Love England

On a small white hospital bed, a 5-year-old blond girl was lying there with a rash on her face and body. She was in a coma in excruciating pain because of a fever. Her name was Kate. The only child left in the ward.A day earlier, another boy who had been in the isolation ward with her was out of danger and moved from here.Margaret has been back to Milton for three days. Before she left, she specifically asked me to take care of this little girl named Kate.Little Kate shows no signs of improvement. All the nurses and doctors are worried about this child. Although I have only taken care of her for two days instead of Margaret, my worries are the same as those doctors and nurses. I am afraid of her every minute. Can't survive the next 1 minute.From her expression, I could see that she was struggling in her sleep due to the pain of high fever.In the dream, will she experience the pain of losing her family again?Will she relive the car accident that took her family's life away?Will he witness the scene of his parents dying in front of his eyes again?Recalling that Margaret told me about the child’s life experience before she left, and seeing her face in a nightmare, I couldn’t help speculating about her dream like this.

"Mom...Mom..." Little Kate murmured at this time, her eyes were tightly closed, her brows were furrowed, a strand of blond hair was soaked in sweat and stuck to her forehead, her body was hot, and the continuous high fever made her extremely haggard .The doctor had just been here, he did what he could, now little Kate had to rely on her own will.I couldn't help but pray to God, begging him not to rush to take this poor kid away.I even complained to myself that if Marguerite hadn't left her, maybe things wouldn't have gotten as bad as they are now.It seems that I really have a certain constitution to bring misfortune to those around me: I can't change the fact that Mrs. Hale is ill in Milton, and even make her condition worse, and I put Mr. Thornton into an embarrassing situation. , I couldn't help Nicholas and Bessie, I even disrupted Margaret's life and changed the course of her story.And now, I take Margaret's place in taking care of the child, but the child is getting weaker and weaker under my care.I really hate what I do, maybe this is God's punishment for me.

"Mom...Mom..." Little Kate whispered like a whisper, which was heartbreaking. I held her in my arms, looked at her slightly red face due to fever, smoothed the blond hair on her forehead, and put her Leaning her head on my chest, I held her trembling little hand with the other.While I can't replace her deceased mother, I hope to show her that she is not alone.I held her in my arms and rocked her softly, humming softly the lullaby my mother sang to me in my memory, hoping it would make her comfortable.

"Mom..." Little Kate's call and her breathing became steady, and I felt her little hand holding mine tightly, and her head was tightly leaning against my chest, looking very calm.I kissed her on the forehead, and continued humming the lullaby that I remembered for her softly, before I knew it, I fell asleep with little Kate.

A ray of strong sunlight came in through the window, making my face feel a scorching warmth. I slowly opened my eyes and looked down at my little Kate who was still sleeping in my arms. Her cute little face My son is like an angel bathed in the sun. I listened to her even and rhythmic breathing, and tested her forehead with the temperature of my lips—the fever seemed to be gone!

This is really a reassuring good news!

In order to further confirm the fever reduction, I took out the electronic thermometer from the side drawer and measured the body temperature of little Kate - the result showed that it was 37.6 degrees Celsius, and the fever was indeed gone!In order not to wake her up, I gently put Kate back on the bed, walked out of the ward, and called the doctor immediately-I didn't even realize that it was only 6 o'clock in the morning and the doctor might not be up yet.Two hours later, the doctor came to examine little Kate. She was basically out of danger. As long as she took the medicine on time and got enough rest, the erythema on her body would slowly fade away and she would be fine soon. But in the past two days You also need to stay in the isolation ward for a while to prevent the possibility of spreading scarlet fever to other children during this period.In the next two days, I took good care of Kate with other nurses according to the doctor's instructions. She recovered very quickly. After two days, the spots on her body were basically gone. The doctor decided to send her to the normal ward, and other The recovering child is together.Although her body is still a little weak, she has turned into a lively and lovely little girl who loves to talk and laugh. During this period, Kate and I have also become very good friends. I like to hear her sweet and tender voice. Call me Cali.

When I returned home, I had been in the orphanage for almost a week. Lying on my own bed, besides comfort, it was more of a long-lost feeling.Certain thoughts and questions crept back into my mind: how was Margaret now?Will Mrs. Hale ever recover?Will Mr. Hale readmit students, or invite Mr. Thornton to the house?Will Frederick return to Spain safely?Will Mr Bell talk about me with Margaret?How is Bessie's illness now?Will Nicholas find a job?Will Dixon and Mary be as busy as ever?Will Margaret get to know Mr Thornton again?Will Mr. Thornton still think of me, even resent me?

When I took out Mrs. Gaskell's "The South and the North" from the bookshelf next to the bed and read it again, my reading mood was already different from before. The things described in the book were so distant and strange , but it is so familiar and deja vu, the feeling of nostalgia arises spontaneously, but I may not go back to that world again, I believe that Margaret will be with Mr. Thornton in the end, they will still be together in the end Live happily and forget about me.In order to relieve my sadness, I put the book back on the shelf and wanted to take a glass of ice water from the refrigerator to clear my mind.I got out of bed, stretched my body, and breathed heavily, as if I could get my wild thoughts out of my exhale.Suddenly I heard movement in the storage room, my heart was suddenly tense with excitement, and I hurried to the door of the storage room, where Marguerite appeared with a smile on her face.

"Cali, I'm back!"

"Margaret! How are you back? How is Mrs. Hale? Did you tell Mr. Hale you were coming?"

"Mommy is getting better. After taking the antibiotics you gave, she is getting better soon. Now she can simply get out of bed and walk around! How is little Kate?"

"Little Kate has been transferred from the isolation ward yesterday. The isolation area has been revoked. The children are recovering. You can rest assured, Margaret!"

Margaret hugged me happily, "Thank you, Cali, you not only saved my mother, but also little Kate, I really don't know how to thank you!" She looked up at me for a while and said, "You I seem to have lost some weight in a week, looking very haggard! I really should have come back earlier, I have been thinking about you and little Kate in my heart, but I am relieved to hear that everything is over!"

"No, Margaret, it's your luck that makes everything better, and I just make everything worse."

"Don't say that about yourself, you don't know, you have become an indispensable member of our family, Frederick has been asking me where you have been in the past few days when you were away, and Dad is also— —Of course Mr. Bell is too, it seems that you have already told him about the exchange of time and space between us, haven't you?"

"I am relieved to hear that everyone is well! I think Mr. Bell is a very enlightened and kind person. I don't want to deceive him, and I trust him very much."

"Yes, me too! This time I am here to invite you to go to the London International Industry Fair with me. Edith wrote to invite you to go with me. Mr. Bell will accompany us to London."

"But, Margaret, can Mrs. Hale leave you?"

"Mum had Dad and Frederick, and of course Dixon and Mary, who very much agreed with me and you on this trip, and pushed me to come with you to London. Of course, it would be strange if you showed up out of the blue, so I have already discussed with Mr. Bell that we will secretly send you out of our house first, and then Mr. Bell will pretend to hire a carriage to pick you up. Since it is still early in the morning at my side and everyone has not woken up, let's start now !” Margaret couldn’t help but took my hand to the door of the storage room and turned the handle.

"Strange, why is it locked again? I was able to open the door when I came just now!" Margaret said anxiously.

"Let me try it!" I tried to turn the doorknob, pushed the door open, and the door opened, and the attic of Hale's house was clearly visible on the other side.I immediately asked Margaret to enter the door first, but when Margaret was about to go in, the door closed again, and she tried to open the door again, but there was no response as before.In the end, I opened the door again, and the door opened again. In order not to let the door close and leave Margaret on the other side, I held the door to let Margaret pass and then closed the door.

What is going on here?

Although Margaret and I were both surprised, we can't help the two of us to think about it now. In order to give you a reasonable explanation, Margaret and I followed Mr. Bell's method.In this way, I stepped into this world again, the world I was deeply infatuated with.
