It was still raining outside, the rain beating hard against the glass window. William stood by the window and watched the lightning crackling in the sky. His expression was stoic but you can tell he was deep in thought.
The housekeeper's voice came from behind. "Mr. Montgomery, Toby is on his way to send Miss Lang home."
William twisted the blinds shut and turned around to face the housekeeper.
The young girl's voice on the phone echoed in his ears for a long time.
"Mr. Montgomery, it's time for you to take your medicine." The housekeeper held the water and the pills.
William thought of something strange after clearing his head. He frowned. "Tell Toby to come see me when he gets back."
He and Emma broke up 7 years ago. She eloped and got married, went overseas to have children?
What else did he not know about this woman?
He had to figure out everything.

After returning home, Emma went to bed without even washing her face. After sneezing a few times, her body started to heat up. As a doctor, she knew she caught a cold and was running a fever. But she had no energy left in her body to get up and take meds.
In a fevery daze, she didn't even know who was talking to her.
"Mommy!"
"Shh, Natalie, Mommy has a fever."
"Ah! What should we do?”
"I'll call Uncle James and ask him what medicine we should buy."
"It's raining outside. I'm going to change my shoes. Nathan, let's go buy medicine for mommy."
The night was very dark and the heavy rain filled the streets and alleys.
At the pharmacy just down the street, the two children grabbed the medicine recommended by Uncle James and went to the counter to pay.
