However, she nods in the end. Maybe she can\u2019t bear hiding all the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, don\u2019t get angry, Frances. Old Mr. Louis will be fine.\u201d Hilda Farey says softly. I look at her  warily while she smiles demurely. When a man is irritable, he must feel at ease when seeing such a face. Hilda is really good at utilizing men\u2019 weakness. Suddenly I worry a little that she would manage to tempt Frances.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately Frances just glances at her and then sits by me. Looking at Earl in my arms, Frances asks, \u201cIs Earl sleeping? Has he been scared?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking at Hilda complacently, I nod, \u201cNope, he is too little to understand what\u2019s happening.\u201d Hearing my answer, Frances nods, holds my hand, sits silently and doesn\u2019t say more. I can feel that he is rather nervous because his hand is sweaty and he holds me tightly. I don\u2019t say more and just allow him to hold my hand like this. Finally, the door of the operating room is open.<\/p>\n<p>The doctor tells us that old Mr. Louis went fainted because he was too excited, causing a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. And he lost balance because of cerebral hemorrhage, so he fell from upstairs. Fortunately, he has passed the dangerous period after operations. Sabina takes a long breath, then pushes the wheelchair and leaves the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Old Mr. Louis needs to stay in ICU for one night. As I have to take care of Earl, I go back after staying for a while. Honestly, I am really worried about leaving Frances and Hilda alone in the hospital. However, for the sake of the children, there is no alternative.<\/p>\n<p>Old Mr. Louis holds her and says lightly, \u201cHow about moving to live here? It\u2019s rather inconvenient for a widow and orphan to live alone. If you live here, we can take care of you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am afraid it\u2019s not apt. Not everyone in the family likes me.\u201d Hilda looks at me and says meaningfully. Yes, it\u2019s me who doesn\u2019t like her, I hate her.<\/p>\n<p>However, old Mr. Louis is tempted by her. Old Mr. Louis rolls his eyes and says disapprovingly, \u201cI have the final say in this family. Moreover, as your relationship with Frances is so good, there is nothing wrong. Seeing you makes me glad, maybe I will heal faster.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-449","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/449","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=449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
