I! Cleaner!

"Waaah!"

Stretching her neck and wailing loudly, Melanie, with her eyes red-rimmed, stole a glance at her sister, who was filled with guilt beside her, then sobbed and whimpered:

"I told you it wasn't me, it wasn't me, but you wouldn't believe me, and you said I was lying... Waaah... my butt... my butt hurts..."

"I apologize, I did not take good care of Miss Melanie."

Looking at Melanie, who was crying exceptionally sadly, the female official in charge of taking care of her couldn't help but lower her head, explaining to Lyon with a slightly apologetic expression:

"Miss Melanie started snoring halfway through her sleep, and a lot of saliva was drooling from the corner of her mouth, so I thought I'd help her wipe it off, so it wouldn't stick to her face when she woke up.

But the water pipes in your apartment are a bit rusty, and I couldn't turn the switch. The water in the kettle was also cold, so I took a towel downstairs to the apartment manager and asked for some warm water, and then..."

Then, by the time you came back with the wet towel, Anna had already started hitting her, right?

After listening to the female official's explanation, Lyon couldn't help but wave his hand helplessly, indicating that it wasn't her fault. After all, his younger sister's sleeping posture was too bad, and she was just trying to help.

It was just that, unexpectedly, while she was away, Anna was worried about William's condition and rushed back halfway to take a look. As a result, as soon as she entered the door, she smelled alcohol everywhere, and Melanie was sleeping soundly with a flushed face. After waking her up, she reeked of alcohol as soon as she opened her mouth, and then she started hitting her on the spot.

"Waaah, I'm so wronged!"

When the female official finished explaining and the guilt in Anna's eyes deepened by three points, Melanie's crying suddenly became three points louder. She sniffed and sobbed as she said:

"I was very good today, I finished my homework honestly, and I was the one who changed the wet towel on William's head. But I still got beaten... Waaah!"

"Alright, alright, stop howling!"

Although Melanie was indeed wronged, her crying was a little too fake. Unable to watch any longer, Lyon couldn't help but offer with a wry smile:

"When your sister Anna came in, she saw that situation. Anyone would have misunderstood. So it's all big brother's fault. Big brother accidentally got you drunk. How about I increase your allowance next month?"

"Waaah, my butt hurts..."

"The month after next too!"

"Butt..."

"Add another month!"

"It's a little better, but it still hurts..."

"..."

You greedy little devil!

Looking at Melanie, who was using her butt to demand an allowance, Lyon couldn't help but narrow his eyes, then said meaningfully:

"Then how about this? You betray your big brother for money, prepare to pour water into the school's door hinges, and ask your sister-in-law for..."

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Unexpectedly, even though they were talking so well, Lyon suddenly started to flip the table. Melanie screamed twice to cover up the most crucial question, then twisted her little butt twice and said with a face full of surprise:

"It doesn't hurt anymore! It suddenly doesn't hurt anymore!"

"It's better?"

"It's better, it's better! It's really better!"

Looking at the half-smiling expression on her big brother's face, and the gaze of her sister Anna beside her, which was changing from guilt to suspicion, Melanie couldn't help but regret that she had asked for too much, then blinked her eyes and said:

"That... there seems to be some movement in the inner room. William is probably awake. I'll go check on him!"

"Okay, go ahead, go ahead."

Letting go of Melanie, who had promptly admitted defeat, and not exposing the crucial issue of her claiming that she wanted to "leech off her sister-in-law", Lyon reached out and stopped Anna, who wanted to chase after her, and advised with a smile:

"Forget it, forget it. You've already hit her anyway."

"That's different!"

After struggling twice without breaking free, Anna couldn't help but stomp her foot and said a little angrily:

"Big brother! Hitting someone by mistake is hitting someone by mistake! Making a mistake is making a mistake! I hit her by mistake before, so I can apologize to her and compensate her properly. But making a mistake is making a mistake! I definitely have to educate her again!"

"Alright, alright, you're right. I definitely have to educate her!"

Knowing Anna's serious personality very well, Lyon didn't discuss with her whether she should hit her or not, but held Anna's hand and gently reminded her:

"But she just suffered a grievance and was beaten by you for no reason. If she has to go through it again right away, wouldn't that be too miserable? Why don't you wait for her to calm down, and educate her after her butt doesn't hurt anymore?"

"I..."

Although she knew that Lyon was stalling for time, preparing to wait until her anger subsided before talking about it, Anna's heart, which had been barely hardened, couldn't help but soften slightly when she thought of her younger sister's aggrieved appearance just now. Then, she went along with the flow and stopped, pursing her lips and saying:

"Then wait two days... that's fine too..."

"That's right!"

Looking at his younger sister, who had calmed down again, Lyon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Melanie, ah, Melanie, even though big brother caused you to be beaten for no reason this time, he also helped your little butt avoid a disaster in return. So this time, it's even!

"Thank you for your trouble today."

After persuading Anna, who wanted to do it again, and pulling her to sit on the sofa, Lyon nodded slightly to the two female officials in the living room and said in a gentle voice:

"Veronica is also a little drunk, so I'll send her back to rest first. She asked you to go back to her bedroom to find her. Also, thank you for taking care of my younger brother and sister."

"You're too kind."

"This is all we should do."

Faced with Lyon's sincere thanks, the two female officials, who were a little "overwhelmed by favor", quickly shook their heads, saying that they had only done their duty, then took the initiative to say goodbye.

After getting up and sending the two female officials out the door, Lyon looked at his younger sister, who was still a little sullen on the sofa, and thought for a while before taking the initiative to start a conversation:

"By the way, Anna, did something happen today? Why did the poorhouse suddenly take in so many people?"

"I'm not very clear either..."

After hearing Lyon's question, Anna's delicate eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle. Then, she glanced at William's room and answered with some worry:

"Starting this morning, I don't know what happened, but suddenly a lot of people suddenly had a low fever. The new hospital on Red Brick Road doesn't have enough beds, and they're worried about a large-scale disease, so they can only evacuate and isolate them nearby, and arrange them in several large public facilities nearby..."

Low fever?

Lyon couldn't help but pause slightly when he heard this, then subconsciously asked:

"Contagious disease?"

"No."

Anna shook her head and said:

"If this situation were a contagious disease, then I wouldn't have come home, but would have stayed in the poorhouse to organize isolation.

Many doctors have repeatedly checked and confirmed that the symptoms of these people with low fevers are not contagious, and even don't put any pressure on the body. It's just a simple low fever that doesn't go away, at most just some dizziness... Oh, right!"

Speaking of this, she seemed to have remembered something, looked up at the top of Lyon's head, and then asked with some concern:

"How are you? Do you feel like you have a fever?"
