The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 155

The drizzle was scattered across the sky, adding an extra chill to the gloomy autumn weather.

Chloe gently shook Alexander, noticing the scattered documents around him.

She took a peek, and the sight of the divorce papers shocked her.

That explained a lot.

No wonder Mr. Alexander fainted there.

It turned out that he was sick and had also experienced a change in his marriage.

His illness might have a lot to do with the changes in his marriage.

It showed how much Mr. Alexander valued his marriage before the divorce.

If he didn't care, he wouldn't be that upset.

What a poor guy.

Chloe felt pity for him.

Even though she used her umbrella to cover Alexander, she still felt his clothes damp.

No matter how she pulled, she couldn't lift him up.

Even though he was thin, he was still an adult man. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get him

up from the ground.

He was so heavy!

"Mr. Alexander, wake up!"

"Mr. Alexander, you can't lie on the ground."

When Chloe was worried, she touched Alexander's forehead.

His forehead was burning.

He was running a high fever.

Chloe, who had been taking care of her two children for years, knew what a person with a high fever

looked like.

According to her experience, Mr. Alexander had no other issues, just a cold and a fever.

He had fainted because of the fever.

Chloe quickly asked for help from passersby and lifted Alexander to the back seat of the Porsche.

Alexander was tall, and his legs were long.

Lying down in the back seat like this, a big part of his legs were hanging outside the car door.

Chloe tried hard, but she couldn't get this long leg back into the car.

"Mr. Alexander, I'm taking you to the hospital now. Please draw your legs in."

Chloe was leaning on the back seat, most of her body exposed outside the car door.

The rain hit her, and her clothes were quickly soaked.

She didn't care about getting wet in the rain. She just wanted to get Mr. Alexander to the nearest

hospital as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, if he continued to be sick like that, it would harm his body, despite being an adult man.

So she stroked Alexander's forehead, as if comforting him and as if coaxing him.

"Mr. Alexander, be good."

"Be obedient. Draw your legs in. Curl up a bit."

"I'm taking you to the doctor."

"Good boy."

Even though Alexander had fainted, he vaguely felt someone calling him, a gentle force stroking his

forehead.

It felt as if an angel's hand was touching him at the brink of life and death.

Being obedient, he curled his long legs into the car.

Chloe sighed with relief, and then gently and patiently stroked his forehead again, "Mr. Alexander, be

good. Lie still. I'll take you to the hospital right away."

Colds and fevers can be mild or severe. If the high fever does not subside for a long time, it can be life-

threatening. On the other hand, as long as the fever is brought down in time, there should be no major

problem.

Chloe initially intended to take Alexander to a big hospital, but she was afraid of wasting time queueing

in the big hospital.

If that was the case, it might delay the treatment.

Chloe took Alexander to a small clinic near the company.

The doctor at the small clinic was quite familiar with Chloe.

Since whenever her two children got sick, they usually received treatment there.

The doctor examined Alexander and confirmed that he had a cold and a fever.

After the doctor took his temperature, it was found that he was indeed running a high fever.

That was why he had fainted.

The clinic's doctor suggested, "Perhaps we can give him an IV drip, which would bring down the fever

faster."

"What kind of medicine would you use?" Chloe needed to be clear.

The doctor said, "Intravenous aspirin."

Chloe was familiar with that medicine.

It had the same effect as oral ibuprofen and paracetamol.

However, IV drips to bring down a fever could potentially cause dependency and weren't great for the

body.

That was far less than oral fever reducers.

Looking at Alexander, who was lying unconscious on the bed, Chloe frowned.

It might be because Alexander had helped her in the past.

She was always grateful to him.

She sincerely cared for his health.

So, she said, "Let's just take the fever reducer."

The doctor frowned and said, "If he could take the medicine himself, that would be great. But since he's

unconscious, he can’t do that. Unless you feed him with your mouth."

There was no way she could feed him with her mouth.

She wouldn't take advantage of Mr. Alexander while he was unconscious.

She wouldn't dare take advantage of such a charming man.

She thought for a moment and said, "I'll try to see if I can wake him up."

The doctor went to get the medicine.

Chloe shook Alexander a few times, but he didn't respond.

She tried touching his forehead again.

Talking as she touched.

"Mr. Alexander, wake up, take the medicine, and then sleep, Okay?"

"Good boy, open your eyes, take the medicine, and the fever will go down."

"Good boy, open your mouth."

Her hands weren't exactly delicate.

She often did housework and took care of her children.

Dish-washing and washing her children's clothes made her hands become a bit rough.

In his haze, Alexander felt someone touching his forehead.

And that hand was warm.

He ignored the roughness of her hand and instead felt a gentle force.

He obediently opened his mouth.

Chloe immediately propped up his upper body, letting him hold the fever reducer.

That was ibuprofen, which could reduce fever within half an hour after taking it.

When the doctor brought the medicine, Chloe carefully checked it.

When Alexander held the medicine, she passed the warm water to his mouth.

And then she said, "Good boy, drink some water and swallow the medicine."

Alexander took a sip of water and swallowed the ibuprofen.

Chloe let him lie back down, thanked the doctor, and sat by the bed, always by his side. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

The beds in the small clinic were one after another, separated only by a curtain.

In order for Alexander to rest well, Chloe pulled up all the curtains.

Although the noise from next door could still be heard, it was much better.

She set her phone to silent, then borrowed a hairdryer from the clinic, used the hot air to dry

Alexander's hair, helped him take off his jacket, and covered him with a blanket.

Then she waited.

Alexander was the kind of guy who seemed strong and manly.

He may not have been a super hunk, but he had something about him that left most men in the dust.

His macho vibe went perfectly with his buzz cut.

Even when he was sick and looking like hell, there was still a strong aura of resilience about him.

After a few encounters, Chloe discovered that this tough guy also had a tender side.

He had mad respect for women.

And his wife? He adored the heck out of her.

But couldn't Hazel ever be satisfied?

How could anyone hurt such a good man?

Chloe had been through the wringer with her own marriage.

She knew what it was like to give one’s heart to someone, only to be betrayed and hurt. It was a pain

no one should have to bear.

So, seeing Alexander on the floor after he got his divorce papers, It was heart-wrenching.

Poor guy!

If he was hers, she would treasure him and be loyal to him for life.

But Chloe knew her place.

She was just an average woman from the lower rungs of society.

Not to mention, she was a divorced mom with two kids.

Even if she were still single, she was not in the same league as Mr. Alexander, the kind of man who

had it all—status, wealth, power and looks.

She was not delusional enough to think she could snag a man like that.

She knew it was impossible for her to be with a man like him.

The only reason she helped him was out of gratitude.

About half an hour later, Roxanne was worried about why Chloe was taking so long. So, she called her.

To avoid disturbing Alexander, Chloe stepped outside to take the call.

"Chloe, why haven't you come back yet? Is there a long line to update your identification or

something?"

Chloe replied, "No, I haven't even gone to update my status yet."

Roxanne asked, "Are you okay? Stuck in traffic or something?"

Chloe explained, "No, I was about to go in, but then I ran into Mr. Alexander. He just divorced Hazel

and fainted outside my car. I took him to the clinic."

Roxanne asked in surprise, "What? They're divorced?"

Chloe sighed, "Yeah, it's a shame. Hazel had the nerve to hurt such a good man. But it's probably for

the best. Mr. Alexander deserves a better woman."

Roxanne asked, "Just happened to faint outside your car, huh? You two really have some kind of fate."

Chloe replied, "I'm just glad I was there."

She suddenly sneezed.

Roxanne asked in concern, "Chloe, you didn't catch a cold too, did you?"

Chloe replied, "Maybe because I got caught in the rain. Don't worry. Once Mr. Alexander wakes up, I'll

take him home and then go back to the office. If it's too late, I'll just go home. I'll deal with the bank stuff

after I update my identification tomorrow."

Roxanne comforted her, "Take your time. Take good care of Mr. Alexander."

Roxanne hung up, finding the situation somewhat amusing.

Chloe and Mr. Alexander really had some kind of fate.

Fainting in front of anyone else's car wouldn't have done it. It had to be Chloe's.

If that was not fate, what was?

In the clinic, Chloe called Amelia and asked her to prepare some soup.

Amelia was surprised when she heard that Chloe had helped Alexander.

Chloe briefly explained why Alexander had fainted outside her car.

Upon hearing the news, Amelia was shocked, "What? They're divorced? That's so sudden. How come I

didn't hear anything about it?"

"What?" Chloe was confused by Amelia's reaction, "Amelia, what are you talking about?"

Amelia was a nanny for Vincent’s family.

So, of course, she knew who Alexander was.

Amelia quickly explained, "Oh, nothing. I just thought that a public figure like Alexander getting divorced

would be on the news, but I haven't seen anything."

Chloe sighed, "Public figures probably want to avoid too much public attention. After all, divorce isn't

something to brag about."

Amelia agreed, "You're right, being betrayed is definitely not a good thing."

In Amelia's memory, Alexander had always adored his wife.

How could he possibly be betrayed?

Hazel was a woman whose outer appearance did not match her inner self.

Two hours later, Alexander finally woke up.

The blue curtains around him blocked his view.

He could faintly hear people talking outside and the sound of a TV.

It was a bit noisy.

The environment seemed like a hospital, but not quite.

He looked around and saw a woman lying by the bed.

He could not see her face clearly.

Did she save him?

He felt colder and dizzier, and then he fell to the ground.

He vaguely remembered a woman's voice calling him, as gentle as an angel's.

He struggled to sit up.

That startled Chloe, who was sleeping by the bed.

Chloe's just-awake eyes met Alexander's surprised gaze.

"You're awake?"

"Did you save me?"

Chloe straightened up, becoming more alert. "I was about to update my identification when I saw you

faint outside my car, so I brought you to the clinic. How are you feeling now? Do you still feel

uncomfortable?"

She felt somewhat awkward touching him again.

"I've cooled down." Alexander said gratefully, "Thank you, Chloe."

"Oh, it's nothing." Chloe smiled, "After all, you helped me before."

Chloe took the divorce papers she found on the ground out of her bag and handed them to Alexander,

"This. You dropped it on the ground."

Taking it from her, Alexander gave a bitter smile, "I'm sorry you had to see me like this."

Chloe wanted to tell him that she saw Hazel on a date with another man at the hotel.

She wanted to tell him that his wife wasn't worth it.

But considering they were already divorced, she decided not to hurt him any further.

She reassured him, "Everything will be alright."

Honestly, she and Alexander were in the same boat then.

Both had been deeply hurt by their own spouses.

So, she could totally relate to how he was feeling then.

She didn't want him to feel down, so she comforted him again,

"Alexander, really, everything will be alright. Didn't you comfort me the same way before? Look at me

now. I'm much better after I left that jerk."

Alexander said gratefully, "Thank you!"

After saying that, he tried to get out of bed but was stopped by Chloe, "Alexander, you better not move.

You're still weak."

"I'm fine now." Alexander insisted and got out of bed.

Seeing Alexander struggling to stand, Chloe handed him his coat and said, "Mr. Alexander, put on your

coat so you don't catch a cold. Your coat was wet, but I've dried it with a hairdryer."

Her attention to detail was truly touching.

Alexander thanked her and was putting on his coat when Amelia walked over with two kids.

Considering Harrison's identity hadn't been disclosed, Amelia and Alexander pretended to be strangers

when they met.

Chloe said to Alexander, "I had my nanny make some soup. It's about time for dinner. You have some

first; and then I'll drive you home."

Amelia also felt sorry for him, "Yes, Mr. Alexander, have some soup before you go."

Alexander took the soup, but he didn't drink it.

He looked at Austin in Chloe's arms and Aria standing beside her.

Apparently, Chloe had a son and a daughter. Her family looked perfect.

That was a great blessing.

However, Alexander knew how hard Chloe's life had been after her divorce, without any financial

support, and having to raise two kids.

Chloe let Austin and Aria both say hello to Alexander.

Aria was in elementary school, and her voice was sweet.

Austin was also super cute.

Alexander responded with a smile.

That reminded him of his own marriage.

He always wanted to have children with Hazel, preferably a son and a daughter.

But that wish didn't come true.

They were divorced.

Looking at Austin, he felt empty inside but still kept his smile, "Your kids are adorable."

Alexander was busy with work. Still, he really wanted to have such lovely children. But Hazel never

wanted to have kids.

He suddenly envied Chloe. Even though her marriage failed too, she at least had two children.

And him?

He had nothing.

He realized how tough Chloe's life was and admired her courage.

After her divorce, she didn't want anything but her kids. She bore all the difficulties alone yet raised the

kids well.

If he could have such a wonderful wife, that would be awesome!
