HAN'S POV

I don't know how long i have been working in the bedroom when i heard Ann mumbling something in her sleep.

I watched her for a while.

I thought she was just talking while sleeping when i saw her lips twitched and suddenly her eyelids flutter.

And she was sweating profusely.

I felt alarmed when she frequently changed her emotions and tossed her body and turned.

I immediately walked on the bed and held her shoulder to stop her from tossing herself.

"Ann!" I shook her lightly trying to wake her up.

She's having a nightmare.

"NOOOOOO! STOP PLEASE... I BEG YOU STOP!" She screamed and jerked up.

"Ann... Please wake up, baby!" I shook her shoulder harder this time.

She was shivering and she was burning hot.

She stirred up and opened her eyes.

"Koch!" She mumbled shakily barely audible and hugged me tightly with her shaking body.

I rubbed her back in circles trying to comfort her.

"I'm here, baby. I will never leave you." I promised deeply.

She was still shaking and crying.

Whoever did this to her, i'll make sure he'll pay for what he did to her!

I pulled few inches away and cupped her face with my hands and kissed her eyes.

"You have a fever." I frantically laid her back on the bed and called Kate to get a doctor to check on her.

After some few more minutes my private doctor came in and i stood up from the bed to give her a space.

"She has a fever. Please check on her." I ordered frantically.

The doctor and my friend, Olivia smiled and nodded.

She took Ann's temperature and blood pressure.

And after like a decade, she stood up from the edge of the bed.

"She's just stressed and lack of sleep. I'll give her a tylenol to keep the fever down and give her a cold compress too." She smiled and i felt relieved.

I went outside of the bedroom and ordered Kate to bring some cold water and washcloth and went back inside.

I looked at Ann's pale face.

She's so vulnerable in her state.

My chest tightened seeing her like this.

I sat back on her side and brushed off the hair covering her cheeks.

Not long, Kate went inside with a small basin a white washcloth.

She then handed me the tylenol medicine.

I started wiping her face with the cold washcloth and her neck down to her arms.

She went back to sleep but i reluctantly carried her to sit.

"I need you to take this to keep your fever down, Ann." I uttered softly and she stirred and opened her eyes.

I popped the tylenol pill in her mouth and helped her drink the water.

Once she was settled, i helped her lay back on the bed.

I started unzipping her dress to change in a pajama.
