Serenity paused for a moment before saying, “The next time Uncle Brown and his family come to pick up Sonny, I’ll remind them not to give him too much spicy or irritating food. Sonny’s throat gets inflamed easily, even with just a little. He can’t handle it.” 
As Sonny’s aunt, Serenity was familiar with the Brown family dynamics, and she knew her approach would be more effective. 
Mr. and Mrs. Brown wouldn’t argue with her since they understood she had Sonny’s best interests at heart. But if Duncan were the one to bring it up, it might spark misunderstandings. The Browns might think Duncan was trying to drive a wedge between them and Sonny. Sonny living with his mother in the Lewis household was already a sore spot for the Browns. Still, they knew it was ultimately for Sonny’s future, so they didn’t openly protest. 
Mrs. Brown had once suggested to her son, Hank, that they should fight for custody of Sonny. 
But Hank refused. After discussing the matter with his parents, they agreed it was better for Sonny to stay with Liberty. Living with her simply offered him a better environment. 
Even after Liberty moved to Jensburg, Serenity remained in Wiltspoon and took care of Sonny like he was her own child. That gave the Browns peace of mind. 
At least Sonny wasn’t living full-time in the Lewis household. 
Liberty and Duncan, though married, hadn’t moved into the Lewis family home. Instead, they lived in Liberty’s house, which made the Browns feel a bit better. 
Understanding Serenity’s intentions, Duncan replied, “Alright. When they come for Sonny next time, remind them. Also, make sure Sonny knows he can’t eat too much of that stuff. If he wants it, we can fry some for him ourselves—it’s safer that way.” 
Sonny’s favorite foods—fried chicken, chips, and the like—were considered junk food by most people. 
“It’s better if we prepare those treats at home,” Duncan added. 
Sonny, feeling restricted at home, would sometimes tell his grandparents what he wanted to eat. Desperate to make him happy, his grandparents would give in. They would have granted him anything he asked for—fried chicken and chips were nothing in comparison. 
“I’ll go check on Sonny later,” Duncan said in a low voice. “I’m meeting with an important client right now, so I can’t leave yet.” 
“Sonny’s fever is already going down, Brother Duncan,” Serenity reassured him. “Focus on your work. Don’t worry about Sonny—I’ll take good care of him.” 
Duncan didn’t argue and hung up, but he had already decided to visit Sonny once his client left. He’d ask his bodyguard to drive him to Zachary’s house. Sonny was sick, and Duncan wanted to check on him personally. 
After Liberty left for Jensburg on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Sonny had stayed with Duncan for two days before moving to Serenity’s care. Duncan knew his physical limitations made it hard for him to care for Sonny properly. He wasn’t as attentive or meticulous as Serenity. 
To ensure Sonny was in the best hands, Duncan sent him to Zachary and Serenity’s house, trusting them to look after him. 
Even though Duncan’s parents offered to take Sonny back to the Lewis family home, Duncan declined. Sonny didn’t need his grandparents hovering over him—he was old enough to manage without their constant attention. 
When Duncan asked Sonny where he wanted to stay, Sonny had no hesitation in choosing his Aunt Seren. 
Back at Zachary’s house, Serenity gently wiped Sonny’s sweat again before standing up and leaving the child’s room. 
Downstairs, Lilian was waiting. It was a rare visit, and Serenity didn’t want to ignore her. 
When Serenity came down, Lilian asked, “Is Sonny’s fever going down now?” 
“Yes,” Serenity said with a nod. “He took some fever medicine, and his temperature is starting to drop. He’s been sweating a lot—I’ve wiped him down twice already.”
