Chapter 31 Matthew

• "How are you feeling today, son?" my mother asked, placing her hand on my forehead to check for a fever. But my skin was cool and calm, and a smile spread across her face. "I was really worried yesterday when you were rushed home by Doctor George." She said and I looked up at her.
• "George?" I asked already beginning to have the wrong idea that Keith must have abandoned me since he wasn't a nice guy after all.
• I may have scared him off, and he may not have wanted to help me. George had probably seen me in my weakened state, and it was understandable that he'd be wary of getting involved. But it still stung to think that Keith might not care about me at all.
