Chapter 1604: Grievance and Low Fever

"Waaah!"

After howling fiercely while stretching her neck, Melanie, with red-rimmed eyes, glanced at her sister, who was full of guilt, and then sobbed:

"I already said it wasn't me, it wasn't me, but you wouldn't believe me, and even said I was lying... wuu wuu... my butt... my butt hurts..."

"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not looking after Miss Melanie well."

Looking at Melanie, who was crying exceptionally sadly in front of her, the female official responsible for taking care of her couldn't help but lower her head, her expression filled with guilt as she explained to Leon:

"When Miss Melanie was sleeping halfway, she started snoring, and there was a lot of drool at the corner of her mouth, so I thought I'd help her wipe it off so it wouldn't stick to her face when she woke up.

But the water pipe in your apartment was a bit rusted, I couldn't turn 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..."

And then while you were gone to get the wet towel, Anna came back halfway, right?

After listening to the female official's explanation, Leon couldn't help but wave his hand helplessly, indicating that this was not her problem. After all, it was ultimately his sister's sleeping posture that was too poor, and the other party was also well-intentioned to help.

It was just that he didn't expect that while she was gone, Anna, worried about William's situation, came back halfway to take a look, only to find the room full of alcohol smell, Melanie sleeping soundly with a flushed little face, and when she was woken up, she smelled of alcohol, and then she started beating her on the spot.

"Wuu wuu wuu, I'm so wronged!"

After the female official finished explaining and the guilt in Anna's eyes deepened by three points, Melanie's crying became three points louder. She sniffed and sobbed:

"I was clearly very well-behaved today, I honestly finished my homework, and the wet towel on William's head was changed by me, but I still got beaten... waaah!"

"Alright, alright, stop howling!"

Although Melanie had indeed suffered a grievance, her crying was really a bit fake. Unable to watch any longer, Leon had to promise helplessly:

"Your sister Anna misunderstood when she came in, anyone would have misunderstood, so it's all big brother's fault. It was big brother who accidentally got you drunk. How about I raise your pocket money next month?"

"Wuu wuu wuu, my butt hurts..."

"I'll raise it for the month after next too!"

"My butt..."

"I'll add another month!"

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

"..."

You greedy little brat!

Looking at Melanie, who was using her butt to demand pocket money, Leon couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and then said pointedly:

"Then how about this, for selling out your big brother for money, preparing to pour water into the school gate hinges, and asking your sister-in-law for..."

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Not expecting that things were clearly being discussed well, but Leon suddenly started overturning the table, Melanie screamed twice, covering the most critical issue, and then twisted her little butt hard, full of surprise:

"It doesn't hurt! It suddenly doesn't hurt!"

"It's better?"

"It's better, it's better! It really doesn't hurt!"

Looking at big brother's half-smiling expression in front of her, and the suspicious gaze of sister Anna beside big brother, Melanie couldn't help but regret setting the conditions too high, and then blinked her eyes:

"That... there seems to be movement in the inner room, William is probably awake, I'll go see him!"

"Fine, go, go." Letting go of Melanie, who had admitted defeat in time, and not exposing the critical issue of her threatening to "eat sister-in-law's soft rice," Leon reached out and pulled Anna, who wanted to chase after her, and persuaded with a smile:

"Forget it, forget it, you've already beaten her anyway."

"That's different!"

After struggling twice without breaking free, Anna couldn't help but stomp her feet and said angrily:

"Big brother! A wrong beating is a wrong beating! A mistake is a mistake! I beat her wrong before, I can apologize to her and compensate her properly, but a mistake is a mistake! She definitely still needs to be educated again!"

"Fine, fine, fine, you're right, she definitely needs to be educated!"

Knowing Anna's serious personality very well, Leon didn't discuss whether she should be beaten or not, but held Anna's hand and reminded her warmly:

"But she just suffered a grievance, was beaten by you for no reason, and if she has to come again immediately, wouldn't that be too miserable? Why don't you wait for her to recover, and educate her after her butt doesn't hurt?"

"I..."

Although she knew Leon was stalling for time, preparing to wait until her anger subsided before talking, but thinking of her sister's aggrieved little appearance just now, Anna's heart, which had barely hardened, couldn't help but soften slightly, and then she stopped her steps along the way:

"Then wait two days... that's fine..."

"That's right!"

Looking at his younger sister who had calmed down again, Leon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

(Content omitted for brevity)

Melanie, oh Melanie, this time although big brother caused you to be beaten for no reason, he also helped your little butt block a disaster in return, so this time we'll call it even!

"Sorry to trouble you today."

Persuading Anna, who wanted to do it again, and sitting her down on the sofa, Leon nodded slightly to the two female officials in the living room, and said peacefully and warmly:

"Veronica is also a bit drunk, so I'll send her back to rest first. She asked you to go back to her bedroom to find her. Also, thank you for taking care of my younger brother and sister."

"You're too polite."

"This is what we should do."

Facing Leon's sincere thanks, the two female officials who were a bit "flattered" shook their heads, indicating that they had only done their part, and then took the initiative to say goodbye.

And after getting up and sending the two female officials out the door, Leon looked at his younger sister, who was still a bit angry on the sofa, thought for a moment, and took the initiative to open the topic:

"By the way, Anna, did something happen today? Why did the poorhouse suddenly receive so many people?"

"I'm not very clear either..."

Hearing Leon's inquiry, Anna's delicate eyebrows couldn't help but frown, and then she looked at William's room and answered with some worry:

"Since this morning, I don't know what happened, suddenly a lot of people had a low fever. The hospital newly built by the red brick road didn't have enough beds, and they were worried about some large-scale disease, so they could only evacuate and isolate them nearby, and arranged them in several large public facilities nearby..."

Low fever?

Hearing Anna's words, Leon couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then asked subconsciously:

"Infectious disease?"

"No."

Anna shook her head and said:

"If this situation were an infectious disease, I wouldn't have come home, but would have stayed at the poorhouse to organize isolation.

Many doctors have checked repeatedly and confirmed that the symptoms of these people with low fever will not spread, and there is no pressure on the body at all. It is just a simple low fever that does not go away, and at most, there is some dizziness... Oh right!"

Speaking of this, she seemed to have remembered something, looked up at the top of Leon's head, and then asked with some unease:

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