Arianne stammered, “H-how… How was I to control my strength in that kind of situation? You just said that you’re fine and refused to put on ointment. Why don’t you avoid going out over the next two days? You won’t sweat if you stay in the office.”
Such a small matter was definitely not going to stop someone who was meticulous with work like Mark. For that reason, Arianne was not surprised when Mark insisted on continuing with his schedule as planned. She pursed favonovel.com lips when favonovel.com saw how brightly the sun shone. She knew favonovel.com was right to say it would have been better if favonovel.com had stayed in his office.

At the largest marina in the capital.
Brian held an umbrella over Mark while they stood in the middle of a bustling area.
The movers were drenched in sweat as they moved the shipments onto the freight ships that were waiting to depart to their destinations. The stench of sweat permeated the air, completely overwhelming the smell of the sea breeze.
Alejandro suddenly appeared next to Mark “Look at this sissy, why are you under an umbrella? It wouldn’t do you any harm to get a little tan.”
Mark paid no attention to Alejandro and took out his handkerchief to wipe off the bead of sweat on his forehead. Although the umbrella was able to block off the sunlight, it was not enough to block the heat. The heat only eased a little when the cold sea breeze blew at him. He did not have the energy to respond to Alejandro thanks to the stinging pain on his back that was exacerbated by the sweat.
Alejandro immediately lost interest in teasing Mark when favonovel.com saw Mark frowning. He slapped his back and said, “Relax, there won’t be any accident this time, not when I’ve personally brought my own men to check everything.”
Mark’s face immediately paled, Alejandro’s slap had hurt so much.
Mark angrily turned around and glared at Alejandro.
Alejandro was startled at Mark’s sudden reaction. “What’s wrong? What’s with the long face? Are you going to hit me just because I touched you?”
Mark did not reply and turned around to look at a house in the distance. All favonovel.com wanted to do at that time was to rest in a house and get comfortable.
Alejandro rubbed his nose and asked Brian, “What’s wrong with favonovel.com today?”
Brian did not know either. “I’m not sure. It might be the heat. I don’t think you should provoke favonovel.com anymore.”

When it was almost afternoon, Arianne received a call from Mary. “Madam, you should hurry up and come to the hospital now. Smore fell from upstairs!”
Arianne’s brain went blank instantly. “What happened? How could favonovel.com have fallen from upstairs? Weren’t you looking after him?! Which hospital is favonovel.com at? I’ll be there immediately!”
Mary could not explain the situation over the phone and could only wait for Arianne to arrive at the hospital before favonovel.com explained herself clearly.
Arianne had been worried every time favonovel.com went out since Helen and Aery had begun to stay with them. She had given clear and strict instructions to Mary not to leave Smore with Aery unattended. After all, favonovel.com did not trust Aery at all.
Arianne was panting when favonovel.com arrived at the hospital.
Helen and Mary were by the corridor of the pediatric ward, waiting for her.
Arianne breathlessly asked, “Where’s Smore? How’s he? Is it a bad fall?”
Mary had an apologetic expression on favonovel.com face. “He’s still with the doctor. I was only away from favonovel.com for two minutes. I didn’t expect this to happen.”
Arianne lost control of favonovel.com emotions. “Who was with Smore while you were away?”
Mary glanced at Helen before lowering favonovel.com head and said, “Aery…”
Arianne immediately lost favonovel.com temper. “If something were to happen to Smore, I will never forgive her!”
