No One But You

To my surprise, I was lying peacefully in bed. After reading the instructions, Brooke put the medicine bottle back on the bedside table. Then he turned around and walked to the door, leaving some emotionless words, “I’ll let Stella bring you some plain porridge.”

As long as he didn’t send me a coffin, I would be thankful.

It really surprised me that he was so calm.

I wondered if Brooke knew I lied to him.

He thought that as a mother, I would not take the medicine that was harmful to the baby for the sake of a momentary pleasure.

I had been lying in the bed like this for three days. The stomach ache gradually disappeared after aching for a while.

Except that I was sad when my stomach ached, I felt pretty good the rest of the time.

Since I was lying in bed and couldn’t go anywhere, naturally I didn’t need to see people coming and going in Knight’s house.

Mrs. Knight came to visit me every day and sometimes she would even bring me some tonics that she stewed which she thought were good for my stomach.

But as for Brooke’s mother, that is, the chief wife of Mr. Knight, I hadn’t seen her at all during these three days.

I thought she should at least come by my room to take a look at me, even affectedly. But she didn’t try to pretend at all.

It had been exceptionally quiet these days when I was lying in bed. I could eat and drink while lying and didn’t need to see Calvin and Fairy Dixon.

Unfortunately, Fairy Dixon actually came to my room.

I pretended to fall asleep, with my eyes shut. She sat beside my bed and didn’t attend to leave, sharpening her nails with a nail clipper, which really annoyed me.

I couldn’t stand it and opened my eyes to throw a glance at her, “What’s the matter, sister?”

“I heard that you were sick, so I came to have a look.” She raised one of her eyes, and continued to sharpen her nails.

“Since now you’ve seen I’m fine, you could leave now.” I said.

“You wouldn’t be able to see me tomorrow.” It seemed she said it with a proud smile.

“Are you dying tomorrow?” That was a pretty good news.
