GoodReadRaymond heard what Scarlett had said. He looked up a t her and said, "I don't know." He said as he coughed. His face was pallor. He looked drawn.
'He looks poor." Scarlett arched her eyebrows and thought of the thermometer. She said, "Tis up." Only then did Raymond think of it. He took out the thermometer from his armpit and handed it to her.
Originally, Scarlett didn't plan to check it for him. But he had handed it to her, and she could only take it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe thermometer was warmed by Raymond's body. The temperature was a little high. She frowned and checked the thermometer. She said, "39.6°C." Raymond raised his hand to touch his forehead and nodded.
When he left home, he had had a fever already. It was not strange that his temperature raised to 39.6°C now.
Scarlett put the thermometer away and glanced at him coldly. She said, "You should go to the hospital." He said, "No." He looked up at her doggedly.
Scarlett smiled and said angrily, "It's none of my business." 'He is more than thirty years old. Why is he like a kid when he is ill?" Scarlett said, "Eat sporridge." She took his phone and said, "Please lendyour phone." Raymond saw her walk away with his phone but didn't eat the porridge.
He knew why she took his phone. She had blocked the phone numbers of Alexander and him. She took his phone because she wanted to call Alexander and ask Alexander to pick him up.
Raymond guessed right. After Scarlett took his phone, she called Alexander immediately.
She still remembered Alexander's phone number and even didn't need to look for it.
Alexander answered the phone soon, "Ray?" Scarlett said, "Mr. Smith, this is Scarlett speaking." Hearing Scarlett's voice, Alexander asked the surrounding people to shut up immediately. He said," Hi, Scarlett.

Alexander said, "Don't worry. He is healthy all the time. It's not serious. You are beautiful and kind. Please let him have a rest tonight. He will recover tomorrow!" Scarlett clicked her tongue and said, "Mr. Smith, do you mean that you won't chere to pick him up?" He said, "I'm not available now. Please take care of him tonight. Don't worry. | will pick him up tomorrow morning! It's a deal! | have to hang up first! Bye!" Then he hung up directly.
Anyway, he wouldn't chere to pick Raymond up tonight. 'Although Raymond has a fever, he won't die.’ Scarlett looked at her phone screen. Then she looked back at Raymond who was lying on the couch.
'He is poor. Although he is ill, no one cares about him." However, she wasn't that nice. She even let him cinto her home. She wouldn't do anything else for him.
She returned the phone to Raymond and said," Alexander won't chere to pick you up." Raymond frowned and said, "I will leave here after | take a rest." She said, "OK." Then she walked upstairs.
Raymond was left alone in the large living room on the second floor. He looked at her back and laughed at himself.
He knew that she wouldn't take care of him.
After Alexander hung up, a man asked in surprise," Alexander, Raymond has a fever of 39.6°C! Don't you cto pick him up?" Alexander glanced at the man and said, "You know what? I'm creating a chance for Raymond! Otherwise, Raymond still will be single even after Scarlett has children and grandchildren." Alexander paused and touched the cards. He said, " Con! Whose turn it is?" ‘Forget it. Playing cards is more interesting than picking Raymond up."
