Chapter 677
Just then, Joe’s phone rang out with Paul’s voice. He said, “Mr. Martin.”
“Take Dr. Grey to see Jenny. She’s got a fever,” Joe instructed.
“Alright, Mr. Martin.”
After hanging up, Joe continued tidying up.
Skylar couldn’t get a read on Joe’s intentions. He seemed to be keeping his distance from Jenny. Was he worried that she minded?
After Jenny ended the call, she excitedly anticipated Joe’s arrival.
“At the end of the day, Joe still cares about me. He hurried over right after my phone call. He definitely wants me to be safe.”
Jenny hadn’t thought she would have a fever.
It was probably because she’d gone to Rowan’s house last night. Seeing Minerva had hurt her. Moreover, Joe and Gloria’s ignorance of her in the hospital had dealt her a huge blow. She couldn’t stand it, which was why she’d fallen sick.
Her phone call was merely a test. She’d prepared herself for the possibility that Joe wouldn’t show up. Jenny wasn’t expecting Joe to hurry over immediately.
She did have a high fever and was feeling quite weak. However, she still stumbled into the washroom to check how she looked in
the mirror.
The woman in the mirror was extremely pale. She looked visibly

frail and was the very picture of a sick person. Yet, her eyes glinted with anticipation..
As long as Joe hadn’t decided to distance himself from her, she had the whole world in her hands.
As to Rowan…
That was a problem for the future.
At the thought of him, she took a selfie with the thermometer and posted it on Instagram.
While waiting for Joe’s arrival, she looked at the slew of comments . and messages asking about her health. Some were her friends, others were colleagues. Even some of her colleagues, which she’d known for barely two days, showed their concern. Yet, Rowan was
missing.
In the past, he would be the first to enquire after her whenever she got sick. He would also be the first to visit her.
Jenny glanced at the time. It wasn’t even eight yet. Were Rowan and Minerva still asleep at this hour?
Jenny felt uncomfortable when she thought of Rowan’s
relationship with Minerva. Wasn’t their relationship developing a little too fast?
As she was lost in thought, the doorbell rang.
She immediately came to and lugged her sick body toward the door. Anticipation and excitement brewed within her.
Her eyes brimmed with tears even before she opened the door.
However, the second she opened the door, she saw Paul and Howard standing outside. Her tears froze,

Paul wasn’t surprised to see her face fall. He knew Jenny wanted to see Joe.
Howard and Jenny had known each other for a long time. They weren’t strangers. He asked, “How are you feeling now? Did you take your temperature again?”
Jenny regained her composure after being disoriented. She asked, ” Where’s Joe? Did he not come?”
Hadn’t Joe asked her to wait?
Howard glanced at Paul in surprise. He’d thought that Jenny harbored some absurd feelings for Joe. This was visibly weird.
Paul could tell. He said, “Mr. Martin is extremely busy. He couldn’t come in time. Let Dr. Grey take a look at you. If your condition is worse than expected, you’ll need to go to the hospital.”
Jenny shrunk. She stuttered, “I… Alright.”
Did Joe not care about her? She had a 102–degree fever. Wasn’t that enough?
