Chapter 15: She Ran Away

Alvera was nervous, but she managed to control her emotions.

"Mr. Francois, you're not well. You'd better sit down," she said.

"Do you really think that I don't have a family doctor?"

Alvera was stunned for a moment. "So you're fine now?"

"Do I look like I'm not? I can show you if you like," he replied.

"No need," Alvera replied immediately, "Looks like I didn't need to get the medicine after all. I'll go back to the hospital, then."

"You did just remind me, you're my wife. I haven't done my duty as a husband yet. Since you're not sick, you don't need to stay in the hospital. Go upstairs and take a bath," he said.

Alvera looked at him. He was bad at acting as well, but his hormones were obviously out of control.

She had to stay away from him, but resistance was not a good idea right now.

...

She listened to him and went upstairs.

She remembered that he also took a bath next door while she was showering yesterday.
