Chapter 268

Chapter 268 A small figure was curled in the dark and narrow attic. Keith‘s body was alarmingly hot, andthe fever showed no signs of dissipating even after he took the antipyretics. His exposed skin waslittered with eerie–looking red rashes, which presented both a shocking and disgusting appearance.

He kept drifting in and out of consciousness as he mumbled weakly, “Mommy...”

Keith never thought that things would become like this. Why? Why would his mommy turn out this wayafter so long of separation? Was he... not her real son?

Why did she not hesitate to strike him when the moment called for it? Why did she ignore him when hewas down with a fever?

Keith could never understand the reasons. At that moment, he heard the sound of the attic door beingopened. “Young Master is inside… Are you really experienced in taking care of children?”

“Yes. I have a five–year–old daughter who was always sick when she was still a newborn, so I know howto take care of children.”

Tina approached the child on the floor as she spoke. One glance at the boy shocked her to the

core.

“Why are you the one...?” She never expected the young master of the Langford family to actually be theboy she had

met.

Keith was also stunned to see Tina. Even though she had disguised herself and deliberately lowered hervoice, he could still recognize her pretty easily.

“It‘s... you…” His voice had become hoarser than ever. Right now, Keith looked startlingly different fromhis usual cold and sharp–tongued self. His forehead was swollen, there was a scab forming on it, as ifsomeone had bashed his head in. There were patches of red rashes covering his body as well.

Tina propped him up while exclaiming in horror, “Oh my goodness! His condition‘s already this serious!Why didn‘t anyone send him to the hospital? Do you want him to die here?!”

She could barely believe her eyes. The condition of the child in her arms was already critical, and yetCindy was more worried about what beautiful outfit to wear in order to please her soon to returnhusband!

“Well, we...” the servant stammered, looking torn. “We‘ll lose our jobs if we defy Mrs. Langford‘s orders.”

“So, you‘re willing to let a child suffer for so long in exchange for your jobs?” Tina was furious

She quickly scooped the child into her arins and continued, “If you don‘t want to send him to the hospital,then I‘ll do it!”

“No! We‘ll be punished if you do that!” All the servants tried to stop her.

“You b*stards!” Tina knew she could no longer waste time arguing with those people. She took a deepbreath before saying, “This is the attic, which means it‘s filthy! Also, the young master is injured andweakened, hence the breakout of his allergies. I need to bring him to a clean room right now.” “But...”“Besides, Mr. Langford is coming back soon, isn‘t he? If Young Master Langford died right here, all ofyou, who were supposed to be taking care of him, would never be able to explain yourselves to him!”Tina‘s words made the servants‘ resolve waver. She took Keith back to his own room and gave him a

quick sponge bath before helping him into clean clothes made of soft cotton. Not daring to feed him anymore antipyretics, she could only lower his body temperature through physical means. She laid amakeshift bag consisting of a towel and placed a bag of ice cubes on his forehead, making sure tochange the towels and replace the ice cubes every now and then. It was only at midnight that Keith‘sbody temperature started going down. Tina couldn‘t help but let out a sigh of relief. The boy was finallyrecovering. However, she couldn‘t bring herself to rest. If Cindy couldn‘t see the designs that she cameup with the next morning, she‘d definitely be chased out of the mansion. Hence, Tina had no choice butto drag her exhausted body back to her room and started working on the designs. Morning soon came.Tina didn‘t need any disguises to make herself look ugly, since the heavy bags and dark rings under hereyes were more than enough to frighten everyone. Just as she was about to show Cindy the clothes thatshe had made, she heard a servant‘s voice from outside. “Mr. Langford, you‘re back!”
