It was still raining and raindrops were pattering on the window. From the window on the second floor, Theodore watched as Everleigh got into a car. In the heavy rain, the car drove off with sprays of water.
He heard the butler, Jacob, speaking to him. "Master Theodore, Emmett just sent Miss Trevino home."
Theodore let the curtain fall back into place. His face was still solemn.
The voice in the call echoed in his ears and he could not get rid of it.
"Master Theodore, it's time for you to take your medicine." Jacob handed Theodore a glass of water.
Theodore returned to his senses. After calming down, he realized that something was off. He frowned and instructed, "Tell Emmett to see me when he's back."
Seven years ago, they broke up. She eloped and had a child abroad.

He was determined to figure out everything.
After returning home, Everleigh went to bed without washing her face. She sneezed a couple of times and her body temperature rose. She was a doctor and she knew that she had a fever but she could not get up.

"I'll call Christopher and ask what medicine we should get."
"It's raining outside. I'm going to change my shoes. Alastair, I'll go with you."
The sky was getting dark and it was drizzling.
In the pharmacy, two children picked some antipyretics and they were going to pay it at the counter.
Adrienne was wearing a pair of red rain boots. Her hair was tied into two buns and she looked cute. She tilted his head and said to the cashier, "Miss, we want to pay for this."
