Theodore's eyes were as cold as a knife as they stabbed into the boy's body.

It didn't take long for the police to arrive. Theodore said a few words to the police, and the boy was taken away.

The girl followed him to the police station as well as they needed to submit their reports.

Although Everleigh was standing under the hot sun, her whole body was wet and she still felt cold. She swore that she would not come to such a place ever again. Just once was enough.

In order to show his apology, the manager gave her a set of clothes.

Theodore's beautiful date was ruined.

On the way back, Everleigh sneezed a few times, and Theodore's cold eyes were still full of concern.

"I'll buy some medicine for you."

"There's no need. I want to go back."

The guilt in his eyes grew heavier. She would not allow him to bring her to any other place either, thus he could only send her back to the

Trevino family home.

She walked in without looking back. He wasn't in a hurry to leave either. He was only willing to leave when he saw that she had completely disappeared into the house. Theodore's clothes were also wet, but he didn't change out of them. At that moment, there was nowhere for him to vent his anger.

Leon was still enjoying his wonderful time at home, thinking about whether he should go to look for Cecil. However, at this time, Theodore walked in with a gloomy face. "Theodore, weren't you..."

Theodore glared at him coldly, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned around and left.

Leon said with a face full of grievances, "What's going on?"

"Sir, are you alright?"

"How could I be alright?" Leon felt even more wronged when he heard this. He took out his mobile phone and called Romantic Urban to ask about what had happened.

He was the one who reserved the room they went to. When he asked about what had happened, he realized that he had just escaped death's claw.

He was lucky to not have been beaten to a pulp.

As a result, Everleigh had a fever that evening. She laid on the bed and kept sneezing. Abraham, Selena, Alastair, and Adrienne were with her. "Mommy, how did you end up like this?"

"I had bad luck today. Let's not talk about it," Everleigh said with a heavy nasal voice. Her eyes were full of helplessness. It was indeed her worst day ever and she wanted to erase it out of her memory. "Mommy, I noticed that this isn't the dress that you went out with this morning." Alastair's cold and sharp voice came, and he still remembered the clothes hanging on the hanger.

"Yeah, why did you change your clothes?"

"I fell into the pool and had to change my clothes. Otherwise, I wouldn't have caught a cold." After saying that, she sneezed again, and even wanted to cry. Abraham's heart ached for her. "Why don't we go to the hospital?"

"No, I'm a doctor myself too. Dad, could you go and buy me some medicine?" Everleigh sat up, took out a piece of paper and a pen, then wrote a prescription. He nodded.

Selena looked at her and said in a low voice, "Look at what time it is, yet you still want to bother Dad?"

Everleigh's hand paused, and her eyes darkened. She didn't know whether or not to continue writing.

"It's okay. I've been resting at home all day anyway. I'll just take it as going out for a stroll." Abraham's tone didn't reveal any displeasure, but his eyes were filled with warning. Selena was very dissatisfied and said angrily, "I'll bring Alastair and Adrienne to buy it for you instead, and let Dad take care of you. I don't want you to infect the children either." "Okay, Auntie, let's go quickly," Adrienne said and took Selena's hand, hoping to buy the medicine straightaway.

Alastair agreed as well, thus he followed along.

"Your sister is a woman with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don't think too much about it."

"I know."

Selena came out with Alastair and Adrienne. Adrienne looked at the ice-cream shop next to the pharmacy and was immediately drooling. "Alastair, do you think that ice cream would be delicious?" "Are you here to buy some medicine for Mommy or to eat ice cream?" He asked.

She pouted and said, "Buy the medicine for Mommy..."

Selena took a deep breath and said, "I will buy the ice cream for you later. Let's buy medicine first, shall we?"

"Okay." Adrienne shouted happily. As expected, her aunt treated her the best.

In the car, she ate the ice cream, and her face was covered with it. Looking at Adrienne making a mess of herself, Alastair couldn't bear to look at her.

Before they reached home, Adrienne's phone rang. It was from Theodore.

"Hey, Daddy." "Mommy is ill. Auntie and I came to buy her some medicine."

"Really? When will you come over?"

As soon as her words came out, Selena and Alastair both subconsciously frowned. Was Theodore coming over?

It was not really bad news, actually.

"Okay, Daddy. Mommy likes eating ice cream, especially the strawberry one. You must bring some more. I'll be waiting for you at the gate," she said in a childish tone and then hung up the phone. "He's coming?"

"Yeah, he said he wanted to come meet Mommy. Auntie, we'll wait for Daddy to come tomorrow." Adrienne grabbed the chair and said with expectation.

Selena did not speak, but drove quietly.

Although she didn't ask what happened to Everleigh, she had guessed something more or less.

If Theodore knew that she had fallen into the water, then it meant that he was together with her when it happened.

When the three of them returned home, Selena went to get her some water.

Abraham brought the children back to their room to rest.

"When we were coming back, Alastair received a call from Theodore."

Everleigh placed the medicine in her mouth and took a sip of water as if she didn't hear her words.

"I'm talking to you."

"I'm listening. Does it have anything to do with me?" "How is it none of your business? Weren't you with him today?" Selena couldn't help but say this in a very agitated manner.

Everleigh was silent for a long time and did not speak. Seeing her like this, Selena got so angry that she turned around and left.

There was only Everleigh in the room. She was lying on the bed, and her whole body was sore.

Everything that had happened recently was replaying in her mind like a movie.

Unknowingly, she fell asleep. She fell into a dream. She dreamt of the days when she and Theodore were still in university, and the both of them were smiling happily. However, in the next moment, the things that happened that night once again came to haunt her. She tried her best to run away, but she couldn't get rid of the people behind her.

Just as she was at a dead end, a person appeared. She could not see the face of the person. Just when she was about to finally see who it was, a cold bucket of water splashed on her.

"Ah..."

Everleigh shouted and suddenly opened her eyes. She looked at the surroundings, and found that it was both familiar and unfamiliar for her.

Selena sat aside and looked at her in horror. She then placed a cool towel on her face and was trying not to scream.

"You had a fever, and your lips were cracked." Selena looked at her red face and explained what had just happened.
