Chapter 272 Words Uttered In Your Sleep

The mountain at night was a little cold, and it was raining, so the temperature kept lowering. Hearst wasn't able to wear any of his clothes since they were soaked in the rain. He got a cold in the heavily rain, and his body temperature rose. With the dim light, Heidy noticed that there was something wrong with his face.

She stretched out her hand and placed it on his forehead. With a serious look on her face, she asked, "Do you have a fever?"

With a heavy head, Hearst replied in a low and hoarse voice, "It doesn't matter. I'll be all right soon."

"Dad has a fever. What should we do, mom? Dad, do you bring any medicine with you?"

Hearst shook his head and said with a smile, "No. I didn't expect that I'm so fragile."

These days, in order to distract himself, he had spent most of his time on work. He was too tired to bear the pressure. So he caught a cold after getting wet in the rain, and now he was frozen in the night. It was impossible for him not to have a fever under such torment.

Heidy looked inside. She said to Gavin, "Gavin, take your daddy inside. It is warmer there. I am going to look around to see if there is a washbasin." Then she searched around the cabin.

Gavin followed her order and took Hearst to a warmer place. She got a bowl from the corner, went outside the wooden house. She stretched out her hands out in the rain, and the rainwater trickled from the eaves and dripped in the bowl. After a while, she returned to the room. The room had fire and it was not so cold as outside.

Hearst happened to have several disposable towels in his bag. she dipped the towel in the bowl and wrung the water, and wiped gently on Hearst's body. Seeing her serious look, Hearst's eyes flashed with a strange light. With a heavy mind, he said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Heidy halted and spoke in a calm tone, "Don't thank me. I don't want Gavin to lose his father."

Hearing her words, he wore a faint smile on his face. Seeing her gently movement, he couldn't help but look at her in the eyes. Slowly, he felt a little sleepy. He felt dizzy because of the fever. So Heidy found a warm spot, so he could have a rest.

Hearst lied on the ground with his eyes closed and his lips tightly pressed together. Seeing his poor face, Heidy sighed slightly. She stood up and walked quietly to the door. Standing in the cold wind under the eaves, she went to take the rainwater again.

When she went back inside the hut, she only heard Hearst muttering something to himself. "Are you okay?" With a worried look on her face, Heidy walked up to him and put her hand on his forehead to check his temperature. But her hand was a little cold since it dipped in frigid rainwater just now. So she leaned forward with her forehead against his.

When she was about to

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

she couldn't accept me."

"Humph! My father doesn't like you. He loves my mother. Last night when Dad had a fever, he had been calling mom. He didn't even call you. You are a bad woman. I don't want to talk to you," Gavin shouted and ran upstairs in a hurry.

Cathy stiffened. Looking at Gavin's back, she murmured in confusion, "Doesn't Hearst love me?"

She stood up and went inside slowly. She remembered that Hearst had treated her very well these days. In her eyes, when a man was good to a woman, it meant that he liked her. "Yes, Hearst likes me," But why... Sometimes, I don't think he is not really happy?"

Her cell phone rang all of a sudden. She saw it was her grandmother's number, and she pressed the answer key, "Hello..."

On the other side of the phone, when Mrs. Miao heard her voice, she asked with concern, "How are you doing, Janet? Are you happy there? Didn't he treat you well?"

Holding her phone, Cathy blankly said. "I'm good, Hearst is nice to me and I'm happy, too. Just now, Gavin told me that Hearst didn't really like me. He still love Heidy. Grandma, is that true? If so, am I a bad person? I snatched Hearst away from her?"

On hearing this, Mrs. Miao smiled and said, "You silly girl, don't overthink it. You don't need to feel guilty about it. If you are happy, and that is enough. Understand?"

"But if what Gavin said is true, I will be a bad girl," said Cathy with concern.

"Don't worry, he is just a kid. He knows nothing about it. Hearst treated you well, so he wanted leave his wife. It meant that he really loved you. So don't think too much in the future. You just need to know that the man you love will treat you well for the rest of your life. That's enough."

"Okay," said Cathy, and hung up the phone. She stared blankly ahead, losing in thought. An indescribable feeling arose in her heart.
