Chapter 961 Loyal Dog (Part Two)

Eagerly, she pressed the button to accept the call and was greeted by Terence's anxious voice.

"…… Carla?"

Hearing his warm, familiar voice overwhelmed Carla and she had to fight the impulse to cry. The combination of her emotions and her weakened state made her feel like crying in his arms until she felt better.

Perhaps it was because she was used to having him by her side whenever she fell ill. She had allowed herself to become accustomed to relying on him, and now that they were miles apart, she felt as though a part of her was missing.

"Yes, I'm here,"

She answered, after taking a deep breath to calm down the wave of emotions.

"How are you feeling? Why is your body temperature so high? Are you sick?" Even through the tiny speakers of the smart watch, Terence's voice still sounded so familiar and full of concern.

She had forgotten that the gadget also monitored her physical condition and sent updates directly to Terence's phone. It must have alerted him when her temperature had spiked higher than normal.

"I'm fine, just having a little cold. I took some medicine just now and covered myself in a quilt so I can sweat it out. That's probably why my body temperature is higher than normal," she reassured him, though she couldn't help her voice from quivering slightly.

"Are you feeling better? Should I come over now to see you for a while?" It made Terence's heart ache to hear her weak voice and he hated that he couldn't be there taking care of her.

Carla took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Don't worry about me dear, it's just a cold. Anyway, I'm at Grandpa's place, I'll be fine. I just need to take a few more rounds of medicine and I shoul

be here soon."

Carla reached up to wipe the sweat off her cool forehead and took a deep breath in an attempt to slow down her racing heart. Then she asked him, "Where's my grandpa?"

"He went out for a while, but he told me to take care of you while he's gone,"

Steven answered as he walked to the table to pour a glass of water for her.

Just then, there was a commotion outside the door. They heard Carol's voice saying, "Miss Lucia, you can't go in there!"

"Get out of my way! Wang Village is a part of Yu Sea City and I'm in charge here. You can't tell me where I can and can't go,"

Lucia responded scornfully.

"If you want to enter, you'll have to go through me first!"

Carol said insistently as she planted herself in front of the door.

"Awww, what a loyal dog!

Do you really think you can stop me? Carlota, give this dog a taste of Yu Sea City whips. I want her to know how we discipline disobedient dogs here!"

Lucia sneered and waved her hand to call Carlota over.

Lucia thought Carol was a nobody, and wasn't worthy of being disciplined by her own hands. So she let someone else do it.
