The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 343

“What?”

Catherine heard him loud and clear, but her answer came out sharp with disbelief. She was just his subordinate. No matter how much Lance worried, it wasn't like he needed to show up in person.

The consultation room door swung open. A group of doctors in white coats and masks stepped out together.

“Which one of you is Lance’s family?” a doctor asked.

Catherine had meant to stand up but sat right back down at the question.

Harrell pointed at her. “She is.”

“Me?” Catherine shot Harrell a look, then saw his finger aimed directly at her. Instinct took over and she stood, but she quickly corrected him. “I work for him. I’m not family.”

One of the doctors explained, “Lance has a bad case of acclimatization sickness. He’s dehydrated and has a fever. We’ve started him on medication, but it’ll take until at least tomorrow before there’s any improvement.” The fact that Lance was already on medicine after only two days in Eldervale said a lot about how rough he was having it.

“Make sure he drinks bottled water and sticks to easy-to-digest foods for all three meals. If all goes well, he should recover in about two weeks. And don’t let him skip his medication.” The doctor handed Catherine a paper filled with instructions about managing acclimatization sickness.

She glanced down at the sheet, trying to take it all in. The list of dos and don’ts looked endless. “If he heads back to Cabinda in a couple of days, can he stop the medicine then?”

The doctor nodded. “Once he’s back in Cabinda, he can stop taking it, but he still needs to be careful with food for a few days before things go back to normal.”

“Got it.” Catherine nodded. “Thank you, doctor.”

The doctors left, heading home for the night.
