Is that the woman on the phone this morning?<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t expect to run into a scene like this. My whole head is in a mess<\/p>\n<p>Instinctively, I don\u2019t want Frances Louis to see me.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t care so much to avoid him. I directly bury my head on Steven Song&#8217;s shoulder and walk by him.<\/p>\n<p>I walk along the porch, Frances Louis and the woman are on the other side. Although it is a face-to-face encounter, if I hide well enough, Frances Louis would not have find me out.<\/p>\n<p>After all, we are not that familiar.<\/p>\n<p>A short walk, for me, is like the long march. When I get to the ward, my legs have become soft.<\/p>\n<p>Damn it, why am I acting like a coward? Why I hide from Frances Louis?! It is because I owe his money?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI go to buy some porridge for you, you can drink a sip of water and lie down for a while. The nurse would come to give you infusion in a minute. If something happens, just call me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steven Song says and goes out.<\/p>\n<p>I have to say, Steven Song may look goofy on the surface, but he&#8217;s actually quite sweet.<\/p>\n<p>After drinking a cup of hot water, I feel more comfortable and take a nap in bed.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t sleep well last night, and with the pain killing me, I&#8217;m so sleepy now.<\/p>\n<p>There comes a steady, powerful sound of footsteps at the door. I don\u2019t open my eyes, thinking it must be the nurse.<\/p>\n<p>But after a while, I sense something is wrong. The nurse should have given me an infusion, and the nurse&#8217;s footsteps shouldn&#8217;t have been the sound of leather shoes kicking.<\/p>\n<p>I open my eyes and see Frances Louis standing beside me.<\/p>\n<p>There is no expression on his cool face, but I feel an invisible pressure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy would you come?\u201d I ask and move back instinctively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy woman?\u201d Frances Louis looks at me up and down.<\/p>\n<p>Damn you! I am not your woman!<\/p>\n<p>It seems that there is a group of fire in my heart and I have nowhere to vent. I shout directly to Frances Louis, \u201cIt is the woman in your room this morning, and the woman with a big belly you just held. You are about to become a father, and you are always flirting with women. You are a man who cheats and plays with women&#8217;s feelings!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis narrows his eyes and stares at me for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>His a look makes me uneasy.<\/p>\n<p>Would he beat me up or just ask me to pay me back right away?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a little nervous just thinking about it.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, Frances Louis suddenly bents over me, and whispers in my ear with a magnetic voice<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you jealous?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-52","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/52","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=52"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
