Chapter 10

He collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably: "Tell me this is your fault... Not because of me! It's not because of me!"

Sarah lay disheveled on the bed, her lips pale.

She reached out to Alex, "Alex, my leg hurts so much. Please, come check what's wrong."

Alex shouted at her, losing control: "Call a doctor! How should I know!"

"I don't want to call a doctor, it's too undignified. I've always taken such good care of you, just help me look."

Sarah, now you're experiencing how it feels to be confined to a bed, treated as less than human.

Alex rushed over, scooped up the child, and fled like a madman.

He hadn't run far when he heard a commotion outside.
