Christina was burning.She rolled over and over uncomfortably, gave a faint moan, and mumbled, "I'm not hungry..."

Her cheeks were ruddy.

"You must have been all tired out in Switzerland.What's more, you got soaked in the rain at noon..."

Betty took out a thermometer and measured Christina's temperature, nagging.

"You are too skinny.You might easily get sick"

Finally, she sighed.

Christina used to be in good health before she married into the Hopkins family.

Betty went downstairs and told Donald about Christina's illness.

The fever of 102 degrees Fahrenheit was not particularly serious for adults.

But Mrs.Dickens was still worried and said, "Why did she suddenly fall sick?"

Donald's face was gloomy, and a wave of inexplicable anger took hold of him.

"What did she get from marrying into the Hopkins family? Look how she is afflicted by illness!"

He had objected to the marriage from the beginning.He did not care about the high position and great wealth of the Hopkins family.

All Patrick had given her was sufferings in their one-year marriage.

Betty also felt a little complicated.

"Christina has been in excellent health since she was a child.She rarely gets sick...Should we take her to the hospital for an injection of antipyretic?"

Mrs.Dickens suggested.

Betty took some alcohol and antipyretics and went upstairs, busy tending to Christina.

She poked her head and said, "She doesn't want to go to the hospital"

"I think she'll be fine.Patrick gave her alcohol rubs and put a fever patch on her forehead.Now her body temperature is 100 degrees.Let her sleep for a while.

Her fever should be gone soon"

Christina's grandfather was General Eisenhower.She was his only granddaughter.

Ever since she was born, she had been favored, so she became willful and courageous.

But she was also raised by high standards in dealing with people and physical exercise, so she rarely got sick growing up.

It was strange that she suddenly had a fever.

This provoked some resentment of the Dickens family against the Hopkins family.

Thinking of this, Betty could not help but sigh.

They didn't go out to eat.

Betty cooked something casual as dinner.

"When she wakes up later, ask her to eat some porridge and take some antipyretics."

Betty was cooking porridge when she saw Patrick coming down the stairs.

"Patrick, let's have dinner first..."

Patrick ignored her and strode out of the door.

Betty looked at his back in surprise.She didn't know where he was going, nor did she dare to stop him.

Although he was nominally the son-in-law of the Dickens family, he was also the Young Master Hopkins.She could not utter a word of complaint.

After all, Christina counted as marrying above herself into the Hopkins family.

They were not well-matched in social and economic status.

Mrs.Dickens bit her tongue.

She sat at the table and looked at the simple dishes.

Inevitably, she felt a little inferior.

The Hopkins family lived an extravagant life, so it seemed unbecoming to serve Patrick with these home-cooked dishes.
