After the private doctor listened to what Stella had said, he replied, âMrs. Conrad, Mr. Conradâs condition is exacerbated by the infection of his injuries which worsened his cold. Rest assured that heâll be fine once we get the infection under control.â
Stella frowned and asked, âAre you certain that he doesnât need to go to the hospital?â
âNo, no. There is no need to. But he needs to take the medicine as directed.â The doctor replied.
âHe took the medicine yesterday afternoon and at night,â Stella answered.
The doctor exclaimed and said, âThatâs strange. He should be getting better by right.â
He continued after a pause, âMrs. Conrad, did you change his bandages this morning?â
âEr... not yet.â Mrs. Conrad replied guiltily.
âThen can you kindly change his bandages and then give him another dose of the medicine? If he doesnât get better in a couple of hours, Iâll make a trip over.â The doctor said.
Stella heaved a sigh and replied, âOkay, Iâll do that.â
Stella ended the call and left to cook some porridge when it did not appear that Clarence 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 some laundry. Thereafter, she tidied the living hall and when she was emptying the trash, she noticed some pills inside the trash can.
Stella squatted next to the trash can and then carefully picked up the pills inside the trash can. Then she went to compare them with the medicine that the doctor prescribed for Clarence.
True enough, they were identical. Stella frowned immediately and tightly clenched her fists.
...
In fact, Clarence was already awake when Stella called the doctor. He laid on the bed with his eyes wide open before shutting them when he heard the door opening.
Stella 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, Clarence grunted in pain.
Stella asked softly, âYouâre awake?â
Clarence opened his eyes, looked at her, and asked, âWhat are you doing?â
âChanging your bandage and reapplying the ointment.â Stella relaxed the tension on the bandage and continued, âLook at how badly your wound is infected. Iâll try a more aggressive means of treatment.â
Clarence pursed his lips and asked, âWhat good will it do?â
âArenât you awake? Since you had already given up hope on your arm, letâs do some experiment with it.â
Clarence was speechless.
Stella looked at the wound and it was not bleeding. She continued to bandage the wound and then left when it was done.
Clarence slowly sat up on the bed and started to rub his temples. A moment later, Stella returned with a bowl of porridge, placed it on the bedside table, and then left.
Clarence 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 Stella eating at the dining table. Clarence placed the tray on the table and sat opposite her and asked, âWhy didnât you go back?â
Stella replied without raising her head, âThanks to you, now I have a cold.â
Clarence frowned slightly and grinned. He picked up the spoon and scooped some porridge and said, âHave you gone to the doctor?â
âYes.â She replied.
âWhat did the doctor say?â He asked.
âThe doctor asked me to prepare to die if I donât take my medicine.â Stella snapped.
Clarence was speechless. He then looked towards the trash can and frowned. She had discovered what he had done.
Stella continued to eat while Clarence kept his silence.
They continued to eat quietly without speaking a word. After the meal, Stella washed her dishes and went to the sofa to take her medicine. Likewise, Clarence sat beside her with a glass of water and picked up his medicine from the coffee table. Stella glared at him for mimicking her actions.
Clarence obediently took the medicine and placed them in his mouth and washed them down with a glass of water. After that, Clarence turned towards her and asked, âWhy are you looking at me?â
Stella sighed and then looked away and took her medicine.
The rain was gradually becoming heavier and it was gloomy outside. It was an excellent day to sleep at home. The medicine caused drowsiness and soon Stella fell asleep on the sofa.
Clarence grinned when he saw this and walked over to Stella. He knelt beside her and then called softly, âStella.â
There was no reply.
Clarence gently pinched her nose and she reflexively frowned and swatted his hand but remained asleep. It looked like she was truly asleep.
Clarence 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.
Clarence covered her with the blanket, laid beside her, and gently embraced her.
Stella habitually grabbed his waist and then snuggled in his embrace and continued to sleep soundly.
Clarence gave her a peck on her forehead and closed his eyes.
...
When Stella woke up, the entire house was pitch black. 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.
Stella was speechless. She paused for a couple of seconds before reaching to feel his forehead.
Good, it seemed that his fever had subsided.
Stella could see through the window that it was already night and it appeared that it was late 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.

âSleep? Itâs already dark. You can sleep all you want.â She pushed aside his hand and ran outside.
Stella and Madison practically opened the door at the same time.
Madison said, âHey, your brotherâs here. Iâll leave now.â
Stella nodded, âBe careful on the roads, itâs still raining.â
Madison waved, âNo worries, my husbandâs here to pick me up.â
Stella was speechless.
The lift arrived and Madison said, âGoodbye.â
After taking a few steps, she turned around and said, âOh yes, since you still have a cold, you should not go back tonight. Otherwise, your son would be looking for you. Why donât you stay here tonight?â
Stella felt a splitting headache and said, âGo ahead now.â
After Madison left, Stella went to the apartment next door and called out, âChan.â
Channing looked around and asked, âHow is your cold?â
âItâs getting better... a little.â She mumbled.
The kid saw Stella and wanted to crawl over as he called out, âMommy...â
As he tried to crawl over to Stella, Channing carried him up and said to Stella, âIâll be here this weekend. Come back after you recover from your cold.â
Stella frowned and then sighed, âHold onto him. Iâll get some clothes from my room.â
