I Didn’t Lull You To Sleep Only For You To Be Obsessed With Me

lump flesh would be so thin that only bones remained.

Besides, it was not just that.

The clothes the child was wearing were too small compared to his physique.
In contrast to him, the woman was wearing clean new clothes.
April expected it as well when she heard from Asher, but when she saw it for herself, it was certain…

‘…No matter how you look at it, she seems to have treated Asher as nothing but a nuisance.’

Would she even care that Asher was sick? Perhaps not.
If he said that he was sick, she might just get annoyed and leave the child unattended.

Then, why was she taking the time to throw false allegations towards her like this? Moreover, contrary to the woman’s words, Asher had no pain on his face at all.
Rather, his face, which has added more weight slightly over the past week, looked healthy to anyone who saw it.

There was only one reason April could infer why Asher’s aunt acted like that.

‘…She must have the intention of extorting compensation from me.’

It was not until a week later that she knew April had been giving Asher meals, so now she comes and acts like a guardian.

She tried to be nice, but April could not bring herself to do that.
Still, she knew that there was nothing good about being angry with Asher’s aunt—both for Asher’s sake and herself.
The anger soared to her head, although April answered calmly for once.

“There’s nothing wrong with the food.
I use fresh ingredients every day.”

This was something she was definitely proud of.
In order to keep it fresh, she spent a lot of money to buy a refrigerator with insulated magic.

“Besides, I, who ate with Asher, am fine.”

However, the woman was not at all convinced.
Rather, she began to argue more brazenly.

“Are adults and children the same? He has an upset stomach.”

Of course, children’s stomachs were weak compared to adults.
Nevertheless…

“Asher looks fine, too.”

“Can’t you see that his face has turned white?”

“Asher’s face was originally pale.
It’s because his face was always covered in dirt, and he couldn’t wash it properly.”

“Anyway, I’ve to take him to the clinic, so you’ll have to compensate me back! You know we don’t have a legislator in our town, right? I’ve to go to the next town, so give me the cost of carriage and medicine, as well as my salary because I can’t go to work today!”

In the end, the expected conclusion was revealed.

April reflexively tried to say something, but when Asher and her eyes met, she bit her mouth.

It was because the boy standing behind his aunt kept muttering ‘I’m sorry’ with his mouth.
He then bowed his head as he clasped his little hands and fiddled with his fingers.
