Chapter 3978 
     
After the New Year, Liberty traveled to Jensburg again, instructing Sonny’s teacher to contact Serenity directly if any issues arose. 
When Sonny’s teacher called, Serenity answered immediately. 
“I’ll come pick him up right away. Thank you, teacher,” Serenity said. 
The teacher replied, “Please come as soon as you can and take him to see a doctor. A lot of children have been catching colds recently.” 
After hanging up, Serenity turned to Jasmine. “I can’t stay and chat. Sonny has a fever, and I need to pick him up from kindergarten. He’s been kicking off his quilt at night lately.” 
Although Serenity and Zachary frequently tucked Sonny back under his blanket, they couldn’t always catch him in the act. As a result, Sonny had caught a mild cold. 
Serenity added, “The weather’s been unpredictable lately. Some days it’s so warm I don’t even need a coat. Look at me—I didn’t even bother bringing one today.” 
The daytime temperatures had been climbing above 20 degrees, and with the sun shining brightly, wearing a coat felt unnecessary. 
Jasmine nodded. “Go get Sonny. When you bring him back, call the family doctor to check on him. If it’s not too serious, try to avoid the hospital. There are so many patients and germs there—it’s easy to pick up something worse.” 
The York family’s in-house doctor was renowned for his skill, so Serenity knew Sonny would be in good hands. 
Grabbing her bag, Serenity slipped her phone inside, slung it over her shoulder, and bid Jasmine goodbye. She rushed to the kindergarten to pick up Sonny, notifying the family doctor on the way. 
     
An Hour Later 
At the grand villa in Regent Residences, it wasn’t the York family doctor who saw Sonny first—it was Lilian. 
Lilian had come by for a follow-up visit with Camryn and had stopped to see Serenity afterward. By coincidence, she arrived just as Serenity returned home with Sonny, and Serenity asked Lilian to take a look at him. 
Once home, Serenity took Sonny’s temperature again. 
A few minutes later, she removed the thermometer and frowned. “It’s climbing fast—39 degrees already.” 
It had only been an hour since the teacher’s call, and Sonny’s fever had spiked dramatically. 
“Let me take a look,” Lilian offered. 
Sonny, clearly uncomfortable and drowsy from the high fever, leaned against Serenity as Lilian checked his pulse. 
“Sonny has a mild cold with some inflammation,” Lilian explained. “His throat is red, so avoid giving him high-calorie or heavy foods. Right now, his fever is high. Give him some children’s fever medicine and try physical cooling methods to bring it down faster. Keep him warm but not overheated, and stick to a light diet. He should recover soon.” 
Although Lilian diagnosed Sonny’s condition, she refrained from prescribing medication, instead advising the York family doctor to handle it. 
When the family doctor arrived, he carefully examined Sonny despite Lilian’s assessment. Knowing Lilian’s reputation as a descendant of a renowned miracle doctor, he was still thorough, leaving no room for oversight. 
The butler had already fetched the family’s emergency medicine kit. Sonny often stayed at the house, so they kept common children’s medications, including fever reducers, on hand. 
After giving Sonny some fever medicine and a glass of warm water, Serenity held him close. Sonny rested his head on her shoulder, murmuring, “Auntie, I’m sleepy.” 
“Go ahead and sleep,” Serenity said softly. “I’ll hold you.” 
Cradling him in her arms, she added, “Let’s take your medicine first. Once you wake up, the fever should be gone.”
