Chapter 1000
Charlie strode in, only realizing after he was inside that he might have been a bit presumptuous “is Kya’s mom
home?” he asked.
Ms. Simmons immediately replied. “No, she’s out taking care of a sick person
Charlie’s face darkened, “She leaves her own sick daughter
name of someone else?”
Ms. Simmons quickly defended. “It’s not like that, really had no choice
But Charlie didn’t stick around to hear the rest. He stepped into the living room, finding Kya lying on the couch
crying. She had a fever and appeared weak, which really tugged at his heartstrings.
“Kyal”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCharlie put down the fruit he brought lifted Kya into his arms, Tm here, where do you feel unwell?”
Kya leaned on him with a wronged expression, tear stains still visible on her face
Chaletouched her forehead, it was burning hot
He couldn’t help but feel anxious, “Has she been having a fever the whole time?”
“No”Ms. Simmons explained. “Kya’s mom said Kya had a fever last night, but it subsided after medication. She was
fine this moming, but the fever kicked in again after lunch
Annoyed. Charlie said. “We need to take her to the hospital
Ms. Simmons quickly replied. “Kids in the neighborhood had this before, and it was the same recurring fevers. The
hospital couldn’t do much, as long as we give her antipyretics on time, it’s fine.”
Charlie frowned, made a call
Listening to his conversation, it seemed the doctor’s advice was similar to what Ms. Simmons said. The viral
infection had to run its course, fever would last for a few days, and things should clear up after another three days
of observation.
After hanging up, Charlie asked Ms. Simmons, “Did you give kya her fever medication?”
“did” Ms. Simmons quickly responded.
Charlie nodded, cuddling Kya he cooed, “The medicine will kick in soon, don’t cry anymore”
Clinging tightly to him, Kya stopped crying.
Charlie couldn’t resist kissing her forehead, his voice soft. “Sleep now, you’ll feel better when you wake up
“Don’t leave Kya’s small hand gripped his shirt.
Charlie felt a pang in his heart. “I won’t leave. I’ll stay with you.”
Kya closed her eyes in relief.
Ms. Simmons chuckled. “Why is Kya so attached to you?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCharlie smiled. “Maybe we just have a special bond.”
“You’re perhaps right! M. Simmons agreed.
Holding Kya, Charlie paced slowly until she fell asleep.
Tiltako Kya to her room, Ms. Simmons offered
Looking at the sleeping Kya, Charlie didn’t want to put her down, he found a comfortable position for her to lie in, I
hold her so she won’t be startled awake.” “But…” Ms. Simmons hesitated, “It’s tiring to hold a child while sleeping, I
can do it.”
“It’s fine, you can go do your thing”
Charlie’s tone was light but firm, leaving Ms. Simmons no choice but to retreat to the bedroom to fetch a blanket.
Charlie sat on the couch with Kya sleeping in his arms. He carefully covered Kya with the blanket Ms. Simmons
brought
Ms. Simmons watched his gentle movements and asked, “Sir, are you mamed?”
Charlie looked up. “Not yet.”
