thought of sneaking to the dining table to grab the fever reducer Calvin had recently bought, while the living room was empty. But just as she approached the table, she looked up to find Miles tidying up the kitchen!
The atmosphere suddenly turned indescribable.
Awkward?
Or maybe, just uncomfortable.
With Ms. Sanchez and Mr. Lopez around earlier, Felicity had been a bit more at ease, not feeling so stiff.
Now, with just the two of them, the unpleasantness of their last encounter came flooding back.
It was clear Langston had been genuinely upset then.
It was also the first time he had let go willingly.
And she, fully aware that Miles was making a last-ditch effort, had still walked away.
Having had no contact since then, as if they were strangers, meeting again after several months naturally left her feeling out of sorts, awkwardly shuffling her feet. "What are you..."
"I finished eating and thought I'd help clean up a bit." Miles's voice was soft and refined, exuding an air of nobility.
Just the sound of it conveyed a sense of grace.
"Oh." Felicity forced a smile, grabbed the medicine, and turned to leave.
But he called out to her from behind.
Taking long strides, he quickly

Song strides, he quickly for a reaction, reachedel
her forehead.
"You have a fever."

She instinctively stepped back, only to be pulled back by his firm grip, "Why are you running?"
Miles, despite his genteel appearance and manner, was inherently assertive and dominant. ""I, I..."
"Have you seen a doctor?"
Felicity nodded obediently, "Yeah."
"Continuously running a fever isn't
good.
He frowned, guiding her back
to her foom, and then made a

a friend nearby, arranging fora doctor to visit.
Soon, he was by her bedside, handing her the medicine and a glass of water.
Being looked after by Miles made her feel somewhat guilty.
At Abigail's wedding, she was adamant about leaving, thinking that Langston would never forgive her in this lifetime. "Does it taste bad?"
Seeing Felicity hesitate, he assumed she was being stubborn about taking her medicine, just like when she was younger.
"Close your eyes, gulp it down in one go! Then, I'll go buy you some candied fruit."
Miles coaxed her as if she were a child.
She followed his instruction, swallowing the medicine with water.
Just as he was about to leave, Felicity suddenly spoke up softly, stopping him. "Langston."
"Hmm?"
"Did you come here really just to seek medical advice?"
She couldn't pinpoint any inconsistencies, relying solely on her intuition.
It all felt too sudden, too peculiar...
"Yes." It was Miles's turn to nod, "To find a final answer."
"Is Ms. Sanchez's condition that serious?"
He tugged at his lips, "Perhaps my condition is more severe. Whether it can be treated or not, we'll see this time."
