Chapter 54

• The constant sweat dripping down her forehead made Victoria feel like she was in an oven. The intermittent fevers had already weakened her, and even with one of the maids helping her during the day, the symptoms weren't improving.
• Luckily for her, the woman named Filipa didn't mind showing that she was probably a very dedicated mother.
• She was the only one who cared to visit Victoria during the night, and even while she slept, Filipa checked her fever, with the palms of her hands touching the younger woman's exposed forehead. She brought basins of cold water and ordered the redhead to continue applying cold compresses to lower her temperature, and she regularly administered the medications she managed to find to help her.
