I held the box of medicine tightly in my hand and looked at Shelton. "I can't marry you before Patrick comes back, but I need Glenn to live. If something bad happens to Glenn, I'll die with him."
"Oh." Shelton looked up at me. "If you don't want to get married, it's okay. Then you can be pregnant with my child first."
"In this way, it doesn't matter when Patrick comes back." He looked at me with a bit of firmness in his expression. "After all, you are a mother who loves your child so much. No matter who is its father, I think you will love it as well."
Shelton was truly a sinister and terrifying man.
He used this sweet but poisonous words to hit the nail on the head.
Yes, he was right.
I didn't believe that any mother would hurt her own child...
Seeing that I was speechless, Shelton waved at me and said, "I'll give you two weeks. If you think it over, come to me."
I took the medicine and left without hesitation.
When I got in the car, I opened the medicine box, and there were three tablets inside.
"What is the course of this medicine?"
When I was about to call Shelton and ask him how should Glenn eat it, my phone rang first.
It was Shelton. I answered the phone and he said, "This medicine can only be used for one pill at a time. The interval between each pill must be 24 hours. It can't be more or less."

I see.
I nodded.
I thought he was just telling me how to take the medicine.
But as soon as I finished, he said, "This medicine is made according to the weight of Glenn, so he must eat all the pills. If you want to take one to study, I don't care. But if there is anything wrong with Glenn, don't come to me again."
When I heard this, I was frightened.
In fact, I didn't expect to take the medicine to find someone for research, but he thought of it first.
I held the phone tightly in my hand. Before I could say anything, he hung up.
When I returned home, Ryan and Jessica were sitting downstairs. Lisa and Roger were standing at the door of Glenn's room upstairs.
When Lisa saw me, she whispered, "He's asleep."
I walked over, took out the medicine in my hand, and said, "Shelton gave me this. He said that it could keep Glenn safe for two weeks."
Lisa gnashed her teeth in anger and asked, "What do you mean by 'two weeks'? What about two weeks later?"
"Two weeks later..." I lowered my head and said guiltily, "I'll get back to Shelton."
At the side, Roger sneered. "Get back to him two weeks later? I don't know about others, but I know Shelton is scheming. How can he help you for nothing!?"
After hearing his words, Lisa realized and ask, "Right! Did he ask for something?"
I didn't have the mood to answer these questions. I pushed the door open with the medicine and went in. "Let Glenn take the pills first."
When I was about to go in, Lisa grabbed my arm, looked at me and asked, "Are you sure this medicine is okay?"
I've thought about this problem, too.
However, no matter how I doubt about it, Shelton could not do such a thankless thing. "I'm sure."
I said firmly.
Upon hearing my words, Lisa did not try to stop
me.
I woke Glenn up, fed him the pills, and then took a note of the time.
After taking the medicine, Glenn went back to sleep.
In the past few days, his fever was so high that he was very weak.
