Chapter 586


    After the private doctor listened to what Ste had said, he replied, “Mrs. Conrad, Mr. Conrad’s


    condition is exacerbated by the infection of his injuries which worsened his cold. Rest assured that he’ll


    be fine once we get the infection under control.”


    Ste frowned and asked, “Are you certain that he doesn’t need to go to the hospital?”


    “No, no. There is no need to. But he needs to take the medicine as directed.” The doctor replied.


    “He took the medicine yesterday afternoon and at night,” Ste answered.


    The doctor eximed and said, “That’s strange. He should be getting better by right.”


    He continued after a pause, “Mrs. Conrad, did you change his bandages this morning?”


    “Er… not yet.” Mrs. Conrad replied guiltily.


    “Then can you kindly change his bandages and then give him another dose of the medicine? If he


    doesn’t get better in a couple of hours, I’ll make a trip over.” The doctor said.


    Ste heaved a sigh and replied, “Okay, I’ll do that.”


    Ste ended the call and left to cook some porridge when it did not appear that rence was about to


    wake up.


    She filled the pot with water and left it on the stove before going over to the washing machine to do


    someundry. Thereafter, she tidied the living hall and when she was emptying the trash, she noticed


    some pills inside the trash can.


    Ste squatted next to the trash can and then carefully picked up the pills inside the trash can. Then


    she went topare them with the medicine that the doctor prescribed for rence.


    True enough, they were identical. Ste frowned immediately and tightly clenched her fists.


    …


    In fact, rence was already awake when Ste called the doctor. Heid on the bed with his eyes


    wide open before shutting them when he heard the door opening.


    Ste brought the medical box and sat beside the bed. She took out a pair of small scissors and began


    to cut the bandage on his arm. She was very precise and gentle in reapplying the ointment onto his


    wounds.


    Suddenly, rence grunted in pain.


    Ste asked softly, “You’re awake?”


    rence opened his eyes, looked at her, and asked, “What are you doing?”


    “Changing your bandage and reapplying the ointment.” Ste rxed the tension on the bandage and


    continued, “Look at how badly your wound is infected. I’ll try a more aggressive means of treatment.”


    rence pursed his lips and asked, “What good will it do?”


    “Aren’t you awake? Since you had already given up hope on your arm, let’s do some experiment with


    it.”


    rence was speechless.


    Ste looked at the wound and it was not bleeding. She continued to bandage the wound and then left


    when it was done.


    rence slowly sat up on the bed and started to rub his temples. A momentter, Ste returned with a


    bowl of porridge, ced it on the bedside table, and then left.


    rence waited for several seconds. When he did not hear the outside door being opened and shut,


    he picked up the tray with the bowl and left the room for the dining room.


    He saw Ste eating at the dining table. rence ced the tray on the table and sat opposite her and


    asked, “Why didn’t you go back?”


    Ste replied without raising her head, “Thanks to you, now I have a cold.”


    rence frowned slightly and grinned. He picked up the spoon and scooped some porridge and said,


    “Have you gone to the doctor?”


    “Yes.” She replied.

    “What did the doctor say?” He asked.


    “The doctor asked me to prepare to die if I don’t take my medicine.” Ste snapped.


    rence was speechless. He then looked towards the trash can and frowned. She had discovered


    what he had done.


    Ste continued to eat while rence kept his silence.


    They continued to eat quietly without speaking a word. After the meal, Ste washed her dishes and


    went to the sofa to take her medicine. Likewise, rence sat beside her with a ss of water and


    picked up his medicine from the coffee table. Ste red at him for mimicking her actions.


    rence obediently took the medicine and ced them in his mouth and washed them down with a


    ss of water. After that, rence turned towards her and asked, “Why are you looking at me?”


    Ste sighed and then looked away and took her medicine.


    The rain was gradually bing heavier and it was gloomy outside. It was an excellent day to sleep at


    home. The medicine caused drowsiness and soon Ste fell asleep on the sofa.


    rence grinned when he saw this and walked over to Ste. He knelt beside her and then called


    softly, “Ste.”


    There was no reply.


    rence gently pinched her nose and she reflexively frowned and swatted his hand but remained


    asleep. It looked like she was truly asleep.


    rence stood up, picked her up in his arms, and positioned her onto the bed. She was in deep sleep


    due to the cold medicine and did not wake up in the process.


    rence covered her with the nket,id beside her, and gently embraced her.


    Ste habitually grabbed his waist and then snuggled in his embrace and continued to sleep soundly.


    rence gave her a peck on her forehead and closed his eyes.


    …


    When Ste woke up, the entire house was pitch ck. She was in a daze and did not want to get out


    of bed. She stretched herself and reached for her cellphone to check the time but instead of her phone,


    she felt a nose and the lips of a man.


    Ste was speechless. She paused for a couple of seconds before reaching to feel his forehead.


    Good, it seemed that his fever had subsided.


    Ste could see through the window that it was already night and it appeared that it waste in the


    night. She quickly sat up and wondered what the situation was next door.


    As soon as she sat up on the bed, she was quickly pulled back onto the bed.


    rence said with a raspy voice, “Sleep a while longer.”


    “Sleep? It’s already dark. You can sleep all you want.” She pushed aside his hand and ran outside.


    Ste and Madison practically opened the door at the same time.


    Madison said, “Hey, your brother’s here. I’ll leave now.”


    Ste nodded, “Be careful on the roads, it’s still raining.”


    Madison waved, “No worries, my husband’s here to pick me up.”


    Ste was speechless.


    The lift arrived and Madison said, “Goodbye.”


    After taking a few steps, she turned around and said, “Oh yes, since you still have a cold, you should


    not go back tonight. Otherwise, your son would be looking for you. Why don’t you stay here tonight?”


    Ste felt a splitting headache and said, “Go ahead now.”


    After Madison left, Ste went to the apartment next door and called out, “Chan.”


    Channing looked around and asked, “How is your cold?”


    “It’s getting better… a little.” She mumbled.


    The kid saw Ste and wanted to crawl over as he called out, “Mommy…”


    As he tried to crawl over to Ste, Channing carried him up and said to Ste, “I’ll be here this


    weekend. Come back after you recover from your cold.”


    Ste frowned and then sighed, “Hold onto him. I’ll get some clothes from my room.”
