Chapter 15 Catching a Cold

After Dr. Louise arrived, he took Erin’s temperature and prescribed her some medicine. He also gave her a shot to reduce her fever. Originally the shot was to be administered at her posterior as it was the most effective, but Chandler didn’t allow that.

In the end, the shot was administered to her hand. This procedure could’ve been done in a few minutes but in the end, it became a 20-minute affair. While waiting for the device to administer the shot, Alan Louise sat in a corner, watching as Chandler stood. He had a hint of a smile on his face.

Chandler’s eyes flashed and mumbled, “Who said it’s the first time?”

“Oh, who did you bring home then?” Alan asked, disbelief coloring his face.

“Why are you talking so much? I called you here to help her.” Chandler’s expression showed that he did not want to continue with this conversation. Seeing his reluctance, Alan also stopped asking.

The two men sat in silence for five minutes before Alan said, “Did you know that Claire is back?”

Chandler intentionally made his tone indifferent. “Yeah.”

Alan glanced at him and continued, “I heard that she’s back for good. She broke up with Matthew Burgess.”

This news shocked Chandler, but all he said was, “Okay, what does that have to do with me?”
