Chapter 585
Ste arrived at the home electrical and appliances department pushing the little one in the cart. She
finally found the hairdryer after searching for two rows and took her a few minutes to select one with
good functionality and couldst longer.
She headed straight to the check-out counter after that to meet Sherry and Daniel, made the payment,
and went home.
Ste bathed her son once they arrived home and he fell asleep soon after.
It was nearly eleven at night after she put the baby to sleep and tidied up toys in the living room.
Ste sat on the sofa looking at the unopened hairdryer, let out a sigh, and went next door.
There was no one in the living room, hence, she went into the bedroom, looking at the half-closed door,
and asked, “rence, are you asleep?”
“No.”
“I picked up a hairdryer downstairs, it looks fine and it’s in your bathroom now.”
There was no reply. When Ste was about to leave, the door was opened. rence stood in front of
her and said casually, “Nice pick.”
Ste remained calm, avoided his reply, “Why are you not wearing clothes again?” She asked,
frowning.
“I’m changing the medicine, having clothes on is inconvenient,” rence said.
Ste gaze at his wounded arm hearing that, the gauze was half removed and she could see the
wound was bleeding, it was quite terrifying.
“Can you manage it all by yourself?” She asked,
“Yes,” rence replied.
Ste looked up, staring at him, feeling unbelievable.
‘Why is he not pretend to be pity now?’
Since he said so, Ste didn’t say anything else, “Goodbye then, be careful not to get water on your
wound when you shower.”
rence nodded and said, “Good night.”
“Goodbye.”
Ste went back next door, staring at the little one sound asleep, she hesitated and went back to
rence.
rence was cleaning his wound in the bedroom. It was all swollen due to inmmation and it made
the wound looked even scarier.
‘Ste scared looking at these kinds of stuff, if she saw this, she might not be able to sleep well tonight,
it might even leave her some bad memories,’ he thought.
After cleaning up and sanitizing the wound, rence took the gauze, hold one end in his mouth and
wrap it around his arm clumsily.
The door was pushed open while he was doing this.
“Why are you back?” rence asked.
Ste didn’t say anything and sat beside him, looking at the gauze, “It’s a mess,” she said as she
began removing it.
rence stopped her by holding her hands, “It’s fine.”
“If the condition worsens, you might lose this arm,” Ste said.
rence turned silent.
Ste removed the gauze and sanitized the wound once again. When the cotton bud touched his
wound, she felt as if her arm was hurting.
rence looked at her and lowered his head slowly.
When his lips were about to touch her forehead, “I’ll kill you if I catch your cold,” Ste warned.
He couldn’t utter a word and slowly raised his head.
Ste wrapped up his wound after using the medicine, “Have you taken your pill?”
“Yes.”
She then cleaned up and threw the used items into the trash, “Go to bed now.”

“I’ve slept the whole day, can’t sleep now,” rence said.
“Do as you pleased, I’m going to bed now,” Ste rose.
rence pulled her hand, “Can you sleep here tonight?”
“What do you think?” Ste turned to him.
“I think you can.”
Ste took a deep breath and tried pulling her hand back, slightly annoyed, but rence held on tight.
“I took care of you today because you are sick, don’t overthink, okay?” She said.
“Can you apany me here tonight because I am sick?”
Ste stared at him without a word, it was obvious that she was about to lose it.
rence quickly released her, “Good night.”
Ste went for a shower and went to bed soon after, she stared nkly at the ceiling.
She didn’t do much today but was exhausted. She turned to the side and shut her eyes.
Ste was half-awakened in the middle of the night, feeling dizzy along with a runny nose.
‘I catch a cold from that wretched man?’ She thought.
She quickly woke up and swallowed some cold medicine, but still woke up feeling sick the next day.
She took her temperature, no fever but the runny nose and sneezing were signs of a cold.
Madison opened the door and saw the little one rolling in the crib, struggling to get up, while Ste on
the other hand sat afar looking nkly at him.
Madison, “My God, what is going on?”
Ste, “I’ve got cold; I don’t want him to catch my cold.”
“You were fine yesterday, but now…”
Madison thought of something and didn’t continue. She shrugged and picked up the baby in the crib.
After Madison fed the little one, she said, “Why don’t you stay next door? The baby can catch your cold
easily if you stay here.”
“I’ll go to the office,” Ste said as she stood up.
“It’s Saturday, why would you go to the office?”
“Oh…” Ste was a little confused.
She took her stuff and said, “I’ll visit the hospital and find a ce to kill time. I’lle back after I feel
better.”
Madison put the baby on the mat, “Why won''t you go next door?”
“I don’t want Sherry to catch my cold.”
“I meant rence’s ce, he is sick too, both with viruses should stay together, don’t go out and
spread to others.”
Ste closed her eyes and felt the urge to sneeze, she quickly covered her mouth, “I’m going.”
Ste visited the hospital. The doctor said it wasmon flu and she would be fine after three days
with medication.
She must not get close to the baby under this condition. The baby had a weaker immune system and
easily caught a cold from others.
Ste sneezed a few times at the hospital entrance, she felt sick and ufortable.
And then the rain pour, it was such a sad and misfortune scenario.
She was thinking about renting a room in a nearby hotel when Sherry called.
“Ste, Mr. Conrad passed out due to fever? I knocked on the door a few times but no one answer, do
you want toe back and take a look?”
Ste took a deep breath, “I’ll be back right away.”
Ste went into rence’s bedroom and saw him lying on the bed. She then touched his forehead and
found that his fever had worsened. ‘Didn’t he had the medicinest night?’
She reached for her mobile, called Nathan, and asked for his personal doctor’s contact.
