Chapter 204: Be Mentally Prepared
During that time, many companies suspended their cooperation with the actress.
Her TV series was taken off the air too.
Finally, the younger brother and sister of the actress came to her rescue.
They accused their parents of draining all her funds dry.The media then proved that the actress's mother had a gambling
problem and had lost all her savings.
After that, she had started harassing her daughter for money to keep on gambling.
The mother was annoyed when the actress refused.
Hence, she spread all those fake rumors.
The photos that showed the actress as a drug addict, were actually taken when she was sick.
The access was successful in proving her innocence.
However, her fame did not make a comeback.Wendy's lips tightened.Since the access was famous, her Company's PR
department was dynamic.
But in the end, her reputation was ruined beyond salvage.
Obviously, Ruben and Cacia took a page from that actress's parents' book and wanted to destroy Wendy in a somewhat similar
manner.
Wendy looked away.
"Wendy..."
"Did Carter contact you?"
Roger opened his mouth to say something, but he hesitated.
"Go ahead and tell me.Nothing can surprise me now."
Roger smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Carter called when I was on my way here.He asked you not to go to the studio for the time being."
Wendy nodded.
"Wendy..."
"Roger, for now, I'm only worried about Ray.I'll worry about my work later.So can we not talk about it now?"
"That's okay.I understand."
Wendy understood Carter's decision.He was a director and not a philanthropist.He was also under immense pressure.
He had to make sure that his TV series had the highest ratings.
That was why he couldn't afford to work with an actress who had so many scandals attached to her name.
Her scandals were spreading like wildfire.
If Carter continued to work with her, then it would only fuel people's anger.
And then they would boycott his show.
'Carter's decision came at the right time.Since Ray is critical, I won't be able to go to work.' Wendy tried to comfort herself.
This way, she wasn't forced to ask for leave.
Roger came out with the tray in his hands.
Ryan was upset when he saw the food was untouched.
"She said she had no appetite."
Ryan nodded slightly.
He cleared his throat and asked, "Is she fine?"
Roger shook his head tiredly.
"She looks like a patient herself."
Ryan's face grew grim.
"Ryan, what's going on? Ray had been fine for the past few months.How come he suddenly has a fever?"
'Past few months?' Ryan zeroed in on the keywords.
"You knew Ray has leukemia, right?"
Roger was stunned.
'He is so sharp!' Under Ryan's watchful gaze, Roger answered honestly, "Yes.I have always known about Ray's condition.I knew
about it from the time he was diagnosed.With the help of an acquaintance, I was able to obtain the medicine that Ray has been
taking."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Roger smiled bitterly.
"This is Wendy's decision.She wanted Ray to live a normal and happy life, just like other children."
Ryan pursed his lips and looked away.
"What happened to Ray? I don't think he has just a fever.When Wendy was taking his temperature, I saw that his body was
covered in bruises.But I didn't want to ask and upset Wendy more than she already was."
"It's good that you didn't ask."
Roger looked at him in confusion.
Ryan looked lonely as he stood silently.He briefly told Roger what had happened to Raymond.
The expression on Roger's face changed as he heard the entire story.
"You mean...your mother..."
"Yes!"
Roger suddenly thought of something and his face darkened.
Meanwhile, in Precious' bedroom, Leo took a look at the reading on the thermometer.
"Is her fever gone?" Josie asked.
Leo shook it before putting it back in the box.
He nodded and said, "Yes, her fever is gone."
Everyone in the room was relieved, especially Josie.She touched Precious' forehead and found that it was no longer hot.She
breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank God, her fever is gone.God bless her!"
In the past, Precious would always get these fevers.
But as long as the fever was gone, she used to be fine.
"Leo, when will she wake up?"
"She is in deep steep right now.She should be awake by tomorrow morning."
"God bless her!"
Josie tucked Precious in and checked the time.
It was past three in the morning.
One after another, the servants started to yawn.
"Leo, we are fortunate that you were able to come here today.It's very late.I'll ask someone to get a guest room ready.You can
rest here tonight."
Leo was indeed very tired and sleepy.
He yawned and started to put everything back into his medical box.
He waved at Josie and said, "Don't bother.I have to see how Ray is doing."
"Is he fine?" Josie asked.
"The fever is not gone yet."
Josie bit her lip and asked, "Will he really be in danger?"
Leo said seriously, "Yes!"
Blood drained from Josie's face and she began to fidget.
At three in the morning, Raymond's temperature had dropped.
However, half an hour later, his temperature increased again.
This time, the fever came back in full force.
In less than ten minutes, his temperature had risen to 40 degrees Celsius.
Wendy hurried to the door, half stumbling, half running, and opened it.
Outside the room, Ryan rushed to her as he saw the panic on her face.
"What happened?"
Regardless of her hatred towards Ryan, Wendy held his hand and trembled, "Ray! Ray's fever is back.40 degrees Celsius!"
Ryan's face paled, and he turned towards the living room and yelled with all his might, "Leo!"
In the living room, Leo had just closed his eyes for less than five minutes.
When he heard Ryan yell, he awoke with a start and almost fell off the sofa.
He quickly steadied himself and rushed towards Ryan's bedroom.
"What happened?"
"Ray's temperature has risen to 40 degrees Celsius!"
Leo hurried into the bedroom.
Wendy and Ryan immediately followed him.
In the bedroom, Raymond was lying restlessly in the bed.
His pale face was now flushed, and his body was trembling.His eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.He was moving uncomfortably
from side to side.He was also delirious.
It was because of his high fever.
Leo stretched out his hand and touched his forehead.
Raymond's forehead was hot! "Leo, what should we do now?"
With a serious look, Leo ordered, "We have to get him to the hospital now!"
Roger threw one look at them and said, "Pack up! I'll get the car!"
And he proceeded to run out of the room.
Wendy's legs went limp.She held the door frame to steady herself.She looked at Leo with tears in her eyes.
"Leo, you said that as long as his fever was gone, Ray would be fine.What went wrong? Will he be saved?" Leo looked at Ryan
subconsciously.
"Don't look at him.I want to know the truth!" Leo hesitated but then decided to tell the truth.
"Wendy, I think you should be mentally prepared."
