Lilian said, “It’s just a common cold. As long as there’s no sore throat, he’ll be fine once the fever breaks. Don’t worry too much. Just give him medicine for a couple of days, watch his diet, and stick to light foods.” 
Serenity sat down beside her and replied, “I spoke with Duncan earlier. He told me Sonny’s grandparents had him over last Saturday and fed him fried chicken, French fries, potato chips, and all sorts of junk food. With the climate here, eating too much of that stuff can easily irritate the throat.” 
When Serenity was single, she’d occasionally treat herself to fried chicken from KFC— fried wings were her favorite. But she always followed up with a cup of herbal tea. If she skipped the tea, her throat would start hurting within two days. 
That’s why most people in Wiltspoon preferred lighter food. It wasn’t just a preference— it was a necessity. 
“How’s Camryn doing?” Serenity asked, her tone filled with concern. 
Camryn, her sister-in-law, had been working on improving her health so she could eventually conceive and experience motherhood like any other woman. 
Lilian took a sip of her hot tea and answered, “She’s doing much better. After this year’s treatment, she won’t need any more medication. Once she stops the medicine for six months, she’ll be ready to try for a baby.” 
Serenity did a quick mental calculation. By the time Camryn had her first child, she’d be around thirty—not too old. 
“These days, a lot of career-driven women don’t even think about marriage until their thirties,” Lilian added. “By the time they have kids, they’re considered older moms. But most just have one child anyway.” 
Camryn and Callum, however, both adored children. Lilian figured they’d probably want at least two. And why not? Callum could more than afford to raise them. Even Camryn had the financial means. They were both wealthy enough to provide a great life for any number of kids. 
“That’s great news,” Serenity said with a smile. “Camryn loves children, and Callum does too. Even though he keeps saying he doesn’t just to ease any pressure on her.” Lilian chuckled softly. “The men in your family are so thoughtful.” 
Serenity grinned. “Your family’s pretty great too. Are you and Tim thinking about having a second child?” 
Lilian shook her head firmly. “Nope. I’m not interested in having another baby, and Tim’s on the same page. Besides, I already have an apprentice who’s like a son to me, and Jane’s kids keep the house lively enough.” 
Raising a baby, in Lilian’s eyes, was an exhausting task she wasn’t eager to repeat. 
“That’s why I still see patients when I get the chance,” Lilian admitted. “It gives me an excuse to avoid dealing with babies.” 
Her master often scolded her and Tim for being such hands-off parents. Whenever he visited FC Manor, they’d leave their son, Fabian, in his care and take a step back. But Fabian didn’t seem to mind—he loved tagging along with his grandfather. 
Serenity, meanwhile, gently touched her stomach, her eyes glowing with maternal affection. “I love the chaos of a full house. In a few years, when the time is right, I’d love to have a daughter.” 
“What if it’s another son?” Lilian teased. 
“Then I’ll embrace it,” Serenity said with a quick smile. “But I trust what the master told me.” 
Lilian, ever the doctor, trusted science over fortune-telling, but she decided to stay quiet. She’d heard plenty about Serenity’s master and had even asked around. Apparently, the master had quite the reputation for his skills. 
Even so, Lilian stuck to her belief in science. Everyone had their own convictions, after all. 
Changing the subject, she asked, “Did your sister head to Jensburg so soon? The New Year’s barely over—it’s only the tenth day. Most factories are just reopening today. Schools, too. They’re starting earlier this year, though in the past, it was usually after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.” 
Lilian reminisced about her own school days. Back then, classes typically resumed after the fifteenth day of the lunar New Year. The earliest they’d ever started was around the eleventh or twelfth day.
