It rained more and more heavily. Her frail body hurt badly.
She felt weak and numb after a long walk. But she couldn't stop, because she didn't know where she
really belonged to.
Passers-by looked at her from time to time, but no one was willing to reach out a helping hand to
shelter her from rain.
When she was exhausted and fell to the ground, a luxurious black Bentley stopped by the roadside. A
man in a suit came out from the car and walked towards her with an umbrella in his hand.
The footsteps came closer and closer. Lying on the ground, Euralia stroked her unkempt hair back from
her eyes and looked up in surprise. She shouted a name.
"John."
Bill gazed softly at the woman on the ground. At this moment, he only had sympathy for her. Even
though he hated her mention of that man most.
He held the umbrella for her while reaching out one hand to pull her up.
"Go home with me."
At the sight of Bill, Euralia instantly became unkind.
People usually only showed their worst self to the closest person, so did she.
"You followed me again?" Her eyes were full of resentment.
Bill didn't want to say more. She was wet all over, so she had to go back and change her clothes in
case of being sick.
He squatted down and pulled her up.
"I don't need your concern. I don't want to owe you anything." Instead of being grateful, she started to
complain.
"Don't be naughty, Euralia." He was averse to her acid remarks. He was a man of tolerance, but he did
have the bottom line.
Carrying her luggage, Euralia went forward quickly, and Bill followed her closely with an umbrella.
"Stop it!" He grasped her arm furiously.
With a wave of her hand, the umbrella in his hand rolled to the side of the road in the wind. Bill's body
was soon wet by the rain.
He went back to Mandy's home after work. Mandy told him that Euralia didn't want to live with him, so
she just moved away. As soon as he got the news, he immediately came out to look for her.
But she didn't put his worries in her heart at all.
"You made me do this! If it weren't for you, Mandy and I wouldn't have ended up like this." She even
vented all the responsibility for the end of their friendship and resentment to him.
Her hoarse voice made Bill couldn't bear to argue with her and he didn't allow her to stay in the rain.
Regardless of her resistance, he forcefully lifted her up and walked towards the car.
"Bill, please put me down!"
She exerted all her strength to struggle as the blood in her arm dyed his white shirt red.
Her body was cold. The more she struggled, the more dizzy she felt. Meanwhile, the wound on her arm
was painful from the rain water. She suddenly stopped struggling and passed out.
Bill was extremely nervous. He picked her up and hurried to the car to take her home.
In Euralia's room, the doctor was checking her. Bill was pacing back and forth.
"Mr. Bill, lady Euralia is fine. She fell down just because she got a fever after getting wet in the rain."
The doctor reported to him after the check-up.
Bill nodded and asked the servant to send the doctor out. He stayed with her alone.
His heart ached when he saw her wrapped arm, but he couldn't help feeling a little strange. Yesterday,
Mandy said that she ran away from home because she was angry with him. But why did her arm get
hurt?
It was not until the afternoon that Euralia woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the face she hated so much, so she just closed her eyes to
pretend to be sleeping.
Bill was so smart that he quickly realized that. Actually, he had noticed that she was angry and
pretended to be asleep when she already woke up.
However, he did not expose her at once. Instead, he stood up, walked out and ordered Terri to bring in
the lunch. Euralia didn't eat anything for a long time and her stomach was growling.
Lying on the bed, she smelt the flavor of the delicious foods, so she covered herself with the quilt and
gulped.
"My lady, please wake up. You haven't eaten anything for a long time." Terri said worriedly while looking
at her in bed.
As soon as she heard Terri's voice, she jumped out of bed. She used too much strength that the wound
on the arm made her let out a scream of pain.
"Miss, you are awake. Be careful of the wound." Terri was surprised and delighted. She rushed to
support her and took care of her during the eating time.
While she was in a bad mood, she still gulped down the food.
Terri was relieved to see her eating with relish.
"Slow down, my lady. Take your time."
Just as she was stuffing the food into her mouth, Bill suddenly appeared at the door.
She glanced at her, paused for a while and continued to eat.
She decided to ignore him!
"Terri, you may leave now." Said Bill in a low voice.
Terri nodded obediently and stood up, but Euralia grabbed her hand.
"Terri, please stay with me."
"Miss, I still have something to do. Let Mr. Bill keep you company." Terri softly pushed her hand away,
got up and left.
Sitting next to her, Bill was staring at her eating.
She ignored him and went on sleeping after eating and drinking.
"What about the wound on your arm?" He suspected that the wound in her arm had something to do
with Mandy. He learned from her words before.
"Do you really want to know? It's all because of you. Your love has hurt a girl who loves you." She
uncovered the quilt and shouted.
Her friendship with Mandy was broken because of him.
Bill frowned and finally came to his senses.
"Did Mandy hurt you?"
"It's none of your business. It's just that I lost a friend. We had a fight because of you. It's all your fault!"
She really cared about their friendship.
It was a pity that everything could not go back, and her only vent was to the person in front of her, Bill.
No emotion was shown on his face at her incessant censure. He listened patiently to her until she
finally worked off her anger.
"Take it easy. Drink some water."
The doctor reminded her that she needed more water since the fever had just left. He had tried his best
to take her home to avoid direct conflict, so he could only endure.
However, Euralia didn't take it. She looked at somewhere else with a snort.
Seeing this, Bill picked up the cup and sat beside her bed.
"What are you doing?" She moved to the other side of the bed out of instinct.
"You must drink more water. It's good for your health." Then he brought the water to her mouth.
"Who knows if there is medicine in the water?" She looked down at the water in the cup and said
sarcastically.
She had to be alert since he touched her from time to time.
Bill was helpless. At this time, she still felt that he could have such a thought! So he took a small sip
himself to verify that it was not poisoned and gave it to her.
"If the poison was made by me, could I drink it at ease?"
"I still can't trust you. What if there is something else in the water?" She said with particular meaning.
Anger rose in Bill's heart as he read between her lines. He hadn't drugged her yet, and even if he
wanted to have her, it would be aboveboard!
"What? Am I right? I know you're up to no good. I was so stupid to regard you as my own brother
before. Euralia retorted sharply.
"Drink it!" He ordered directly.
"No, I won't drink. I won't drink!" She was determined to go against him.
He could do nothing to her making trouble out of nothing. It was time for her to take the medicine, so he
picked up several pills.
"Now that you don't want to drink water, take these pills first."
"No way!"
She refused without hesitation.
He took the medicine, walked over and held her mouth. Her mouth was so flat like a duck's mouth, and
her teeth were still grinded together.
"Never even try to force me to take medicine in this way." She spoke with a lisp.
He suddenly kissed her little mouth.
Being taken advantage of by him again, she hurled abuse at him.
"You..."
He took the opportunity to put the pill into her mouth and gave her a glass of water. He pinched her
nose. She was forced to take the medicine and some water.
"Bill! You forced me to take it again!" Euralia wiped her mouth with one hand, snatched the glass from
his hand and smashed it onto the floor with the other.
He did everything for her good, but she didn't understand.
After a moment of silence, Bill took a deep breath, restrained his emotions that were about to lose
control and patiently persuaded her.
"Just sleep." He caressed her half face and coaxed her.
"Is the back of your hand that was bitten by me not painful enough last time?" She opened her mouth
and tried to bite his hand.
He reached out the other hand to hold the other side of her face. Then he hold her neck!
"Have a good rest."
"I don't need your hypocritical concern, Bill."
"Do you think all my care for you is just fake?"
"Yes! You are using me all the time."
Her willfulness always hurt the people who loved her the most.
Bill didn't lose his temper at once. He was pissed off and left.
Not long after he walked out, Terri came to her room.
"My lady, is Mr. Bill mad at you again?"
"I'm mad at him. I'm too impatient to talk to him." She answered sulkily.
"We all know how kind he is to you." Although Bill left in anger, he did not forget to tell Terri to take
good care of her.
"Well, don't mention him in front of me. I want to have a rest. Terri, you'd better go out." Euralia couldn't
listen to anyone's advice now.
Terri had no choice but to leave her alone in the room.
After Terri left, the first thought came to her mind was to leave. She stood up and went to the balcony to
have a look. There were several bodyguards outside the door.
She knew that in order to prevent her from leaving, Bill would send more people to guard the gate. This
was not the first time. She always sneaked out when she had a good time, and he had sent people to
guard her safety many times.
She went back to her room and began to make a plan of her escape!
Finally, she used the most old method, that was, to pretend to be sick! She was quite sure of the
success of this trick.
Thinking of this, she closed the door immediately and hopped in the room to raise her body
temperature. Then she covered herself tightly with quilt on the bed.
"Terri, Terri!" She opened the door and called her in a feeble voice.
Terri came up from downstairs and saw Euralia's red face. She touched her forehead and it felt
burning.
"Miss, you have a fever again!"
Euralia nodded eagerly.
"Hurry up! Take me to the hospital!"
