Reynaldo silently carried me back to bed.
He pulled up the quilt and tucked me in again.
Seeing that he was about to leave, I quickly grabbed his arm.
I clung to his arm, crying hoarsely, “I really don’t want the doctor to come, don’t call the doctor for me… I’m fine..
“Have you had enough of making trouble?”
Reynaldo angrily pushed me down onto the bed.
He shouted at me, “Do you know how hot you are, your feet, if not treated soon, will be ruined.”
“I don’t want a doctor…” I cried, shaking my head stubbornly, “I don’t want a doctor even if I die… You’re not allowed to call a doctor for me, you’re not allowed…”
“Esmeralda!”
Reynaldo took a deep breath in anger, he growled at me, “What do you want, do you think I will feel sorry for you just because you have made yourself half–dead? Will I not punish you?”
“I don’t want a doctor…” I shook my head groggily, repeating the words in my mouth.
In my heart, I couldn’t help but mock myself, I had never really thought about wanting him to feel sorry for me.

I still had some self–awareness.
Reynaldo easily brushed me off his arm.
He silently picked up the basin and then went to the bathroom.
I looked at the hazy ceiling. feeling my body and head getting heavier.
I really wanted to sleep.
But what if the doctor comes later?
I clenched my teeth and struggled to keep the last bit of consciousness.
Soon, Reynaldo came out of the bathroom carrying a basin.
He placed the basin on the ground, then picked up a towel and wrung it half dry, and then he lifted the quilt to wipe my body.
I didn’t care about shame anymore.
It’s strange, though.
I used to wear clothes, and whenever he looked at me, his eyes always seemed to be on fire.
And at that moment, I stood naked in front of him, but there was no trace of desire in his dark eyes.
He had a little conscience, knowing that I couldn’t bear his torment in this
state.
The warm towel rubbed on my body felt comfortable, but soon, I still felt a burning sensation.
I still felt cold and kept shivering.
Reynaldo rubbed my body while saying in a deep voice, “You must be

freezing, running a high fever. Just hold on a little longer, the doctor will be here soon.”
“I didn’t want to!”
I shouted at him with effort, “I said I didn’t want a doctor, I didn’t want…”
Reynaldo’s face turned cold, and a hint of anger surged in his eyes.
Have you been willful enough? Do you think I want to control you?!
‘You followed me out, if something happens to you, how will the media report on me?”
I bit my lip, tears blurred my eyes as I looked at him, feeling uncomfortable both physically and emotionally.
I struggled and said, “Then don’t mind me… you go out, go and accompany Kimberly, you go… just go…”
“Esmeralda!”
He had already shouted my name so low many times, I don’t know how
many.
He pressed my shoulder, his face full of hostility.
He gritted his teeth and said, “If you don’t want to die, then shut mouth!”
“I have never seen a woman who is as disobedient as you,”
When people are sick, their hearts seem particularly fragile.

I watched him in a rage, feeling sour in my heart, with tears constantly falling from the corners of my eyes.
Reynaldo stared at me intently.
