I became DIO's vicious stepmother

Chapter 24

"How are you feeling?"

I looked back at Dio immediately, but his eyes were still closed, he seemed delirious, and whispered softly.

"Mother... don't go..."

I froze for a moment, and then suddenly realized that this kid was really burnt out.

The "mother" he called was definitely not me, but his real biological mother.

I remember that in the original book, Dior's biological mother was a kind and gentle woman, and she was the only person that Dior, who was naturally antisocial, ever cared about.Although Dior's past has not been dug deep in the original book, it can be seen that he must have loved his mother.He hated his scumbag father for letting his mother die of overwork at a young age, so he poisoned Dalio and spurned him on Dalio's grave.And the only time he shed tears because of sadness was for his mother.

It's not hard for me to imagine why Dior was hostile to me from the beginning. He must be willing to admit that anyone replaced his mother. If the original Jenny White's route is followed, most likely he will be with Dalio in the end. Poisoned by Dior.He is very ruthless when dealing with anyone, absolutely don't have any undue expectations from him.

...But I have to say, he is actually a little cute now.

The sick Dior looked very fragile, but that pretty face made people feel a little bit of affection.But I know that this child is a devil in human skin, and I will not be deceived by his appearance.

This scourge will definitely not die, even if he is left alone, if he really dies of illness, it will be God's eyes.

Of course, superficial skills still have to be done.

I withdrew my hand from Dio's with a blank expression, and was going to get some water to symbolically wipe his body to cool down his body physically.But Dio's hand was very tight. He held my arm tightly, as if he was afraid that I would leave him and leave.

"Mother...I feel bad..."

"Don't worry, mom is here."

I said coolly, and forcibly broke Dio's fingers apart with words and deeds.Then he ran to get a basin of water, untied his clothes, and began to wipe his hot skin.

There is no medicine for him at home. Antiviral drugs for influenza have not been invented in this era, and earth remedies are actually useless. At this time, it is really necessary to drink more hot water.

After applying a cold towel to his forehead, I hurried out of his room.

Although I wear a mask, I still have to be careful.Fortunately, Dalio still has a lot of unopened spirits with high alcohol concentration. It is estimated that Dior has poisoned them and can't drink them, but I can use them to disinfect the environment, right?

So I canned some of the wine and prepared to sprinkle it in Dior's room from time to time.

After the water was boiled, I put the glass of hot water beside Dio's bed and turned over the towel wrapped around his forehead.

Although I really want to act and pretend to be by his side, but this is the flu, and it's not worthwhile to involve myself in it.I patted Dio's face, saw that he was unconscious due to high fever, shook his head and clicked his tongue.

"Forget it, you are tormenting me when you are sick, I wish you a speedy recovery."

Dior is able to grow to a physique with a height of more than 190 in the future. Anyway, it is impossible to die from a flu.

I turned off the light for Dio, turned and left his room.

……

The moment the door closed, Dio who was lying on the bed opened his eyes weakly.

His expression didn't change, because his eyes seemed to be covered with moisture because of the high fever.He was very silent, staring straight at the door in the dark room for a long time, then continued to sleep.

The next day.

After waking up in the morning, I got out of bed and took a shower, then put on a mask and goggles I made overnight, and slowly carried the dispensing bottle for disinfection to Dior’s room to check his status.

Dio looked wide awake, with his shirt unbuttoned and his blond hair disheveled.The water in the water glass next to him was also finished. At this moment, he was leaning on the pillow and staring at me who opened the door and entered with a blank expression.

"Morning, how do you feel?"

After only one night, he seemed to be in better spirits, so there was no need to worry about him.

"A little headache and tired."

Dio replied a little tiredly, and couldn't help frowning after seeing my fully armed appearance, "What's the matter with you, what kind of strange outfit is this?"

Is it because I don't have the Plague Doctor equipment?Of course, if he wears a bird's beak, he may be stimulated, and he may think that he is terminally ill and wants to go crazy and take revenge on society.So I told him in a way that fooled the neighbors, "I have hives on my face, ugly."

"..."

Sure enough, Dio narrowed his eyes slightly. After looking me up and down, he snorted softly, turned his head and said, "Do you still care about this?"

"Of course, because it's scary and I don't want Dio to see it."

"..." Dio was silent again, he looked at me with a strange expression, and said nothing after thinking about it.

"Don't talk about this, you can rest for a while."

I helped him remove the warm wet compress on his forehead, soaked it again in cold water and put it on his head again, and said to him, "I'm going to make you breakfast, what do you want to eat?"

"No appetite, don't want to eat."

He lay motionless, staring blankly at the re-pasted wallpaper in the room, seemingly in a daze.

"It won't get better if you don't eat it, you just wait to be carried out under a white cloth like your neighbors." I said coolly.

"..."

It might be because my words were too vicious, but he finally came back to his senses and gave me a vicious look.

"Then drink more hot water yourself."

After confirming that Dio was still alive, I left his room without saying anything like a scumbag.

Since Dior came back so suddenly, I didn't prepare at all, and the food stored at home was for me alone.So I was going to go to the market to buy some meat, but at this moment, someone knocked on the door of Brando's house.

Huh?Who would call at dawn so early?

"Wait a mininute."

I quickly took off my apron, put on a mask and went to open the door.However, after opening the door, a rather surprising visitor was seen outside the house.

The man was wearing a high-quality suit, with a pipe in his mouth. He looked as if he had been well-dressed, and his hair was meticulously combed. He smiled at me thoughtfully.

"Long time no see, Jenny."

It is Alyssa's husband, the son of a noble earl, David Brown.

"..."

What is this guy here for?

Seeing Alyssa's horny husband early in the morning is definitely not a pleasant thing.

I subconsciously glanced outside the house twice. Because of the epidemic, there was no one in the crowded slum streets.David Brown seemed to have come alone, without the coachman, including his wife.

I don't think Brown is going to come to me for nothing, I guess he's here for one reason - he thinks my husband is going to jail, my stepson is in boarding school, and he might have some unrealistic expectations of me and Misunderstanding... So he is going to come to me to make love!

Do it!I really have no interest in Alyssa's horny husband!Such a man is not worthy to appear in my story even if it is a novel!

But I still had to pretend to be a fool to the other party. After all, he has status and status. If he offended him, life would be very difficult, so I kept a polite smile and said hello to him, "Good morning, Mr. Brown, I don't know Is there something important for you to come to visit at this time?"

"Oh, yes, please forgive my presumptuous visit, but when I know Miss Jenny's heart for me, I can no longer control myself and want to see you right away... Ah, why did we miss It's been so long!"

His mood swings were very strong, his face was slightly red, he stared at me intently and said, "A few days ago on the ship at sea, fate finally let me see the story you wrote, if Alyssa hadn't been trying to hide it secretly, I really don't know when I'll know the truth. I didn't expect it! So you feel that way about me! If so, why didn't you tell me sooner? You don't have to be shy, my Jenny, my beautiful angel, You don't know how much I long for you, even in my dreams... After returning from the colony this time, I rushed to you without stopping for a moment, I hope to hear from you Answer, the same sentence, if you are willing to promise me, I will help you leave that scumbag Brando, and you can have everything Alyssa has..."

David Brown chattered a lot excitedly, I was smiling on my face, and I was already cursing in my heart, this dog man and his wife are a natural couple who love brain supplements, how can I substitute the erotic novel I wrote into it? own?But I can't just slap him right now and tell him to get the hell out. Offending this guy will probably be the end of the game. He has a way to get revenge on me and ban my publishing books. Before I earn enough money to leave this ghost place, I still have to play dumb with him.

"This... I never thought about these things, Mr. Brown, Alyssa will be sad if you do this. I am her sister, and I can't do things that are sorry for her. Please think twice, she loves you so much... ..."

These words make me sick!I just want to punch this dog man!It seems that I have to find a way to inform Alyssa so that she can take good care of her husband who can't control his third leg!

"There is nothing wrong with love. I want both of you to be happy. I think Alyssa will understand. Can I come in? I want to talk to you..."

David Brown looked around with a look of urgency.Of course I wouldn't let him in, and just as I was trying to find an excuse to refuse him, David Brown suddenly noticed my back, and my whole body froze suddenly.

"Dior? Why are you here?"

I turned around immediately, David Brown's expression was a little frozen, and he looked at the blond boy with a slightly gloomy expression in amazement.

"Didn't you go to school?"

"Dio is back."

I was also surprised that Dior got up, but at this time I realized that the opportunity had come, so I immediately explained to David Brown, "The recent epidemic in London is very serious. I wonder if you have heard, Mr. Brown? Our neighborhood A lot of people have been infected."

"Yes... I have heard that this disease has taken many lives, but I am not afraid of it, and no difficulty can stop me from walking towards you." David Brown is like a sympathetic , looked at me affectionately and said.

"...the epidemic was raging in Dior's school, so the school closed early. And unfortunately, Dior also contracted the same disease and is currently resting at home."

"........."

What I said finally made David Brown's complexion change drastically. He couldn't keep his excited look any longer, his whole body became stiff, and he took a step back involuntarily.

"This...is that so...then I may not come at the right time, let Dio rest well, I will take my leave first, Jenny."

"Well, you'd better go back early and avoid going out as much as possible, the fatality rate of this plague is really high..."

"Yes, you have to take care of yourself..."

He struggled to show a smile, as if he was afraid that it would be contagious to him, he didn't dare to stay for a second.He quickly left the gate of Brando's house as if fleeing.

……

What a useless coward.

I spat at him with a sneer, and closed the door behind me.

Then I turned around and faced the blond boy who inexplicably appeared behind me.

Dio didn't seem very happy, he looked even more gloomy.I just thought he was unwell, and looking at his unreadable deep eyes, I sighed softly and said, "Fortunately, I managed to get past it, but why are you up? Go and rest."

But Dio didn't answer, he stared at me for a long time without moving, and asked suddenly, "How many times have you met him?"
