Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

"Why would you go with me?"

Raquella inquired, perplexed by Frank's abrupt declaration.

"We've been living together the past few days.What would I be doing all alone when you're gone?"

"Taking care of one person is hard enough.Please don't make my job harder."

For some reason, she perceived him as a child incapable of caring for himself.It was understandable that she would think that because she was aware that he was significantly younger than she was.

"Why would I need you to take care of me? I'm not going just so you can take care of me.Also, I've been taking care of you over the past few days because of your stomach ache," Frank blurted out awkwardly.

Raquella froze in shock when she heard that.He’s right.I've been confined to my bed for the past few days.

During that time, he cared for me, making me cups of ginger tea and reading bedtime stories.He is, in fact, an excellent caretaker.

"Please stop doubting my intentions.I am only going with you to help you.If anything does happen to you, I can take care of the two of you."

When Raquella heard Frank's statements, she burst out laughing.

"Aren't you worried you'll be infected as well?"

After all, being infected with this disease will be fatal.

In addition, how am I to explain to the Jonesons if something were to happen to him? However, he snorted disdainfully, "I have a strong immune system. There's no way I'd fall sick."

"Hold your horses.In this case, a strong immune system won't protect you from the disease."

Surprisingly, he replied, "I don't care.If I do get infected, I'll be a source of motivation for Elspeth to hurry up with her research.There is no way she would just let her family suffer."

For some reason, Raquella was comforted by Frank's somewhat naive declaration.
