LUCA'S POV:

I opened the door, only to be shocked. There she was, lying on the sofa. It wasn't the sight of her that shocked me, but the fact that she was shivering. The room felt so cold it seemed as if the temperature was in the minus range. I immediately grew worried. We both rushed inside and Matt turned off the AC. I quickly removed my jacket and covered her with it. What shocked me further was that she wasn't wearing her jacket. Without thinking, I wrapped her in mine and, picking her up in my arms, carried her towards Matt's room, which was on the upper floor. Matt quickly opened the door, and I gently laid her on the bed.

She was shivering uncontrollably. I covered her with the duvet and turned on the heater. Matt had already ordered a few more heaters. I checked her temperature and everything else. After that I immediately informed Andre about her condition. He told me to take her home as soon as possible. We left Matt's room and, within an hour, we were in her room. She was still unconscious. I knew Dad and Andre would be furious with me and Matt for not taking care of her properly. I was angry at myself as well for not looking out for my baby.

ANDREANO'S POV:

I was in the middle of a meeting when I received multiple calls from Luc. I didn't answer immediately, but when I saw his one message, it shook me to the core. My Bella the bear, wasn't well. I immediately called him and asked about her. He explained that she had slept in a very cold room, and this had never happened before. Why did this happen to my baby?

I told him to take her home right away and quickly informed Dad. I left the meeting halfway, telling them it was an emergency. They didn't object because they knew how much my anger could escalate. I drove back home with Dad, reaching in 60 minutes. We made our way directly to her room. I saw Luc checking her temperature while Matt was rubbing her feet. I rushed towards her, taking her hand in mine. She was still shivering, and her hands were freezing cold. I rubbed them gently.

"Matt, Luc, how could you both be this careless?" I asked them, my tone sharp.

Matt said, "Andre, I was in a meeting. I left her in my cabin, and she was fine on that time. She was reading a book, I don't know how it happened so suddenly."

Luc explained, "I just arrived. I was stuck in surgery, then in traffic. But I'll make sure to take better care of her from now on. Please forgive me."

"This is the last time I'm leaving you both. This cannot happen again." I warned in a strict tone.

"We're sorry." They both apologized.

We all stayed by her side for the next three hours. She remained unconscious, even though her shivering had stopped an hour ago. I was very worried about her. I thought we would tell her about our extended family today, but now her condition was worse than before. Was it the stress that made her fall ill? Maybe, or maybe not. I didn't know. What I did know was that I was scared. After an hour, she stirred in her sleep and tried to open her eyes. I immediately hugged her, at first, she didn't respond, but then slowly, she wrapped her arms around me.

ISABELLA'S POV:

I woke up feeling cold, not knowing where I was. I tried to open my eyes, and after several attempts, I finally managed to open them with great effort. Suddenly, someone hugged me. I didn't see who it was at first, but soon then the perfume reached me, and I recognized that it was my brother, Andee. I hugged him back. We pulled apart after a moment. I looked around and saw that everyone was present. Worry was written all over their faces. I turned to my left and saw my papa. I immediately hugged him.
