Chapter 19 You’re Just A Dog I Used To Take Care Of

Eileen finally fell asleep after taking two painkillers.

It wasn’t until three in the morning when cold sweat beaded at her forehead, and she began to wheeze.

Eric looked up from his laptop, reaching out to put a hand to her forehead and cheeks. “Her temperature’s dropped. I think her fever’s going down.”

Sharon was making her way over with some water. “Mr. Snow, let me take care of her! You’ve got work. tomorrow, don’t wear yourself out.”

Eric had still come in the end. Sharon knew that Eric did not have feelings for Eileen, but still treated. her like a little sister.

“I’m alright. Has she taken her painkillers?”

Sharon said, “Yes, at around ten.”

“It’s best not to take too much of those.” Eric wrung the towel in the bowl of water dry, wiping the cold. sweat away from Eileen’s forehead. “You should rest instead, Sharon. I’ve taken a half day off

tomorrow.”

Sharon looked at Eileen, then at Eric. “Alright then…”

“No…” Eileen croaked from the bed, her voice feeble. I want Sharon… don’t go…”

Eileen had actually been awake for a while, but did not want to appear so after hearing Eric’s voice. She did not want to see him at all.

Sharon hurried over, stroking Eileen’s hand tenderly. “Alright… I won’t go, I’ll stay!”

“Mr. Snow, Eileen wants to be around me. I think you should just let me watch over her.”

“Alright. I’ll be next door, let me know if anything happens.”

“Yes, Mr. Snow.”

Eric’s expression was cold again when he closed the door behind him.

Eileen opened her eyes slowly, watching him disappear from sight before saying. “Sharon, you should rest too. I’m really fine.”

“Did the pain wake you up again?” Sharon wiped away her tears, her chest aching.

“No, I’m much better now.”
