"He... he..." Bella pointed at Calvin incredulously, "Is he Miss Hunt and Mr. Murphy’s ..."
Violet had guessed that Bella would react like this before she came. After blinking, she waved her hand and replied, "No, he is my child with someone else’s."
"Someone else?" Bella frowned, obviously not believing in Violet.
This boy looked the same as Mr. Murphy.
How could it be someone else's?
Violet knew what Bella was suspicious, but she did not explain too much. She let go of Calvin's head and changed the subject, "Well, Bella, take me to see Mr. Murphy. Didn’t you say that Mr. Murphy called my name in his dream?"
When Bella heard this, she let out the way sideways, "Yes, Miss Hunt, come in quickly."
Violet gave a hmm, and then took Calvin's hand into the villa.
After entering, Bella directly took Violet and Calvin to the master bedroom on the third floor.
Stanley was lying on the big bed with his eyes closed. Violet stood by the bed. Watching his pale face and listening to his slightly rapid breathing, she couldn't help reaching out to touch his forehead.
Then she frowned, "It's hot! Did you call a doctor?"
"I called. The doctor gave Mr. Murphy a fever-reducing injection." Bella sighed and replied.
Calvin was lying on the side of the hospital bed. He stared at Stanley, "Mommy, is Uncle Murphy okay?"
"It's okay." Before Violet could answer, Bella spoke first, "It's just that we can’t bring his fever down yet."
Violet's eyes fell on the alcohol on the bedside, "Sponge Mr. Murphy down with alcohol. Should the fever go down faster, right?"
Bella nodded, "Yeah, that's what the doctor said before he left. It's just that Mr. Murphy never let anyone touch him. So I… Miss Hunt..."
Violet realized something, and opened her mouth, "Bella, do you want me to do it?"
Bella smiled and rubbed her hands on her apron, "Yes, that's what I meant. I thought that since Mr. Murphy is calling your name in his dreams, he should not resist your touch."
"But..." Violet bit her lower lip in embarrassment, and wanted to say something.
Bella interrupted her beggingly, "Miss Hunt, for the sake of that Mr. Murphy gave you the coat last night, please help him."
Since Bella said so, Violet couldn’t refute. She could only agree, "Okay, I get it."
She really didn't know why she had to come here.
"Thank you, Miss Hunt. Boy, go downstair with me. I will take you to eat delicious food." Bella happily went to pull Calvin's hand.
Calvin looked at Violet. Seeing Violet nodding, he obediently held Bella’s hand.
After they went out, Violet and Stanley were left in the room.
Violet sighed long, turned her head again, and went to see the man on the bed.
The man was probably very uncomfortable right now. His chest covered with a thin quilt was constantly rising and falling. His thin lips were slightly open, and he breathed heavily. More than that, his neck was full of sweat. The sweat dripped down the Adam's apple, dripped into the collar of the pajamas and disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Violet touched his neck. Then she felt that her hands sticky and even his neckline was wet.
