Chapter 17

At the Carters’, when Odell entered, the family physician was attending to Liam.

The boy’s complexion was sickly pale, and he seemed to have passed out in slumber. After not having eaten for an entire day, he seemed noticeably skinnier. Odell knitted his brows together tightly.

Madam Carter was extremely distressed by the situation, and upon seeing Odell, she furiously

accused him, “What was the point you were trying to prove to Liam in the first place? He’s only three years old. What if something were to happen to him?!”

Odell looked at Liam who was lying motionlessly on the bed and clenched his lips together without a word.

The old madam returned to the head of the bed to watch over Liam after she had tired herself out from shouting.

After some time, the family physician breathed a sigh of relief and announced, “Madam, Master Carter, the young master’s fever has subsided. He will be fine by the time he wakes up, but he is still very weak and needs to eat as soon as possible.”

The old madam was relieved by this and thanked the doctor. “Alright, we understand.”

Odell’s frown softened as well.

The family physician took his medical kit and left. The old lady then ordered the servants to prepare Liam’s favorite food. Shortly after that, Liam finally opened his eyes.

“Liam.” The old madam took one of his tiny hands and asked nervously, “How are you feeling? Do you want to eat something?”.

Liam twitched his lips and seemed as if he was about to draw up a response, but when he noticed Odell standing by the bed in the corner of his eyes, he suddenly changed his mind. He turned away from Odell without uttering a word.

No matter how much Madam Carter tried to coax him, he would not reciprocate.

Although the old lady managed to get his little phone back from Odell, he only fiddled with it briefly and did not look like he was going to eat any time soon.

Madam Carter looked at Odell helplessly. “Odell, you’d better talk to Liam.”
