Daddy is a boy too!
Hearing this, Paige almost laughed out loud sitting in the bathtub. She saw Enrico’s face turn dark, and then he didn’t care about getting his bathrobe wet, and just sat down on the bathtub wall next to her, and snorted at the phone, “I’m not like you, my precious.”
His voice was lazy, with a lofty air of looking down on everything.
Precious…
Paige pursed her lips as she listened.
She lifted her face, but saw Enrico holding his phone up to his face, looking down at her with a faint smile. He ran his hand over her smooth neck, his voice becoming husky and sexy as he added, “Paige, don’t you agree?”
Oh, this time Paige was still speaking to her.
She sank under the water, looking at him helplessly, when she heard Gabriel’s voice coming from the phone, “Why? We’re both boys, Olivia. Am I different from Daddy?”
There is no difference.
Hearing this question, Olivia didn’t know what to say over there, so she laughed dryly twice before reluctantly explaining, “Gabriel, Mommy and Daddy are adults and are married. They live in one room without distinguishing between you and me, so they are different from you. You are just a little child.”
“Oh…”
Gabriel thoughtfully pondered, if Mommy and Daddy sleeping in one room doesn’t distinguish between you and me, then how is he distinguished? He used to sleep with Mommy too, and he doesn’t want to be distinguished.
Not at all.
Thinking this, Gabriel said seriously, “Mommy, when I grow up, I’ll marry you and Daddy together!”
That way, they won’t separate you from me either.
Over here, Enrico’s hand was sliding up and down, in and out, in the milky bath water.
Paige tensed her body and glared at him silently. Enrico smiled and lowered himself to kiss her, but suddenly this sentence poured into his ears, and his handsome face instantly turned black.
“You’re dreaming!”
Enrico scowled and scolded, then asked, “Do you know the Three Character Classic by heart? Can you count to 20? How’s your penmanship? How many characters can you write?”
As soon as he heard about schoolwork, Gabriel immediately wilted, smiling stiffly, ‘Hey, it’s pretty good, pretty good, the teacher even praised me today.”
“What did she praise you for?’ Paige was a little interested.
She hadn’t even paid attention to Gabriel’s recent academic performance.
As soon as he heard Paige’s voice, Gabriel perked up again, happily leaning in front of the camera, his tone exceptionally proud, “My teacher praised me for the nice drawings I did in the Three Character Classic!”
“You go to bed now!”
Enrico couldn’t bear to hear another word, so he hung up the phone directly, and threw the phone onto the folded bathrobe next to him.
“Why are you so mean to him? Children are very fragile inside,”
Paige couldn’t help but say to him.
And hang up the phone.
“Fragile? Gabriel? Are you sure?”
Enrico sat on the edge of the bathtub and snorted.
“…”
Paige thought about it. Gabriel kept saying that he wanted to marry her. Okay, he’s not the kind of fragile child.
Other people’s children have good grades and good health, and their son… has a good attitude.
After Gabriel’s interruption, Enrico’s desire to control completely subsided. After washing Paige, he carried her to bed and slept without any distractions.
Paige was also exhausted after the day’s events, and she rested her head in Enrico’s arm, shrinking into his embrace and falling asleep.
His arms were always warm, and lying next to him felt like a constant source of strength.
Paige slept soundly until the sound of an ambulance siren and a car horn outside woke her. She opened her eyes dazedly and looked at the darkness in front of her.
A large hand was placed over her ear.
Paige hugged the man next to her and murmured, “No, I’m already awake.”
Upon hearing this, the man next to her suddenly got up. Even in the dark, she could feel that his face must be very dark right now.
She sat up, yawned, and then checked her phone again. It was 2:00 a. m.
She looked out the window. The blackout curtains were thick, but there was still a faint light from outside, and the sound of ambulances kept ringing, disturbing her.
Enrico lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He walked to the window, pulled back the curtains, and looked out with a cold face.
Paige also got out of bed, walked over, and saw that on the road in front of the hotel, ambulances were whizzing past one after the other, appearing and disappearing in quick succession.
At this point in time, the frequent dispatch of ambulances pointed to only one thing.
Paige called Nick and asked about the situation. Sure enough, there was a gathering of patients here, patients infected with the Ferris wheel virus.
Paige stood at the window, watching the ambulances pass by outside, and she no longer felt sleepy.
The epidemic has broken out in four places, and there is no cure.
The epidemic here will soon make the news, and this place will become a new sensitive area.
She asked Nick to find a way to get some more medical equipment and supplies sent here to contain the situation.
Nick said that there will be more and more sensitive areas like this, and the supplies they have on hand will become less and less.
The current epidemic in Country A is like a rotten cloth bag. No matter how hard she tries to mend it, it will not be able to keep up with the rate of decay.
…
Paige had no desire to sleep anymore, so she got dressed and left the room with Enrico. The two of them took the elevator to the first floor.
As they walked out the hotel door, a cool breeze hit them.
Paige was pulled into Enrico’s arms, and he pulled his trench coat open to shield her from the wind. Paige stood in the small square in front of the hotel, watching the ambulances pass by on the road, the red lights flashing, their eyes silent and sad.
Jeremy was dead, but the problem he had created could not end with his death.
With each passing ambulance, Paige saw a broken family.
She heard footsteps behind her, and when she turned around, she saw Brangelina, Beinice, and Brangelina all get off, followed by Jaden and Alonso walking out the front door.
No one can sleep soundly on a night like this.
The night wind blew, and Beinice’s face sank. With some emotion, she said, “We, the Folsom family, have been thinking about revenge for generations, thinking about the chaos in Country A. Now that it’s really chaotic, there’s no talk of the thrill of revenge.”
The innocent people infected in these ambulances have nothing to do with the Folsom family’s family massacre from that year.
“When did the Folsom family start thinking like this?”
Alonso was looking at the situation on the road, and when he heard this, he couldn’t help but look at Beinice, very surprised.
He had drifted on the lake for all these years, and the outside world had changed beyond recognition. Had the Folsom family given up on revenge?
“What do you know,”
Beinice didn’t want to look at her. He had listened to Brangelina’s instructions, and he didn’t say that Paige was Alonso’s daughter.
“Country A should have been rebuilt a long time ago, I just didn’t expect it to be through this method,” Alonso said in a deep voice.
Paige looked at him sideways and asked him with a try-it-out attitude, “Did Enrico’s mother mention the Map of the Living in Purgatory to you?”
