President's Substitute Wife

Ming’s words made me want to laugh. I looked up at him and said, “I don’t need anyone to protect me. I can protect myself.”

I finished and turned to leave.

As soon as I stepped, I heard him ask, “what about Lester?”

His words stopped me at once.

Ming’s words alarmed me.

When I left him, I bet he didn’t inject Lester with anything, but even now I was not sure.

After all, he was Ming.

He was too insidious, and what he had done showed that he was not kind.

I stood there and clenched my hands.

I didn’t speak. Ming asked me, “how’s Lester doing? Is he in good health? Does he have a fever?”

I chewed my lips with my teeth and advised myself not to be impulsive for many times before I said, “Lester is in good health. Thank you for your concern.”

“All right.” He replied lightly, “if he has a high fever, you can come to me. Maybe it’s not late.”

What did he mean?

His tone was firm!

He was sure Lester would have a high fever!

I couldn’t bet on Lester. I thought about it and asked, “you said Lester would get sick at the age of seven or eight. He is not yet six years old.”

I couldn’t get involved with him any more.
