Chapter 74
Aimee’s pov
I was so worried about the two kids upstairs that I said to Dexter, “it’s getting late and it’s not convenient today. I won’t keep you here.”
Dexter nodded. Before leaving, he said in a gentle voice, “take care of yourself. Don’t be too tired.”
I smiled.
A moment later, the Dexter got in the car and left.
Penn and I watched his car drive away in the yard before we turned around and entered the villa.
We each took two big bottles of spray and went back to the bedroom. We only saw three kids lying on the bed in low spirits, and Lundy was a little confused by the fever.
“Mommy…” Aviva and Cyrus were still in a daze when they saw them.
I walked quickly to them and touched their foreheads. I felt a burning heat.
Seeing this, I quickly took the spray and sprayed it all over the little guys’ bodies.
After spraying the spray on the kids, I turned around to look at the man behind me and handed the spray to him. “Mr. Carter, go to the bathroom to deal with it.”
He nodded and took the spray into the bathroom.
I opened another bottle and simply cleaned myself in the bedroom.
After that, I sprayed some water in every corner of the room and disinfected it with alcohol.
When I finished, Penn came out of the bathroom.
“Take the kids out. They can’t stay in this room,” I urged.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Hearing this, Penn immediately turned around and carried the three kids downstairs.
It’s late at night. When I finished my work and was about to go downstairs to see the kids, I turned around and bumped into a hard chest.
Before I could react, the man had already reached out to hold my waist.
I was stunned for a few seconds before I suddenly came to my senses. I immediately stepped back from the man. “Why are you back?”
“The kids are asleep. I’ll come upstairs to have a look. What can I do for you?” he replied in a low voice.
Hearing this, I nodded slightly and raised the spray in my hand. “The spray has been handled here. Next, your car needs to be completely handled.”
Penn and I went downstairs one after the other and sprayed disinfection spray on his car.
“Is there anything valuable in the car?” after the disinfection, I looked back to confirm with him. “Open the window tonight to breathe in the wind. You can sit there tomorrow.”
He shook his head.
So I lowered the four windows to the bottom of the car. At last, I reminded, “remember to spray the disinfection spray on your house tomorrow. There is an element in the grand moon that once it touches a person’s skin, it will stick to it. And the particles are very small, and it is easy to float into the air, so it is very infectious.”
He replied in a deep voice and followed me into the villa unhurriedly.
After the kids used the spray, their symptoms had been alleviated a lot. They only needed to wait for the fever to go down.
However, it was obviously uncomfortable to sleep on the sofa, and the three kids didn’t sleep well.
“Mommy, Daddy…” Cyrus opened his eyes in a daze and murmured unconsciously when he saw us come in.
When I heard the name of the little guy, I thought he was in a dream, but my heart couldn’t help shrinking. I looked at the man beside me subconsciously and felt guilty. I was afraid that this man would realize the origin of the two kids.
I said as if nothing had happened, “take them to the guest room on the first floor. They can still live in the room on the first floor.”
Penn withdrew his gaze and bent down to pick up the two little ones before walking towards the guest room. I carefully carried Lundy and followed behind him.
After settling the three little ones, the two of us adults looked at each other. The second floor was not suitable for living and there was only one guest room on the first floor. Fiona’s room was the only option left.
I was hesitant about where to let Penn stay when he spoke up first, “I’ll make do with the sofa.” After speaking, he lifted his foot and walked out.
I furrowed my eyebrows and thought for a moment. There were only a few hours left until dawn, and even if we slept, it wouldn’t necessarily be a good night’s sleep. Besides, I really had no place to let Penn stay.
Thinking this way, I didn’t say anything more and just silently took a thin blanket from the guest room and handed it to Penn. He took it with his hand and said in a deep voice,
“It’s not early, you should go in and rest too.” I nodded slightly and remembered Cyrus’ dream muttering just now. My heart felt strange and I couldn’t help but explain,
“Just now… Cyrus had a dream and said some things. Mr. Carter, please don’t mind.” “Aviva and Cyrus have never had a father since they were young, so…”
Seeing that he didn’t speak for a while, I was still uneasy and added a sentence nervously. Before I could finish my sentence, the man interrupted me in a cold tone, “I know, but it’s just a child’s dream talk. I won’t take it to heart.”
Hearing this, I was stunned for a few seconds, and then I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the man’s tone was not good, at least his attitude was clear.
Besides, it seemed that he didn’t seem to know the background of the two kids.
I didn’t dare to say anything more. After a brief greeting, I entered the Fiona room.
Lying on the bed, I felt complicated and didn’t fall asleep for a long time.
On the second morning, Penn and I went to the kids’ room early and waited for them to wake up.
When the three kids woke up, I checked them one by one. When I saw that the red spots on their bodies had faded away, I was relieved.
After the examination, I stood up and asked him to leave.
“Now that it’s dawn, Mr. Carter, please take Lundy home. Your family also needs to deal with his wound. The sooner, the better.”
Lundy curled her lips reluctantly. “Daddy will go back by himself.”
“Lundy…” I opened my mouth but only called the little guy’s name. I couldn’t say anything to refuse him.
The man’s low voice came from the other side. There was a hint of irony in his tone. “According to Miss Miller, there should be some residue of the grand moon in my house now. I’m afraid it’s not convenient for me to take Lundy back. If Miss Miller is not convenient, I have to send him to the company.”
