399 Visiting Harry 2 (1/2)

”Is it okay for us to come?” Ryn asked. She did not want to interrupt Harry's rest. Maybe she should come on another day?

”Nooo.... Don't worry. It's okay to come. Harry knows you're coming,” Mrs Si said hurriedly. She gave Ryn encouraging look before knocked on the door again. ”Dear, someone is here visiting you.”

Still no answer.

Ryn looked at Mei Li but this time no longer say anything. This was awkward. She did not want to enter a man's room when he doesn't realize it.

Without waiting another moment, Mrs Si opened the door. She did not notice that she was heaving a relief sigh when the door was unlocked. She entered the room and walked to the bed where her son was lying. ”Harry, dear, look who is visiting you.”

Harry who was sweating from his fever opened an eye and looked at his mother. He could not understand why his mother was smiling tenderly while before she was being worried. He closed back his eye with a frown, having the headache attacking him again.

”Are you feeling unwell, dear?” her mother asked worriedly. Her hand touched Harry's cheek and her heart skipped feeling how hot his skin was. Oh no, it was hotter than before.

”Aunty?” Ryn's voice broke her thought. She straightened and looked at the young woman, the one she heard being the love of her son. She was determined to make this young woman her daughter-in-law despited her sister-in-law persuaded her not to. So far, she liked what she saw.

”Sorry, dear. Aunty forgot,” she said as she went to Ryn who was still waiting at the door. She did forget about Mei Li, though. Her attention was totally at Ryn.

”Please, come in,” she welcomed them.... ahem... Ryn in and walked back to her son's side.

”How is he, Aunty?” Ryn asked as she looked at the lying Harry. Her forehead wrinkled a bit as she frowned, seeing how sweaty he was. She held herself desperately from reaching a cloth to wipe the sweat away. She turned to look at the elderly woman in question.

”He is still having a high fever. The doctor said if he is still like this in two days, we have to call him back,” Mrs. Si said. ”My son, Harry, doesn't get sick often. Since young he doesn't get sick, even when he was a baby. Aunty is worried seeing him like this.”

Ryn took the wringing hands of Mrs. Si and patted them gently. ”Dont worry, Aunty. Harry will be fine.”

”Yes. Yes. With you here, he will be fine,” Mrs Si nodded her head repeatedly.

Were they missing something here? Did anyone forget to inform them anything?

”Harry, dear, look who is here. Catherine,” Mrs Si told her son loudly, pulling Ryn closer to her son. ”Come, open your eyes and see dear Catherine.”

”Aun... aunty?” Ryn choked out uncomfortably. This was getting weirder. She could see Harry not having a mood to open his eyes. His face was wincing, maybe having any pain anywhere.

Maybe she should leave and let Harry recuperate peacefully.

Ryn turned to look at Mei Li for her manager's opinion but her manager, already snapped from her thought, could only shrug helplessly.

Somehow Mei Li could guess why the elderly woman was so enthusiastic when welcoming Ryn into this 'palace'. It sent shiver to her body. This was not right. Didn't everyone know about Ryn's relationship with Jeremy? Why would Mrs Si think... no... treat Ryn as if Ryn was Harry's girlfriend?

”Harry hasn't esten much since this morning. Maybe with you here, you can persuade him to eat some,” Mrs Si signalled a maid to approach. The younger woman came forward holding a tray with a China bowl and a crystal glass.
