Chapter 706
He was worried, but he wasn't very good at taking care of patients either.
So he remembered Juanita.
In the past, Juanita often came to the police station for Karl, bringing her own bakery snacks, milk tea
and a lot of other things. There were many times when Karl was not in the station and he received her,
so he had Juanita's phone number.
He knew Juanita and Joyce were close friends, and after something like this, he thought she might be
able to persuade Karl.
By the way, she could also take care of Karl. Anyway, girls were certainly better than he was at
something like this. She was more careful and she could cook.
Juanita used the code given to her by Franklin, unlocked the door and entered Karl's home.
This was the first time she had been in the apartment of a man.
It was not quite like what she expected.
Karl's home was neat and clean just like what he usually was.
She could hardly find any extra items in his apartment. The décor used a lot of cool colors and looked
simple but elegant. The items were also neatly arranged.
After looking around, she gently pushed open the door of his bedroom.
In the middle of the room, there was a European-style bed and Karl was lying on the bed. He was
curled up and not covered with a quilt, and he seemed to be shivering all the time.
Juanita put down the thermos in her hand, which contained the porridge with vegetable and minced
meat that she had prepared.
She gently stepped forward and reached out to feel Karl's forehead.
God, it's hot.
With her experience, he must be having a fever now.
The fever must be reduced immediately.
The events of the past few days made her feel like she was in a dream.novelbin
She only learned about what happened when she saw the news.
Joyce was her best friend, and she fell off a cliff. No one could find her, and after so many days, they
could not even find her body.
For the first few days, her eyes were swollen from crying, and yet she was full of expectation and
anxiety, and then, she began to lose her faith and felt disappointed gradually. In the end, despair was
the only thing she could feel.
Every day was spent in torment.
The entire automotive project team was immersed in an atmosphere of grief, and none of them could
be in the mood to work.
They all watched the news broadcast every day and waiting for the headlines to get updated.
However, time and time again, all they could get was disappointment.
Gradually, everyone had given up hope, and they all understood that after all the days, it was simply
impossible for Joyce to survive from the vast sea.
Life must go on.
Gradually, there was a tacit agreement that no one would mention the name Joyce again.
During this time, she often ran to the Second Precinct.
She wanted to ask Karl for the latest progress.
But Karl never answered her phone or replied to her text messages.
The Second Precinct was even surrounded by a perimeter, with all external services suspended and no
outsiders allowed to enter.
She could only return in dismay each time.
It was until this evening when Franklin called her out of the blue.
She realized that Karl had actually been shot and was in a worrying physical condition.
Immediately, she made porridge and bought some necessities and quickly came to Karl's home to take
care of him.
She rummaged around in his house.
She found a box of common medicines, and found antipyretics, fever patches, alcohol gauze, and anti-
inflammatory antibiotics, etc.
She opened the refrigerator again and there wasn't any food in it, yet there was plenty of ice in the ice
maker.
It was enough since she was going to try to reduce his heat first.
If the temperature didn’t go down in the morning, she would have to take him to the hospital no matter
what.
