Chapter 933 Grievances and Low Fever

"Whoa!"

After stretching her neck and howling loudly, Melanie, with red eyes, stole a glance at her sister who was looking guilty, and then sobbed and groaned:
"I've already told you that it's not me, but you refused to believe me and even accused me of lying... wuwu... my butt... my butt hurts..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Miss Melanie."

Looking at Melanie crying so sadly, the female official who was in charge of taking care of her couldn't help but lower her head and explained to Leon with a slightly apologetic look:
"Miss Melanie started snoring halfway through her sleep, and a lot of saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth, so I thought of wiping it off for her so that it wouldn't stick to her face when she woke up.

But the water pipes in your apartment were a bit rusty, and I didn’t turn on the switch, and the water in the kettle was cold, so I took a towel and went downstairs to ask the apartment manager for some warm water, and then…”

Then when you come back with the wet towel, Anna's side has already been injected, right?

After listening to the female official's explanation, Leon could not help but wave his hands helplessly, indicating that this was not her problem. After all, it was just that her sister's sleeping posture was too bad, and she just wanted to help wipe it off out of kindness.

But she didn't expect that just as she was leaving, Anna was worried about William's condition and rushed back to take a look. As soon as she entered the room, the whole house smelled of alcohol, and Melanie was sleeping soundly with a red face. When she woke her up, she smelled of alcohol when she opened her mouth, and then she started beating her on the spot.

"Wow, wow, I'm so wronged!"

When the lady-in-waiting finished her explanation, the guilt in Anna's eyes became even stronger, and Melanie's crying became even louder. She sniffed and sobbed:
"I was very well behaved today and finished my homework. I was the one who changed the wet towel on William's head, but I still got spanked... Uwaaaa!"

"Alright, alright, stop howling!"

Although Melanie was indeed wronged, her crying was really fake. Leon couldn't bear it and could only promise with a smile:

"When your sister Anna came in and saw that, anyone would have misunderstood. So it's all your brother's fault. It was your brother who accidentally got you drunk. Can I give you a higher allowance next month?"

"Ouch, my butt hurts..."

“It will also go up next month!”

"butt……"

"One more month!"

"It's better, but it still hurts..."

"..."

You greedy little brat!

Looking at Melanie who was asking for pocket money by bending over, Leon couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and then said meaningfully:

"How about this, you sell out your elder brother for money, you plan to pour water into the school's door hinges, and you ask your sister-in-law for..."

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Unexpectedly, when the conversation was going well, Leon suddenly started to flip the table. Melanie screamed twice to cover up the most critical question, then twisted her butt twice, and said with surprise:

"It doesn't hurt anymore! It suddenly stopped hurting!"

"All right?"

"Okay, okay! It's really good!"

Looking at the half-smile on the face of her elder brother, and the look of sister Anna beside her that was changing from guilt to suspicion, Melanie couldn't help but secretly regret that she had set the conditions too high, and then blinked her eyes and said:
"Um... there seems to be some movement in the inner room. William must have woken up. I'll go check on him!"

“Okay, go ahead.” Leon let go of Melanie who had given in in time and did not expose the key issue of her threat to “eat sister-in-law’s soft rice”. He reached out and grabbed Anna who wanted to chase after him, and smiled and persuaded her:

"Forget it, you've already fought anyway."

"This is different!"

After struggling twice and failing to break free, Anna couldn't help stamping her feet and said angrily:

"Brother! It's a mistake! Making a mistake is a mistake! I made a mistake before, I can apologize to her and make it up to her, but making a mistake is a mistake! I must educate her again!"

"Okay, okay, you're right, we must educate you!"

Knowing Anna's serious character very well, Leon did not discuss with her whether to fight or not. Instead, he took Anna's hand and reminded her gently:
"But she just suffered an injustice and was beaten by you for no reason. If she is beaten again right away, isn't that too tragic? How about you wait for her to calm down and educate her after her butt is no longer hurt?"

"I……"

Although she knew that Leon was stalling for time and was going to wait until her anger subsided before speaking, but when she thought of her sister's aggrieved look just now, Anna's hardened heart suddenly softened slightly, and then she stopped and said with pursed lips:
"Then wait for two days... that's fine..."

"That's right!"

Seeing his sister calm down again, Leon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Melanie, Melanie, even though big brother caused you to get beaten up for no reason this time, he also helped your little butt to get out of trouble. So we are even this time!
"I'm really troubling you today."

After persuading Anna who wanted to score a second goal, and pulling her to sit on the sofa, Leon nodded slightly to the two ladies in the living room, and said in a calm and gentle voice:
"Veronica is a little drunk, so I'll send her back to rest. She asked you to go back to her bedroom to find her. Also, thank you for taking care of my brother and sister."

"You're welcome."

"This is what we should do."

Faced with Lyon's sincere thanks, the two "flattered" female officials hurriedly shook their heads, saying that they were just doing their job, and then took the initiative to leave.

After getting up and sending the two ladies out, Leon looked at his sister who was still a little depressed on the sofa, thought for a moment and took the initiative to change the subject:
"By the way, Anna, did something happen today? Why did the workhouse suddenly accept so many people?"

"I'm not too sure either……"

After hearing Leon’s question, Anna’s delicate brows couldn’t help but frowned, and then she glanced at William’s room, and replied with some concern:

"Since this morning, I don't know what happened, but suddenly a lot of people had a low-grade fever. The newly built hospital over on Red Brick Road doesn't have enough beds, and we're worried that it's a large-scale disease, so we can only evacuate and isolate them nearby. We've arranged for them to be in several large public facilities nearby..."

Low fever?

Leon was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he subconsciously asked:
"infectious disease?"

"no."

Anna shook her head and said:
"If this situation is contagious, I will not come home, but stay in the workhouse to organize quarantine.

Many doctors have checked repeatedly and confirmed that the symptoms of these people with low-grade fever are not contagious, and do not even put any pressure on the body. It is just a simple low-grade fever that will not go away, and at most a little dizziness... Oh, right!"

When she said this, she seemed to remember something, looked up at the top of Leon's head, and then asked with some concern:

"How are you? Do you feel like you have a fever?"
