Stanley paused for a moment before replying, "Alright." "Please let me know if there are any updates," Nicole
requested, and brought the kids into the car.
Knowing that Stanley was going out to look for Tia, Nolan and Lana did not bother to follow him. Instead, they got
into the car and went to school right away.
Meanwhile, Stanley had just entered the house in the backyard, which was unusually quiet.
"Tia?" Stanley called out to her.
"Mr. Riddle, is that you?" Tia asked, her voice hoarse.
Stanley could already tell that she was weak, and upon hearing Tia's voice emanating from the room, he rushed
over.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Tia lying in bed, looking ill, causing him to frown and ask, "What happened?"
"I think I’m down with a co...."
Before Tia could finish her sentence, she began to cough.
Seeing that Tia was in such a terrible condition, Stanley walked over and placed his hand on Tia's forehead. She was

"Your body is very warm. I'll bring you to the hospital," he said as he carried Tia in his arms.
"Sir, n-" Tia wanted to stop him, but Stanley had already brought them out of the room by then.
"Grandma, Tia is sick. I'm bringing her to the hospital." Stanley explained as Mrs. Wallace Sr., who had heard the
commotion, approached them.
Seeing what was going on, Mrs. Wallace Sr. replied, "You should hurry. She's already sick but she still insisted on
preparing breakfast for me. In the end, she did not eat at all. Then, her headache became too much for her to
bear, so she took some medicine and returned to her room to rest."
Hearing that Tia had only taken some over-the-counter medication to treat herself, Stanley quickly brought Tia out."
Alright, we're going now."
Soon, they arrived at the hospital and the doctor did a checkup on Tia.
"You should have brought her in earlier. If her fever wasn't treated, she would've developed pneumonia. How could
you be so careless as someone's boyfriend?" the doctor reprimanded."
"Doctor, he's not my boyfriend." Tia explained while shivering through the fever.
She did not even dare to look at Stanley.
"He's not?" The doctor shot him a glance. "He seems very worried though."
Tia became even more shy after that, and so, she shifted the topic of conversation, "I've taken the medication. I
guess I
should recover soon."
"You'll need to get a drip and stay here for further observation," the doctor disagreed, feeling a little annoyed.
Her situation was pretty dire and yet, she did not seem to care.
"Alright, we'll let her stay here then." Stanley replied.
The doctor then proceeded with the diagnosis. By the time Stanley had returned from the admissions counter, Tia
had been placed into the ward and was already strapped to an IV drip.
Looking at Tia who was lying down on the bed, Stanley got even more worried. "How do you feel now? Are you still
dizzy?"
"It's not that bad," Tia replied, her voice still a little hoarse.
"Drink some water." Stanley poured a glass of warm water for Tia.
"Thank you, sir," she said.
Then, Stanley replied in a gentle voice, "You're welcome. Don't worry too much about Grandma. I'll get someone to

"You've done a lot, Stanley. I really appreciate you." Tia was a little touched.
The one person she could not stop worrying about was Mrs. Wallace Sr., but as it turned out, Stanley had arranged
for someone to take care of her.
"Don't worry too much about it. Just get some rest," he assured, and walked over to the bedside, where he sat
down and accompanied Tia.
However, Tia proceeded to chase him away. "Sir, I can deal with this on my own. You should head to work."
"It's fine," he said.
Tia's situation was not stable yet, so he would not be at peace with the idea of leaving her alone in the hospital.
"I'm really fine by myself. There are nurses here too. If I need anything, the nurses will assist me. Don't delay any of
your work," Tia argued, feeling embarrassed.
She had troubled Stanley enough already, so she could not allow herself to disrupt his work schedule anymore.
"I don't have anything to do today." Stanley replied calmly.
He could determine what his workload was and how it was done, so her concerns were invalid in this regard.
Hearing this, Tia was rendered speechless; she did not know how to persuade Stanley to leave anymore.
