Met with Hayden's doubt, the old and the young stared at each other for a moment through a safety net. When the little child was about to speak, Harrison coughed sharply.
“Cough cough cough, cough cough cough”
The butler on the side, Mark, immediately understood, stepped forward and asked with concern.
“Sir, are you okay?”
Hayden also asked and had thrown her doubts she had to the back of her head.
“It's okay, it's a bit cold outside, let’s go back, it's going to get dark later.”
Harrison was getting older, so it was reasonable to make such a request.
Hayden called the two little children out of the playground area. After a round of enjoined, she gave them to Mark and Harrison for them to bring them away.
When they were leaving, Stella still looked reluctant. However, through the car window, Hayden saw Harrison taking out a box of chocolates like a trick which were coincidentally the two children’s favorite.
The little girl opened her eyes and smiled almost instantly.
The little glutton.
Hayden couldn’t help but shook her head helplessly and called for a taxi on the side of the road.
“Hi, Green Community .”
After Hayden left, Joseph and Benjamin were left in the apartment. The two severely ill patients only had each other. Compared to Benjamin who wasn’t speaking logically due to his flu, it was easier for Hayden to care for Joseph.
“I feel Hayden is still reluctant to talk to you.”
In the living room, Benjamin stretched his head out from the sofa blanket and forcefully blew his nose, and threw the tissue into the trash can.
“Aren't you going to do something? After all, you were wrong about it. Don’t think that this illness can cover it up. Hayden is just not going to argue with a patient.”
Joseph didn't look like a sick person. He was currently standing behind the marble table in the kitchen with a teapot in his hand pouring tea and looked fresh.
He didn't even lift his head, “Just take care of your own business.”.
“You can't pretend to be sick for a lifetime.”
Joseph just glanced at him as he took out two cups of boiled water from the kitchen and placed one cup in front of Benjamin and the medicine beside him.
“Another round of medicine?”
Benjamin sighed, “Why do I feel that the more medicine I take, the worst I feel?”
“This is to be taken before your meal. If you don't want to have your meal, you can have it later.”
Joseph's expression was faint, “Also, the doctor prescribed the medicine for you, it not what I want you to take.”.
“Why doesn't the doctor prescribe it for you?”
“He did,” Joseph gave him a meaningful look.
Benjamin was unable to think due to his flu however when he saw his eyes he realized. He reached out from the blanket and touched the cap of the bottle that contained the medicine. He immediately poured it into his mouth and swallowed it down with water, and unclearly said, “Treat it as I didn’t say anything.”.
Joseph had long recovered from his flu. Even if he did not take any medication, he would have recovered since it way past the usual flu downtime. Besides, he also took a few days of medication. If it wasn’t for Benjamin who discovered that he had thrown the medication into the dustbin, he really wouldn’t have discovered that he had been pretending to be sick until now.
It was treated as a personal favor. For Joseph did not rush to tell Hayden that Benjamin had recovered his memories. Likewise, Benjamin helped to keep the secret.
There was a sound of opening the door. Benjamin hadn’t even registered it but Joseph had swiftly switched from an upright position to a slouching resting position with the blanket covering him.
“You’re really good!", Benjamin glanced at him.
In the next second, Hayden opened the door with two supermarket shopping bags in her hands.
