Chapter 81
Maisie looked at the three rugrats on the ground exhaustedly, chuckled, and said, “You three really do know how to make things difficult for me.”
Daisie was the first one to respond. “Mommy, we just want you to get along well with Daddy.”
Colton took over the conversation immediately. “Yes, Mommy, look at us, we don’t have a Daddy, and we’re so pitiful!”
Waylon did not know what to say, so he just nodded his head anyway.
I’m going to wash my face.” Maisie walked straight to the restroom.
Daisie scratched her head “Mommy doesn’t seem to have slept well.”
Colton nodded. “I know, right? Mommy has dark circles under her eyes…” 1 The three rugrats looked at Nolan, who was still sleeping, and crept close to him.
Colton could not help but ask, “Why is Daddy still not awake?”
Daisie and Waylon stared at Nolan for a long time. Waylon then noticed something was wrong and stretched out his hand to touch hís forehead. “Daddy seems to be having a fever!”
Colton was startled “Could it be because we made Daddy soak himself in ice water last night…”
The two little boys suddenly felt a little guilty. Sure enough, they were the ones who had made their father sick.
Maisie picked up the thermometer and looked at 102 degrees Fahrenheit shown on the reading scale.
S
This man actually has a high fever! Daisie looked worried. “Mommy, Daddy has a high fever. Will he die of illness?”
She had heard that people who were sick could die, so she was very scared.
Waylon comforted her. “No, it’s just like the fever and cold that we usually have. We only need to give Daddy some fever reducers.”
“Mommy, here’s the medicine!” Colton ran in at that moment with some fever-reducing medicine that was available at home.
Maisie grabbed the medicine in his hand, picked up a glass of warm water that Daisie brought in, and hesitated for a split second all of a sudden as she stared at the man who was lying on the bed.
‘How can I get this into his body?’
Daisie pouted. “Mommy, Daddy is already sick. How can you drive him away?”
