Chapter 122 - Cold Fever (1/2)
”Aiyo, when you know that takeout food doesn't suit your palate why did you eat it?” Zhao Wei had been nagging Darren from the moment he came to visit her on Sunday.
Coming over to Dylan's family house on Sunday had become a tradition for both Darren and Dylan himself. If they both were in the city, they would always pay a visit to Zhao Wei.
Right now, Darren was sitting on a cushion while Zhao Wei sat behind him on a couch. She opened a bottle of a medicinal oil and after pouring some on her hands, she lightly massaged Darren's temples in a circular motion.
”Beauty Wei, my headache is already killing me. Can you stop reprimanding me?” Darren's voice sounded heavy because of his condition. Because of his stomach, he was running a fever and his head felt really heavy.
”How can I stop? My son is sick, do you know how worried I am right now?” Zhao Wei's voice sounded anxious as she replied.
”Beauty Wei, it's not a big deal. I have been through far worse, remember?” At his reminder, Zhao Wei's expressions turned dark.
”Why do you think I'm scared and worried? I don't wanna see you like that again. And France left you with me because she trusted me. How am I gonna face her if anything happened to you?” Darren's smiled at her response.
”Aiyaya, my second mother...” He got up to sit beside her on the couch and wrapped his arm around her shoulder as he said, ”This frown doesn't suit you. I'm fine. It's a little fever and nothing else. With your food, love, and care, I'll be fine before you even know it.”
Zhao Wei gave him a sad smile. As she remembered what happened in the past, her body shuddered. She caressed Darren's head with affection and said, ”Take better care of yourself. Or you can get a wife to take care of you.”
As Darren was about to speak, both of them heard Dylan's loud voice, ”Mom, look your son is back. Won't you welcome me?” They both shook their heads and when Dylan entered the sitting room, he said, ”No wonder my mother didn't bother replying. Her perfect son is sitting beside her.”
Making an ugly face, he sat at the single couch and said, ”Oi, Daz! Why are you here? Don't you have a girlfriend to keep company?”
Darren glared at Dylan while Zhao Wei looked at him eagerly, ”Darren, you got a girlfriend?”
”Yeah,” Darren replied while throwing an ugly look to Dylan who shrugged his shoulders indifferently. Dylan had opened his mouth to say something when Darren warned him, ”I'm sick today, don't try to mess with me.”
”Why didn't you bring her? I want to see her,” Zhao Wei didn't pay attention to the tension between the boys as she was solely focused on the fact that Darren finally had a girlfriend.
”Bring her? You want me to bring my girlfriend to meet my two fierce mothers on our second day of dating? Are you sure you don't wanna scare her away?” Although he meant every word he said, he still said it in a playful tone.
”How can we dare to scare her? It's just that I'm really excited and I'm sure France is also gonna be.” Zhao Wei sounded like an excited teenager.
