Chapter 67: Chapter 67

In his car, Ray frowned. He told Adam to go to the convenience store for a while to buy Fillo ice cream to kill time.

"So?" Ray reminded her.

"It's like this, Mr. Sanders. I don't have my boss' boyfriend's number, but as for her having a boyfriend, I'm very sure. About two months ago, Boss took a vacation on a cruise ship so suddenly and said she wanted a family holiday, she said the ticket was for three people."

Ray frowned.

Vacation on a cruise ship two months ago?

So, there was one other person who went with her on the cruise ship? He didn't know anything because at that time he only met her briefly before he disembarked in Mexico.

"Anything else?" His heart was currently restless like hot oil being splashed with water.

"These few days there was a man has come to the office to meet her, and they often go out together."

Ray froze.

A man coming to her office?

He was completely at a loss for words now. Then the employee on the other end of the phone, whose name Ray didn't even ask, continued to tell him many things; that her boss often missed work on dates, she even got angry if someone asked who her boyfriend was. Once, Alexa accidentally said that this was Fillo's father, and she was thinking about how to get back with him.

There was only one thing that came to Ray's mind; Bryan!

A cold tone came out of his voice. "Adam, investigate Bryan."

Previously, Ray didn't pay attention because Alexa prevented him. This time, his curiosity was different from the last time, but maybe he would really beat this guy up for still seeing his girlfriend!

And what did she say? Alexa wanted to get back with him?

If only Ray was dead, then do it!

Not long after, the car arrived at Alexa's home. During the trip, he was so restless that he couldn't concentrate on anything. Luckily he slowly regained his composure while chatting with Fillo, while looking for other information.

The simple house was closed tightly, he didn't knock because the door was ajar.

"Alexa?"

He opened the door slowly while holding Fillo. He didn't have to look hard when his gaze caught someone on the couch. He stopped in his tracks when he realized that the woman he had not been able to contact for a long time was sleeping soundly.

Now he knew this was the reason why she wasn't answering the phone.

He exhaled silently.

He glanced at Fillo and put his index finger to his lips, telling him not to make a sound. The two 'father-son' looked at each other and nodded. Then approached Alexa slowly.

Ray shook her slightly. "Lexa, wake up."

Alexa's sleeping face was very innocent and soft. There was a trace of tiredness under her eyes. Her skin was slightly pale, wrinkled like clothes that had been left out in the sun for too long. This was not normal. her skin was white, but today she looked as white as paper. He noticed a little sweat on her forehead.

The movement around her finally made her wake up, her eyes blinked slowly, then she accidentally sneezed.

Ray instinctively pulled Fillo a little away. Watching how she sat upright and dazed, her pale nose turned red and even sneezed again.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Ray asked worriedly. "Fillo, don't come any closer."

Without answering, Alexa sneezed again. Her eyes were very red and wattery.

In fact, she was still in a daze because she had just woken up. Her voice was hoarse, "What's wrong? What time is it?"

It was almost two in the afternoon, if Samuel finds out that Ray missed work again, he will definitely extend his strike. But, Ray didn't regret that he skipped work to find Alexa in a state like this.

After a few minutes, she fully regained her senses and looked shocked. "Ray, you ... how did you get in?"

"Not locked." Ray answered briefly.

Alexa shifted restlessly in her place, not digesting properly. "What?"

Ray didn't say a word, reaching out to touch her forehead.

It felt hot to the touch.

He frowned. "You're burning up. Your forehead is so hot. Have you been sleeping here since earlier?"

She stared blankly at his strict tone. "Caught a cold, nothing serious."

Right after she said it, she sneezed again. Not just once or twice. The sound also sounded really bad.

Ray touched his forehead, cheeks and neck again, his expression looked displeased. "Come on. We're going to the hospital."

"It's not so bad that I have to go to the hospital," said Alexa quickly. "I'll be fine after sleeping."

The cold will not be fine after sleeping. That was just a suggestion. If you want to get better then you have to go and take medicine. In fact, if she insisted that she was fine, she wouldn't forget to attend a small meeting at her own son's playground.

God knows what kind of love that woman has for her son. So if Fillo asked for the moon and stars, she would definitely do it.

And he actually thought she was out of town with her boyfriend?

Nonsense.

Ray couldn't stand hearing her hoarse voice, approached and carried her in front of him without permission. Alexa, who lost her footing suddenly, was shocked.

"R-Ray, what are you doing?" Alexa stopped to cough. "Let me down!"

He ignored her, gripping her shoulders and legs. He sped up.

"Wait, Ray. Put me down. I'll walk alone. This is embarrassing."

When he got near the car, Adam saw him and opened the door.

"Adam, let Fillo sit in front. Put a mask on him."

Alexa was put in the back passenger seat, not moving. He hit Ray immediately. "Why are you so rude? Did I allow you to just take me?"

The car hasn't started yet. Ray was in a bad mood because he was thinking too much about negative things and was anxious along the way. The person who made him anxious apparently did not deserve to be accused like that, even though she was sick, alone and helpless.

Ray felt guilty.

"What's wrong with visiting the hospital when you're sick?" His tone was firm when he said that.

"But, I'm usually fine after sleeping and taking medicine." Alexa insisted.

She really was not paying attention to her surroundings, right?

"Okay. It's good to recover quickly. But what about Fillo? What if you pass your cold on him? Isn't he still so vulnerable?"

"That's ..."

His words made sense.

Her eyes moved restlessly, until finally she saw Fillo who was wearing an adult mask that was too big and was looking at her.

His expression was very innocent.

Alexa finally relented.

After seeing her give up, Ray rushed to contact Fran, saying, "Adam, we're going to City Hospital."
