Sonny murmured softly, “The medicine is going to taste so bitter.” 
Serenity smiled gently. “Medicine might taste bitter, but good medicine helps you get better.” 
With her soothing encouragement, Sonny reluctantly took his medicine, drank a glass of water, and went to the bathroom. Afterward, he nestled into Serenity’s arms and quickly fell asleep. 
Serenity stood up, intending to carry Sonny upstairs to his room. 
“Let me carry him. You’re pregnant,” Lilian said, her tone thoughtful and firm. 
Before Serenity could respond, the butler quickly interjected, “Doctor Carden, Madam, please allow me. I’ll carry Master Sonny upstairs.” 
He stepped forward, carefully lifting Sonny from Serenity’s arms. As a guest and trusted doctor of the family, Lilian shouldn’t be burdened with such tasks. Serenity followed the butler upstairs while Lilian stayed behind. 
For Lilian, Sonny’s cold was a minor issue, but she cared deeply for the little boy and had personally stepped in to ensure he was okay. 
     
In Sonny’s room, Serenity sat on the edge of the bed, gently smoothing the blanket over him. Turning to the butler, she said, “Thank you. Please help me entertain Dr. Carden while I stay here for now.” 
“Of course, Madam,” the butler replied with a respectful nod before leaving the room. 
Just then, Serenity’s phone rang. It was Liberty. 
The kindergarten teacher had sent Liberty a message about Sonny’s condition, and her voice was filled with concern. 
“Seren, how’s Sonny doing?” Liberty asked anxiously. 
Before Sonny turned two, he often caught colds and fevers. On several occasions, he battled viral infections, spiking high fevers for days. Liberty and Serenity had taken turns nursing him through those sleepless nights. Back then, Liberty had been heavier, but every time Sonny fell ill, the stress and lack of sleep would take its toll, and she’d shed a few pounds. 
As Sonny grew older and began practicing martial arts, his immune system had strengthened, and illnesses had become rare. 
Serenity reassured her, “He’s got a fever. It was 38 degrees at school, but by the time I brought him home, it had climbed to 39 degrees.” 
Liberty immediately asked, “What did the doctor say? Did you give him any fever medicine?” 
“For 38 degrees, I would’ve just tried cooling him down,” Liberty added. “But at 39, he definitely needs medicine.” 
“It was perfect timing,” Serenity explained. “Dr. Carden happened to be here for a follow-up with Camryn and stayed to see me. She checked on Sonny, gave him some medicine, and now he’s asleep.” 
As Serenity spoke, she reached out to gently touch Sonny’s forehead. 
“He hasn’t started sweating yet,” she observed, knowing from experience that sweating often marked the start of a fever breaking. 
“Dr. Carden said it’s just a cold with some inflammation. His throat is a bit red, but it’s nothing serious. She didn’t prescribe anything herself but had the family doctor write up a prescription. He was extra cautious, probably because of her reputation, but she approved of his prescription without any criticism,” Serenity said with a small laugh. 
The family doctor, who was older and highly skilled, had clearly been nervous under Lilian’s watchful gaze. He’d written the prescription with painstaking care, and only when Lilian gave a nod of approval did he seem to relax. 
“I was half-worried she’d critique his work,” Serenity added with a chuckle. 
She sighed softly. “Sonny’s been kicking off his blanket at night. Zachary and I keep covering him, but somehow, he always ends up cold.” 
Liberty empathized. “That’s just how kids are. Honestly, even adults do the same thing when they’re half-asleep and feel hot.” 
“Once he takes the medicine, he’ll recover soon,” Liberty reassured her. “But make sure you’re taking precautions too. Wear a mask when you’re caring for him so you don’t catch his cold. You’re pregnant, Seren, and it’ll be a bigger issue if you get sick.” 
Hearing Liberty’s advice, Serenity nodded. “You’re right. I’ll be careful.” 
Relieved but still protective, Liberty added, “Take care of yourself. You’ve got two little ones to think about now.”
