She bent her legs and hugged her knees, pitifully cowering in the corner.
"Take the medicine."
"I won't eat it!" Alexa suddenly hid to the side with anxiety. "Are you trying to harm my child? Go away!"
"I won't harm you." Terrence grabbed her wrist. "It's fine. Don't worry."
Alexa trembled so much that her panicked little face was covered in tears.
"Who are you?" She cried, "I don't know you."
Terrence became nervous. He took a few steps back and opened up a distance between him and her.
Alexa felt a little safe and looked up at him while sobbing.
"Look. It's me."
She indeed looked at him carefully. After a long time, Alexa said in a daze.
"Terrence?"
"Yes."
He answered in an unclear mood, and the tension in his heart had vanished.
"You have a fever," Terrence explained, "Take the medicine."
Alexa sobered up a lot and no longer panicked. She even quickly hid her emotions.
