“Why would you go with me?” Raquella inquired, perplexed by Frank’s abrupt declaration.

“We’ve been living together the past few days. What would I be doing all alone when you’re gone?”

“Taking care of one person is hard enough. Please don’t make my job harder. For some reason, she perceived him as a child incapable of caring for himself. It was understandable that she would think that because she was aware that he was significantly younger than she was.

“Why would I need you to take care of me? I’m not going just so you can take care of me. Also, I’ve been taking care of you over the past few days because of your stomach ache, Frank blurted out awkwardly.

Raquella froze in shock when she heard that. He’s right. I’ve been confined to my bed for the past few days. During that time, he cared for me, making me cups of ginger tea and reading bedtime stories. He is, in fact, an

excellent caretaker.

“Please stop doubting my intentions. I am only going with you to help you. If anything does happen to you, I can take care of the two of you.”

When Raquella heard Frank’s statements, she burst out laughing. “Aren’t you worried you’ll be infected as well?” After all, being infected with this disease will be fatal. In addition, how am I to explain to the Jonesons if something were to happen to him?

For some reason, Raquella was comforted by Frank’s somewhat naive declaration. “While I know you’re doing it out of love, and I am very grateful to you for that, how am I going to justify what happens if you do end up sick?” she asked.

Naturally, he had also thought of that, so he smiled confidently and said, “Don’t worry about that. I’ll settle it, so leave it to me. Even if I do wind up sick or in trouble, I can take responsibility for it.” He then shot her a look. “Stop taking responsibility for everything. I don’t need you to take care of me, and you don’t need to be responsible for me.”
