Chapter 500: Feed Me
Nate nodded, “Indeed. That monster is the Ghost Doctor too. There’s something wrong with Ethan’s body, and I am afraid it has a connection with that evil man,”
Fannie noticed Nate clenched his fist, “Hey, Ethan will be okay, we need to find Stephen asap, as he is the only one that can help our race,”
Nate didn’t answer; however, he decided to swallow his pride and look for Stephen.

Kylie felt someone pushing her when she was still in her dream. “Mrs. Parker? Mrs. Parker!”
It wasn’t appropriate for the housekeeper to go inside, so he told Lucy to help him after transferring Ethan to the study room.
“Pupu?” Kylie opened her eyes. She sat up and yawned.
“Mr. Parker is in a terrible condition now,” Lucy said, and Kylie was wide awake in an instant.
“What did you say?” She stared at Lucy.
Lucy cried and told Kylie everything. “Mrs. Parker, Mr. Parker is in the … study room,”
Before she could finish, Kylie ran straight to the study.
Once she pushed the door open, she smelt strong disinfectant.
The doctor noticed Kylie and turned to look at the housekeeper. The housekeeper introduced her at once. “This is Mrs. Parker.”
“Oh, Mr. Parker’s immunity is low now. Please disinfect yourself before touching him.” The doctor handed Kylie a bottle of diluted alcohol.
Kylie washed her hands clean, then gently walked to the sofa.
Ethan’s face was abnormally red, and large drops of sweat rolled down from his forehead. Even the cushion under his head was wet with sweat.
“Ethan?” Kylie kissed his hand. “You’ll be fine.”
The housekeeper felt like crying again and turned around not to see the sad scene.
After having an infusion, Ethan gradually became conscious. He opened his eyes a little. When he found Kylie was by his side, he held her hand at once. “Why are you still awake?”
Kylie pouted. “You abandoned me alone and tolerated the pain yourself. Is it something you should do to your wife?”
Ethan’s sight fell on the housekeeper’s back, and the housekeeper stiffened all of a sudden.
Ethan understood what was going on, and he said to Kylie at the end, “I’m fine.”
Tears welled up in Kylie’s eyes. “You’re fine? Now you’re still telling me that you’re fine?”
Ethan did his best to raise his hand and pinched Kylie’s cheek. “Don’t worry, I won’t die before I see our ba…”
Without hesitation, Kylie covered his mouth to stop him from saying that.
Kylie raised a smile. “Have some water now.”
The housekeeper handed her a glass of water at once, then turned to face the wall again.
Ethan beamed at Kylie. “Feed me.”
Kylie glanced at the housekeeper, then the doctor, who was pretending to be busy. She had a mouthful of water and approached Ethan.
Ethan’s lips cracked, so Kylie comforted it with her tongue. Warm water flew into his mouth, and his Adam’s apple moved up and down.
“A little more,” he said.
Kylie didn’t hesitate and continued to feed water to Ethan with her own mouth.
“Have some sleep now.” Kylie lightly patted his big palm.
“I can’t sleep.” Ethan found it difficult to move his body.
“Let me help you wash your face.” Kylie stood up.
The was a bathroom in the study, but they seldom used it. The housekeeper brought a clean towel over, and Kylie washed it with warm water before using it.
“Ethan…” When she went back to the sofa, Ethan was already in a deep sleep.
Even though he was asleep now, Kylie still washed his face with great care.
When she washed the towel, Kylie asked the doctor, “Did he fall asleep or pass out?”
The doctor smiled. “I think he just fell unconscious again.”
“Well…” Kylie turned to look at Ethan.
“Mr. Parker wasn’t fully conscious just then, and it’s just a dream to him.” The doctor measured Ethan’s temperature again. “His temperature dropped a little, but it’s still not right. Mrs. Parker, if it’s possible, you can help him cool down physically.”
“I understand, thanks.” Kylie walked the doctor to the door in person.
Nate came on crutches at daybreak. “Where is he?”
“Don’t yell. Ethan might still be sleeping now.” Fannie knocked on his head.
Lucy welcomed and guided them to the dining room. “Please have some soup for breakfast. Mrs. Parker will be downstairs soon.”
“She’s still in her dream?” Nate snorted with disdain.
Lucy explained. “Mrs. Parker was by Mr. Parker’s side for a whole night, and she kept feeding water to him and wiping sweat off his body till Mr. Parker’s temperature is low now.”
Fannie placed a bowl of soup at Nate’s front, then asked Lucy, “How’s Kylie now? Is she injured?”
“No, Mrs. Parker is fine,” Lucy replied.
Seeing Nate staring at her, Fannie pushed the bowl forward a little. “You didn’t break your arm.”
Nate pulled his lips. “You didn’t treat me like that in the hospital.” Afterward, he ate the soup himself.
Half an hour later, Kylie went downstairs in clean clothing with her hair tied into a bun.
Nate hit the bowl against the dining table with great force, then questioned Kylie, “Ethan almost died because of you, and you’re going out in a new dress? Seriously?”
Fannie pulled Nate’s sleeve to stop him, but Nate raised his voice. “What? Am I wrong? If she had kept a distance away from Stephen, Ethan wouldn’t have been injured like that.”
Kylie stopped for a second, then kept on stepping downstairs. “No matter who has hurt Ethan for what reason, I’ll never forgive him.”
She walked to Nate and looked at his leg. “Thank you so much for what you’ve done. You’ve saved Ethan’s life. Please feel free to let me know whenever you need my help in the future.” Hearing that, Nate felt a little embarrassed.
“Ethan and I are close brothers. I don’t need you to thank me…” Nate lowered his voice, “but you still can’t leave Ethan behind and go out now.”
“Don’t say that. Kylie does that for a reason.” Fannie defended Kylie.
“What reason is more important than Ethan?” Nate argued.
Kylie sat down and prepared two bowls of soup. She placed one at the front of Fannie, then put another aside.
“I must ask for a leave from the director of Oh, Mother in person, and others can keep on shooting. I’ll go back to work again after Ethan gets better. Ben is also here with me, and I need to send him back.”
“Ben?” Fannie thought for a while. “Tory’s son?”
“Why do you send him back?” Nate hit the table standing up. “If we can’t catch Clown, we at least can catch Tory the asshole!”
“My father isn’t an asshole!” Ben showed up out of the blue. He walked to Kylie’s side and said with a serious face. “Mother Kylie, I’m not going back.”
“Why?” Kylie smiled. “Do you want to stay here and play with Pupu?”
“Didn’t father abduct Mother Kylie? You can hold me, hostage,” Ben said.
