Chapter 41 " You motherfucking crazy bitch ! I let you have your way but you just keep pushing my limits ! " Mr. Hardy shouted . Larissa was afraid things would get out of hand , so she quickly stepped in and attempted to break up the fight . Mr. Hardy pushed her away roughly . " Get out ! " He yelled , the motions of his arms never ceasing . The other patient in the room seemed to be used to their fights by now . Wordlessly , they closed the curtains around their bed . Out of sight , out of mind . " Dad ! Mom ! Are you done embarrassing yourselves ? " Travis shouted angrily , successfully bringing Mr. Hardy back to his senses . He released his grip on Mrs. Hardy , but her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she fainted once again . There was a large , red mark on her forehead , its color darker on her flushed face as a result of her fever . There was no doubt that Mr. Hardy had used a lot of force when he slammed her head against the wall earlier " Could you please call the nurse in or press the call button on my bed for me ? " Travis begged Larissa . Larissa was just about to leave the room when Mr. Hardy rushed over to stop her . " You ! Stay here . Don't go anywhere ! " Even though he had a fight with Mrs. Hardy , he'd witnessed how hard she'd been working the past few days , and he had not forgotten why she'd been so determined to get Larissa here . Mr. Hardy opened the door and shouted at the top of his lungs . " Nurse ! " Very quickly , a nurse rushed over . As soon as she saw Mrs. Hardy on the floor , she was taken aback . " Ma'am , what happened ? " She asked as she knelt down to pull Mrs. Hardy up to her feet . Mr. Hardy stood on one side , eyeing them coldly . He didn't even bother to give them a hand . " Who knows what happened ? " His voice was filled with disdain . Chapter 41 Larissa saw the nurse struggling to support Mrs. Hardy's weight , so she walked over to support the woman on her other side and replied , " She had a fever of 103.1 degrees earlier and received IV fluids downstairs , but I suppose her fever hasn't yet subsided . " " 103.1 degrees ? " The nurse repeated in surprise . " That's pretty serious . " The two of them moved Mrs. Hardy to the bed Mr. Hardy was sleeping in before and took her temperature again . " 100.6 degrees . She still has a high fever . Since she'd already gotten fluids , I'll bring along two ice packs then . You can help apply them on her forehead . " The nurse brought back the ice packs , but Mr. Hardy refused to take them . " I'm going out for a smoke . " He said and left the ward . Larissa was tempted to do the same . But met with the nurse's earnest gaze , she couldn't help but reach over and accept the ice packs from her . Reluctantly , she sat by Mrs. Hardy's bed and placed the ice packs on her forehead . Travis moved his neck to look at her . " Thank you - I guess , for today , " he murmured , his eyes filled with apology . Larissa pursed her lips . She did not deem it necessary to give him any kind of a response . Travis ' eyes dimmed . Then , he opened his mouth to speak again . " You must be happy to see me like this now , right ? " He said that with a smile , his tone not particularly sharp , but rather , filled with self- deprecation . Yet , Larissa felt a surge of annoyance . " Travis Hardy , could you not think of me as equally lowly and disgusting as your family ? " The way she looked at him conveyed nothing but pure hatred . " If I were given the choice , I really do not want to have anything to do with your family ! Whether you're living your best lives or not , I do not fucking care . As long as you don't show up in front of me and ask me to do things like this , I would be eternally grateful . " The smile on Travis ' face disappeared gradually . He lowered his gaze and replied in a faint voice . " I'm sorry for what I did to you , and I don't blame you for hating me . I didn't know my parents had gone to find you- Larissa , I swear to you , it won't happen again You can just - you can leave I won't les them bother you again . "
