Feeling calmer, she brought the cup of water to Daniel and treated him like a child.
"Here's your water. Open your mouth and take the straw like a good boy."
She meant to tease him, but he didn't seem to mind and went along with it.
He opened his mouth obediently and let her hold the cup, allowing her to practically feed him like a baby.
Chantelle was stunned.
There was no backing out now.
She had to play along. She continued feeding him, convincing herself that his childish behavior was due to his injury.
"Chantelle, how is Daniel? Is he awake?" Philip walked in and was shocked to see Chantelle feeding Daniel water while holding his head carefully. His jaw dropped.
Had they already gotten this close?
Embarrassed, Chantelle quickly turned to Philip and let go of Daniel's head.
Daniel wasn't ready for it. His head hit the bed with a loud thud. He glared at Philip and yelled, "Get out!"
