Mommy never liked to lie in. What is going on?
“Mommy… Mommy…”
Nicole opened her eyes and mustered a little smile when she saw Maya. “Are you hungry?” she sounded very weak.
Her mother’s pale face prompted her to reach out to touch her forehead. She then screamed at the top of her voice, “Oh no, Nina! Mommy’s forehead is burning up!”
Nina immediately got out of bed and handed the thermometer to Nicole.
Nina was very shocked when she saw the reading on the thermometer.
“Maya, Mommy has a fever. Go and get Kyle and Juan over here to help.”
Maya nodded vigorously as she turned and tottered to the front porch.
She was running too quickly that she fell onto the floor with a thud.
Instead of crying, she got up and continued to run.
Kyle and Juan were having breakfast when an out-of-breath Maya burst in, “Oh no, Mommy’s ill!”
Evan could not help but was startled by that.
Ill?
Was it because she was submerged too long in that cold water yesterday?
It would be good for her to be sick this once. Let’s see if she would dare to flirt so brazenly next time in her bid to get closer to me!
Juan turned to Evan worriedly, “Daddy, Mommy is ill. You should take her to the hospital.”
“Daddy, can you call our family doctor to come here to check on Mommy?” Kyle was very worried as well.
Evan was particularly calm as he glanced at them and said nonchalantly, “Finish your breakfast first.” He then turned to Maya, “Do you want to join us?”
Maya blinked and swallowed her saliva at the sight of the delicious food on the table. However, she shook her head determinedly, “I’m not eating. Uncle Evan. Please help my Mommy.”
Even though she was very hungry, Mommy was more important.
It surprised Evan to see the little foodie turning down a delicious meal just because of Nicole.
When Juan and Kyle realized that Maya was able to resist even the most delicious food, they could not take it anymore. They immediately put down their cutlery to force Evan to help.
