However, the cold came too violently. At midday, Jay began to develop a fever. His body temperature rose to 41 degrees Celsius, and even the valiant Jay could not resist the surging of this sickness. He lay on the bed a s if he was at his last breath.
With the last bit of consciousness left, he merely kept exclaiming, "Angeline, Angeline..."
As if they were connected telepathically, Angeline had been in a daze since getting up in the morning. She was absent-minded during the meal, and Zayne decided to tease her. "Perhaps Big Brother's cooking doesn't suit your taste?"
Angeline shook her head and kept her eyes on the phone.
Zayne asked, "Waiting for his call?"
Angeline nodded.
"If he doesn't call you, you can call him instead,” said Zayne.
Then, Angeline picked up the phone to call Jay.
No one answered the phone for quite some time, and the other party picked up just as the ringtone was about to end.
However, the person who answered the phone was not Jay but Jenson.
Jenson saw the unknown number, so his voice was stiff. "Hello, Jenson Ares speaking."
Angeline's soft voice was heard on the other line." Jens, it's Mommy."
Jenson's eyes were filled with surprise. His voice was no longer cold and rigid as he called out, "Mommy."
Jay sat listlessly on the bed, his back leaning against the head of the bed. Hearing Jenson calling the other party 'Mommy', he knew that Angeline was the one calling.
Jay picked up the pen and paper next to him and quickly wrote on it. ‘Tell her I left my phone at home!'
Jenson nodded toward Jay and explained to his mom, "Mommy, Daddy is visiting Chloe at the hospital. He left his phone at home."
Angeline breathed a sigh of relief. "Tell Daddy to call Mommy when he gets home."
"Okay, Mommy."
"Jens, do you have anything else to say to Mommy?" Angeline could feel Jenson's slight hesitation and silence.
Jenson replied, "Are you feeling better, Mommy?"
