Billy made a big mistake. He and Sherman could never be together again. He was depressed and kept smoking.
When Kingsley came back and saw Billy, h e said coldly, "Mr. Day."
Billy said nothing but kept smoking.
Kingsley ignored Billy and walked forward with his long legs, holding the orange juice in his hand. Sherman liked to drink orange juice these days.
When Kingsley walked away, Billy said, "Be nice to her!"
"Of course," Kingsley said and then he went upstairs.
Billy stood in place and kept smoking.
Several cigarette butts were scattered on the ground, glowing in the night.
A small cold wind blew, extinguishing the last small flame on the cigarette butt. His hope died like the extinguished flames.
Billy stood downstairs all night. When he left early in the morning, his legs went numb and his forehead was flushed with fever. Obviously, he had a cold.
For Billy, the physical pain was nothing. Mental pain had already overwhelmed him. Why bother to care about physical pain?
At that time, Billy was totally at a loss.
When the car arrived at the Day family's villa, Billy passed out. Moriah was shocked. She immediately called the doctor and asked the maid to take Billy upstairs.
After receiving an injection and drinking medicine, Billy woke up. Moriah took care o f him personally. Billy didn't get sick often, and it was the third time he had a fever in his life.
Billy hugged Moriah and cried as if he had lost his beloved toy when he was three years old. "Mom, I feel bad. Sherman and I will never be together."
