A Sudden Dad✔

(Eng) Chapter 10

When Will's consciousness returns and he opens his eyes...

He was still on the floor. No one helped him. No one.

He crawled slowly to the nightstand next to the bed, took his cell phone. He looked for Jo Eun Seol's name in the contact list, then called her. He should have done this earlier before the cold got worst until he passed out.

Seol was surprised to see her employer's name flashing on her phone screen, "why did he call me?"

"Hello, William-ssi?"

"Help me..." the man's voice sounded weak.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I am sick."

"Where are you now?"

"In my bedroom."

Leaving Danmuji who was finally able to sleep peacefully in the bed, Seol entered Will's room. The man was sitting leaning his head against the edge of the spring bed, closing his eyes. Seol crouched down by his side, touching Will's forehead which was burning like hell fire inside.

“It's so hot. If you're sick, why don't you sleep on the bed, instead sit on the floor? Even though it's carpeted, it's still cold,” Seol helped Will up to his bed.

"I just passed out in there," Will pointed towards the bathroom. There was still a broken flower vase there.

"Why didn't you call me earlier? If you ask, I'll definitely help. Are you too proud to ask for help?"

"I called you, but you probably didn't hear because all the rooms in this house are specially designed to muffle sound."

"Why?" Seol was curious.

"That's because..." Will paused for a moment before continuing, "I don't like noise."

Seol sneered, "doesn't like noise, but often goes to discotheques. Not in sync at all."

"Hey, didn't you say we have to protect each other's privacy? This has entered the realm of privacy."

"Yes, yes, I understand."

After turning on the humidifier, Seol went out for a while, then came back while tearing up something she had brought. Something was then pressed against Will's forehead, giving it a cold, gel-like sensation.

"What is this?" Will touched his forehead.

“Fever plaster,” Seol said as she cleaned up the broken flower vase.

"Fever plaster? The one the kids usually wear?"

"Yeah, just think of it as first aid."

"What? What kind of first aid is this? It doesn't even cover half of my forehead."

“His mouth is apparently still very healthy for someone who is sick,” Seol muttered sarcastically.

"What? What did you say?"

“I'll throw this away first,” Seol said, ignoring Will's call who still wanted to nag her.

Before long, Seol returned with a tray filled with a glass of water, paracetamol, and a bowl of porridge. She thought Will probably not have eaten since morning since he hadn't been seen since yesterday, even Seol thought Will wasn't home.

“Eat first, then take the medicine,” Seol handed the bowl and spoon to Will.

"Feed me, please," Will pleaded in a spoiled tone.

Seol chuckled in annoyance.

"I'm sick, I even fainted earlier."

Seol let out a resigned sigh. But she did not immediately feed Will. Her head turned here and there, looking for something.
