The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 212

It suddenly became awkward.

It was the first time they had been together alone since their divorce.

After Tom took a shower, his mind was much clearer now, and he was not as lost as before.

He was a person with a strong mind. If it weren't for the news, which was too much for him to bear, he wouldn't have lost his composure.

Phoebe, on the other hand, was much weaker than Tom. Although she had taken a hot bath, she still caught a cold. She sneezed several times, and her nose was all red. She seemed very uncomfortable.

"Kerchoo!"

Phoebe suddenly sneezed. Tom was standing opposite her, and the droplets sprayed directly on his face.

Phoebe was embarrassed and apologized immediately, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..."

"It's okay." Tom shook his head, then went to the bathroom and washed his face. He came back and said, "You have a cold. You have to take medicine."

Phoebe rubbed her nose and shook her head, "I'm fine. I just need some rest tonight."

"It's no use resting. You're invaded by cold. If you don't take medicine in time, you will have a high fever..."

Before Tom could finish his sentence, Phoebe shivered, and her face turned red. Tom saw her like this and knew that Phoebe had a fever.

He reached out and touched Phoebe's forehead. It turned out that he was right.

"What are you doing?!" Phoebe was startled by his action. She reflexively covered her chest and took two steps back, looking at Tom in panic.

Tom's eyebrows twitched, and he was inexplicably disappointed. It seemed that Phoebe still had a grudge against him.

"Sorry, I just wanted to see if you had a fever." Tom said bitterly.

Seeing Tom's expression, Phoebe's lips moved. For some reason, she regretted that she had overreacted. "I didn't mean that. I just..."

Tom interrupted her, squeezed out a smile, and said, "No need to explain. I understand. We are not even friends now. I am too rash."

After that, he laughed at himself and took two steps back to keep his distance from Phoebe.

It seemed that Phoebe wanted to say something, but finally, she didn't. Yes, they were divorced. They were not even friends, but they knew each other. Coupled with their unhappy marriage, they were even more estranged and unfamiliar with each other...

But for some reason, she didn't want to see them be like this.

A long silence followed their distance. This time, Tom talked first. He said, "It's getting late. I have to go."
