Amelia had thought it over, but she truly couldn’t figure out who would secretly feed Nina things.
The adults in their own family definitely wouldn’t do it.
And Brian… from what she’d heard, he seemed sensible. He probably wouldn’t feed her either.
After this round of elimination, Amelia was completely stumped.
Benjamin put his arm around Amelia’s shoulders, his voice low and soothing. “Amelia, don’t worry. We’ll watch her ourselves for the next couple of days.
“She won’t be able to eat anything she shouldn’t under our watch.”
Benjamin and Amelia didn’t dare let Nina be taken to play by anyone else anymore-not even Daniel.
Daniel didn’t argue with their decision. He just nodded, with a tissue up his nose.
He had caught the cold, too.
While Nina wasn’t getting better, the two grown men, Daniel and Erik, hadn’t escaped catching it either.
But Daniel wasn’t as difficult as Nina-he knew to take his medicine.
Daniel took care of himself when he was ill, but when Nina got sick, she only made things hard for the adults.
And it wasn’t just the adults she troubled; Nina suffered herself plenty.
Taking her nap, she hadn’t slept long before her nose got stuffed up again, making it hard to breathe.
Unable to breathe, Nina first tried sniffling.
When that didn’t work, she started crying again with her eyes closed.
Benjamin had developed a reflex by now upon hearing her cry.
He picked Nina up, patting her back to soothe her.
Amelia also grabbed a tissue to wipe her nose.
Despite their efforts, Nina couldn’t fall back asleep.
She woke up gasping because her nose was stuffy.
Sleep-deprived and breathless, Nina cried in Benjamin’s arms, “Daddy, I feel bad.”
She couldn’t explain exactly where she felt bad, but she just kept crying and saying that.
Hearing this, Amelia felt tears welling up.
In just these few short days, Nina’s chubby little face seemed to have thinned out a bit.
Amelia’s heart ached terribly for her.

Chapter 309 Sneak Treats
Benjamin, watching Nina suffer, said nothing, but his heart was clenched tight, too.
“Nina.” Holding Nina with one arm, he used his other hand to wipe her tears.

As her sobs subsided a little, he asked gently, “Can you tell me… did anyone give you fruit, candy, or snacks?”
His question was a bit too broad.
Amelia tried a different approach patiently. “Nina, can you tell me everything you ate yesterday?”
