Chapter 293 Laying Low

Upon returning to the hotel, Nancy provided Oliver with some basic first-aid. He had cried all the way back and was completely exhausted, falling into a deep sleep.

When Oliver woke up, he felt an intense chill.

“Mommy, what are you doing?”

In the bathroom, Nancy poured cold water over Oliver from above. Shivering from the cold, Oliver struggled to stand up from the bathtub, but she pushed him back down with one hand.

“M-Mommy, I’m s-so cold.” Oliver’s body turned blue as he shivered uncontrollably. He hugged himself, trying to keep warm.

Nancy gently stroked his hair with a smile. “Be good, Ollie. Just endure a little longer. Daddy will come to see you soon. Our family will be together, and you’ll have a Daddy soon.”

The little one opened his innocent eyes wide and nodded. “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Mommy”

“Good boy. Later, I’ll get you your favorite ice cream,”

“Okay!”

The room service attendant brought another bucket of ice cubes, which Nancy dumped into the bathtub.

“Mommy, I don’t feel well…

“We’ll be done in a moment.”

After half an hour, Nancy finally lifted him out of the icy bathtub. Without even drying him off, she let him sleep on the couch, completely naked, facing the window.
