Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart novel Chapter 84

They went upstairs and came into Jane's room.

Jane tucked William in, who was frowning and seemed to be uncomfortable.

His temperature was over 39 degrees Celsius.

"What can we do?"

William had a high fever and fell asleep. It was inhumane to ask him to get up to work.

"William didn't sleep last night. Now he caught a high fever!"

Lainey asked, "Has William worked overtime again?"

"At the end of the year, we have to make an annual statement on the company's accounts. Besides, we have so many affiliated companies. William has been busy auditing the accounts. He often works overtime until dawn"

William was such a workaholic. As his special assistant, Frederic also had no time to rest.

William had been often working overtime recently, to spare time for his family on New Year's Day.

William never told Jane these things. But he was really busy and had no time.

"I didn't know that."

Jane was frustrated. She had planned to take their son to the amusement park on New Year's Day. Then they would have dinner with Colin.

As president of the Duncan Group, William was too busy to take a rest. No one would believe this. He almost put his health at risk.

"Madam, what should we do?"

Frederic was at loss. Although William had said that Frederic could handle daily affairs on his behalf, the general meeting of shareholders was not within this scope.

"Let him take a rest. If he continues to work overtime, he would break down even before the Duncan Group goes bankrupt."

He had so many assistants and secretaries, who could help deal with various daily affairs. William didn't need to take charge of all things personally.

Those employees must be incompetent at all.

Frederic was nervous.

Was Jane blaming him?

Frederic wanted to cry. He was so busy that he broke up with his girlfriend again.

If he got married one day, his wife might be called "working".

"His physical health was threatened. We don't want to have another patient besides Master."

Jane looked at the time. Considering that William had to take a rest after receiving an injection, she suggested, "How about postponing the meeting until this afternoon?"

"It's too late to do so."

Frederic was very anxious. The reason why he came here hurriedly was just that it couldn't be delayed.

The shareholders had other appointments in the afternoon.

William, as president, couldn't be absent.

"So, what should we do? To move him to the conference room by stretcher?"

This might make those who didn't know the truth doubt that William was dying.

Jane objected to it, which would even worsen his sickness.

William didn't even have a day off throughout the year. His life was bitterer than an ordinary man's.

"Madam, he must attend it."

Frederic looked at the time again. It was too late. He suddenly said, "How about you attending the meeting?"

"I can't make it!"

Jane shook her head and refused, "I don't know how to do at all."

"Except you, no one is qualified to represent William."

Colin was unconscious, and William had a high fever. Only Jane could attend the meeting. If she didn't do so, all thing would go wrong.

"Madam, it is in a mess now. Why not attend the meeting?"

Lainey persuaded Jane that she must attend it for the sake of the Duncans, and she could just view it as a banquet.
