1. Who is Sick?

“In all the time I’ve known you, I’ve only heard your panic twice. When your lover was sick and now,” Wela explained, half teasing.

Frank’s jaw tightened again. He thought that Wela had valuable information, but apparently not?

“I’m not panicking.”

“You’re panicking inside, Frankie. Now, instead of denying it, you should explain your lover’s condition to me.”

Frank clenched his fists. He could feel the cold on his palms. “It’s not Kara who’s sick, it’s her family.”

“Oh, she forbade you from interfering? That’s why you asked me to check?”

Frank scowled, but couldn’t deny it. “Yes. Can you handle it directly? I don’t want anyone else to know.”

Suddenly, Wela’s small laugh echoed. “My Frankie, you have finally become a very caring adult man, huh?”

“Stop teasing.”

Hearing that cold voice, Wela stopped laughing. “Yes, I really have to stop now. The conference will continue in a moment. I’ll let you know once I get the news.”

“Can you do that quickly?”

Instead of getting an answer, Frank heard a disconnected telephone tone. Wide-eyed, he checked the screen.

“Damn,” he grumbled. He didn’t expect his best friend to have other ways to tease him. “Now what should I do? I can’t just keep quiet.”

While tapping the steering wheel, Frank checked Jeremy’s car. As his eyes fell on the black hoodie and hat hanging on the back of the car, he squinted.

“Isn’t it okay if you don’t get caught?” A crooked smile appeared on his face.

Meanwhile, Kara just arrived at Louis’ room. As soon as she pushed the door, her eyes caught her son’s pale face. He was sitting in the hospital bed, propped up by pillows with Emily by his side.

“Louis….”

“Mommy?”

The toddler’s eyes lit up. Kara couldn’t bear to see it anymore. “Honey, how are you? Does it still hurt?” Kara hugged her son carefully. Louis put his right arm around his mother’s neck.

“A little bit, but I can hold it in. I’m a strong man, Mommy.”
