No wonder he hasn&#8217;t woken up after so long.<\/p>\n<p>I hurriedly go downstairs to fetch a fever cooling pad for Earl. Then I pick him up, feed him medicine and then closely keep an eye on him.<\/p>\n<p>When the sky darkens, Frances returns and directly enters my room.<\/p>\n<p>It is the first time he has come into my bedroom since he left that day.<\/p>\n<p>I feel worse at ease than I was at the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What are you doing in my room?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What do you follow me to the hotel for?&#8221; Instead of answering me, Frances asks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t. I just happen to see you, okay?&#8221; I explain.<\/p>\n<p>How narcissistic Frances is! How can he be so confident that I follow him here?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You see me, and then you misunderstand that I&#8217;m messing with another woman. So, you go up.&#8221; Frances looks at me with a smug expression.<\/p>\n<p>There seems to be a faint smile on his face.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t flatter yourself. I know Elin is your sister,&#8221; I say unhappily.<\/p>\n<p>However, I do feel a little jealousy before I remember Elin is his sister.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How do you know it?&#8221; Frances asks me in surprise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whitney told me.&#8221; I make a simple reply.<\/p>\n<p>I really don&#8217;t want to talk about Whitney anymore.<\/p>\n<p>I harbor more hatred towards Whitney than others, except Frances.<\/p>\n<p>Frances does not say anything else. Only then does he focus his attention on Earl.<\/p>\n<p>When he sees Earl, he frowns and asks, &#8220;What is wrong with Earl? Does he have a fever?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I also shift my gaze to Earl. I feel extremely sorry for Earl for he looks so terrible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do we need to send him to the hospital?&#8221; Frances asks worriedly.<\/p>\n<p>I shake my head. &#8220;There&#8217;s no rush. I can&#8217;t bear to see Earl suffer from the constant infusion of antibiotics in the hospital. Let&#8217;s see if he can get rid of the fever himself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t help but call out his name, although I don&#8217;t know why I do so.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Frances turns to look at me gently. &#8220;Good morning,&#8221; he says softly.<\/p>\n<p>It seems to put an end to our bad terms which has lasted in the past few days.<\/p>\n<p>But when I think of the reason for our bicker, I still can&#8217;t let go of it.<\/p>\n<p>It can be told from his behavior that he likes Earl very much. But why does he do such a cruel thing to my child?<\/p>\n<p>Is it just because he is an illegitimate child?<\/p>\n<p>I feel that if I don&#8217;t ask, it will be difficult for me to sleep at night.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I ask him with tears.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frances, why are you so cruel to my child? I&#8217;ve already escaped so far. Isn&#8217;t that enough?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-341","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/341","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
