Chapter 24 Sam Had a High Fever

Damon saw Barry crying his eyes out. He was about to head to the study to tell Leon what was going on, but before he could, he heard Barry running upstairs.

In his room, Sam was curled up in the corner of the bed, clutching a pillow, sobbing so hard he was shaking.

He hated his dad and didn't want anything to do with him anymore! He didn't want them to make up! He just wanted to run away with his mom!

The more Sam thought about it, the sadder he got. With Tiffany, he never experienced the kind of scolding or yelling he faced now.

Sam's heart was full of hate for Leon. He cried until he was completely worn out and dizzy. And he missed Tiffany more and more.

"Mommy... Mommy! I don't want Daddy anymore... I hate him..." Sam cried himself to sleep.

When Leon finished his work, it was already 8 PM. He came out of the study and saw Damon standing in the living room, looking worried and staring at Barry's room upstairs.

"What's up? Is he still throwing a fit?" Leon asked, frowning and looking confused.

"Mr. Cooper, Barry hasn't budged since you laid into him. He hasn't eaten, hasn't made a peep." Damon was worried Barry couldn't handle not eating.

He had knocked on the door, and Barry seemed out of it, only saying he wasn't hungry before going back to sleep.

"Even if he's sulking, he needs to think about his health." Leon frowned and went upstairs to knock on the door. But there was no response, just heavy silence.

Sensing something amiss, Leon pushed the door open. The room was dark, but Barry was typically afraid of the dark!

Leon had a bad feeling and quickly turned on the light. Barry was lying on the bed, his breathing all over the place.
