Chapter 594:
After the call, Rupert leaned over and gathered Annabel into his arms. Concern filled his eyes as he spoke softly, “It’s okay, Annabel. The doctor will be here soon p>
Annabel was burning up, so she pressed her hot body against Rupert’s cool chest. She subconsciously rubbed against him, seeking relief.
Her unconscious movements sent tingles through him, making his breath quicken. Even in her weakened state, she effortlessly stirred his desire.
Rupert inhaled deeply, forcing himself to stay composed. He carried her into the room and gently laid her on the large bed.
“I feel terrible… It’s so hot…” Annabel murmured in a daze. Her body felt as if it were burning and itching everywhere, as though she were being roasted alive. Instinctively, she reached up to scratch her face.
But Rupert caught her hand, stopping her. “Don’t do that. You’ll leave scars p>
“But it’s so itchy…” Annabel whispered, her lips pressed together, looking aggrieved.
It was the first time Rupert had seen her in such a pitiful state, and his heart softened.
He gently stroked her cheek and said, “Annabel, just hold on a little longer. The doctor will be here soon p>
Tristan arrived quickly. He was slightly surprised to see Rupert holding Annabel so tightly, looking extremely anxious.
Whenever Rupert called him in a hurry, it always seemed to be because of Annabel.
She clearly held a special place in Rupert’s heart. He must care for her deeply to be so worried.
“Mr. Benton, what’s wrong with Miss Hewitt?” Tristan asked as he approached.
“Check her. She’s having an allergic reaction.” Rupert looked up at him anxiously.
Tristan examined her and immediately noticed the multiple patches of rashes on her skin. Frowning, he said, “She does have a severe allergy. How did it happen p>

“She’s allergic to platinum. She must have been exposed to it accidentally. Treat her as soon as possible,” Rupert said coldly, his voice tight as he looked at Annabel’s pained expression. Seeing her like this made his heart clench.
“Got it.” Tristan nodded. He took out anti-allergy medication from his medical kit, prepared the injection, and said, “I’ll give her an injection to fight the reaction first p>
He leaned over and injected Annabel’s arm.
Feeling the sting of the needle, Annabel frowned and instinctively tried to pull back. Rupert quickly held her arm steady and soothed her gently, “Hold on for just a moment. You’ll feel better after this p>
“Alright p>
After administering the injection, Tristan took out a bottle from his bag and handed it to Rupert. “This is oral anti-allergy medicine. She needs to take it three times a day, three pills each time p>
Rupert took the bottle and examined the label. “Will it work p>
“You do trust my medical expertise, don’t you?” Tristan asked with a helpless shrug.
Rupert’s feelings for Annabel clouded his usually sharp judgment. Even the aloof and powerful Mr. Benton seemed lost when the woman he cared about was sick.
