Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 18

When the black car stopped, Filip opened his eyes slowly.

There was coldness in his eyes. Austin looked back at him, "Mr. Pearson, here we are."

"Find out who Starry went to see today."

Austin was stunned for a while and then realized what had happened. He nodded, "Okay, Mr. Pearson."

Filip didn't say anything more. He opened the door and got out of the car.

On the other side, Starry was obviously in a bad mood tonight, and Izabella didn't say anything.

After dinner, Izabella sent Starry to the gate of the villa.

Looking at the villa, Izabella couldn't help but recall the rumors a few days ago.

Izabella turned her head to look at Starry and wanted to know the relationship between Starry and Edward, but finally she held back her curiosity, "Starry, here we are."

Starry nodded and unfastened her seat belt. "Thank you, Izabella."

"It doesn't matter."

Starry looked at her and smiled, "I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"Okay."

Izabella watched Starry get out of the car with an umbrella. Under the dim streetlamp, Starry stood at the gate of the villa, waiting for the door to slowly rise.

Seeing the door open, Izabella intended to drive away.

However, when she was about to step on the gas, Starry, who was holding an umbrella, suddenly staggered.

It occurred to Izabella that back in the restaurant, she had touched Starry's forehead and it felt hot. She quickly opened the door and got out of the car. "Little Starry?"

"I'm fine."

Izabella didn't believe it and touched Starry's forehead again.

This time, the temperature was obviously hotter than that an hour ago.

Izabella's face changed. She held Starry's arm, "Little Starry, you have a high fever. Let me take you to the hospital."

Starry frowned slightly, "I'm fine, Izabella. You can go…"

Before Starry could finish her words, her vision suddenly blurred. She loosened her grip on the umbrella and fell into Izabella's arms.

Izabella screamed in shock. Gritting her teeth, she helped Starry get into the car.

She checked Starry's breath and found that Starry was fine. Then Izabella was a little relieved.

She closed the door, got out of the car and picked up the umbrella. Then she quickly walked back to the driver's seat and drove to the hospital.

Obviously, Starry was having a fever. She was mumbling in her coma while Izabella was driving. Izabella didn't hear what Starry said clearly.

When the traffic light turned red, Izabella stopped the car and turned to look at Starry.

Dressed in black, Starry's face was as pale as the white sheet, and her usually ruddy lips were covered with cream white.

Her lips moved slightly, and she was saying something.

Driven by curiosity, Izabella lowered her head down and approached near Starry's lips.

In the quiet car, Izabella clearly heard Starry calling a person's name, "Sebastian, don't leave me behind."

Izabella was surprised. She thought Starry was calling Filip.

She raised her head in a hurry. A teardrop on Starry's pale face was reflecting the light.

Looking at it, Izabella felt inexplicably sad.

She carefully took a piece of tissue and wiped Starry's tears.

As soon as she wiped Starry's tears, she heard Starry calling the name again.

Sebastian.

Izabella had never heard of this name from Starry's mouth. Who was Sebastian?

The traffic light in front of them turned green. Izabella touched Starry's face again. It was burning hot. This startled Izabella and she had no time to wonder who Sebastian was for now.

Izabella immediately restarted the car and drove to the hospital. Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the gate of the hospital. Starry regained some consciousness and entered the hospital with the help of others.

After taking Starry's temperature, Izabella felt lucky that she had a look to Starry before she drove away.

Starry had a high fever of thirty-nine degree Celsius, and she was still a little dehydrated. If she was left alone at home, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Starry woke up for a while and fell asleep soon after the infusion.

At this time, there were many people in the hospital bed, and the surroundings were noisy. It was not until eleven o'clock in the evening that the number of people in the drip room decreased a lot and the room gradually became quiet.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the intravenous drip was done. Starry's fever hadn't completely gone yet.

Starry was sleeping soundly. Looking at his pale and delicate face, Izabella didn't have the heart to wake Starry up.

When the phone rang, Izabella was afraid of waking up Starry, so she went out of the corridor to answer the phone call from Dillon.

"Brother?"

"Didn't you say you were going to pick up Starry? Why haven't you come home yet?"

After all, they were two girls. And she hadn't come back home yet, Dillon was still worried about Izabella.

There was no one in the hospital now. The corridor was long and deep. Izabella had to lower her voice. "Yes, Little Starry has a fever. I'm in the hospital."

"Is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing."

Izabella hesitated for a moment, "Brother, have you heard of Sebastian?"

"I've never heard of this person. What? You like Sebastian?"

"No, I don't know him."

"Oh, will you come home tonight?"

"No."

She didn't want to leave Starry alone at home.

"Okay then, you take care of Starry."

Izabella hung up the phone and went back to the ward. Starry had already woken up.

After a deep sleep, Starry felt less headache and less uncomfortable.

She realized that she was in the hospital and gradually remembered what happened before she fell asleep.

At this time, Izabella came over, "Little Starry, are you awake?"

Starry nodded, "I'm sorry. It's so late. And you have to come to the hospital with me."

"What are you talking about? We're friends. Don't be so courteous with me," Izabella complained.

Starry smiled. Izabella looked at her and swallowed.

A good-looking person would always be charming even if she was sick.

"I'm much better. Can I go back now?"

Starry didn't like hospitals.

"Okay, the shoes are here."

Starry looked down, "Thank you."

"Are you feeling ill?"

Izabella was frightened. She was afraid that Starry would faint again, so she didn't dare to let her go.

Starry smiled weakly, "I'm fine."

The snow was still falling, and the wind blowing sharply.

Fortunately, the car was parked near the gate of the hospital. The two of them quickly walked to the car and got on it.

It was already one o'clock in the morning when they returned to Starry's villa. Starry brought some clothes for Izabella to change. "Edward has stayed in the left room before. You can sleep in another room."

Starry's confession made Izabella stunned. "Okay, you can go to bed now. Don't worry about me."

Starry nodded and went back to her room.
