Adam Howard felt Daniel Marshall's forehead. It was really hot!
Instantly, Adam frowned, "He stayed out in the rain all night?"
"That's right. No one could persuade him to come in. That woman, Olivia, ignored him and left him out there. Her attitude when she left this morning... so cold and unfeeling! I wanted to tell her the truth, but he wouldn't let me."
"He's just trying to protect the people he cares about. It's a tough situation. Then again, he brought it upon himself. He's suffering now, but Olivia also endured the same kind of suffering. The pain is equal."
The color drained from Simon Howard's face, a hint of resentment flickering in his eyes, "Is this how it's always going to be?"
After a moment, Adam responded: "Take a picture of Daniel lying in the hospital bed and send it to Valerie Howard. Tell her that Daniel has a high fever and has fainted. The doctor says there's a risk of pneumonia."
"Will that work?"
