"Client?" Theodore's gaze fell on Everleigh.
"Yes." Without waiting for Everleigh to speak, Adrienne walked into the room and said, "Mommy said that she was treating a client, so her work in the hospital has been delayed."
She delayed her work in the hospital?
"Adrienne." Everleigh came to her senses. "Didn't I tell you to stay in the car? Let's go," she said.
"Did I disturb your work?" Theodore's words interrupted Everleigh, who was pulling Adrienne.
She frowned, picked up the medical kit and said, "Not really. It's just that the hospital formed a group of volunteers to go to the countryside for some work, but I didn't follow my colleagues there. It doesn't matter if I go there a few days later."
"Theodore, are you sick?" Adrienne asked. While Everleigh was lost in her thoughts, Adrienne had already walked up to Theodore. With her head tilted, she examined Theodore with a worried expression on her small face.
Theodore took her hand and pulled her up to sit on the couch. His voice was very soft as he said, "Yes, I'm sick."
"Theodore, did you sneak out to get caught in the rain?"
Theodore's mind went blank for a moment. He didn't understand.
Adrienne said to herself, "You will get sick if you get caught in the rain. It's very uncomfortable to get sick."
In Adrienne's rare experience of illness, she got sick because of the rain several times. Although she still didn't know how to swim, she loved to play with water. In Maniville, Everleigh and Christopher hated rainy days the most. In a moment of carelessness, Adrienne ran out and got caught in the rain.
Looking at Theodore's puzzled expression, Everleigh wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.
Although Theodore didn't really understand, he was very patient to listen to Adrienne's childish words. He grabbed a bunch of grapes from the fruit plate on the coffee table and popped one into her mouth.
Adrienne ate the grape, making herself feel at home, and said vaguely, "Theodore, when you are sick, you need to drink lots of water and sleep more. You can't run around. Then, you can get better quickly."
"Yes, okay."
"Also, you have to eat properly. If not, you will get sick too," she said.
"Adrienne, are you hungry?"
Adrienne rubbed her belly and blinked her eyes. "A little bit."
"Eat something before you leave." Theodore raised his head and looked at Everleigh.
Everleigh carried the medical kit and stood still for a long time. Looking at the inexplicable harmony between her daughter and Theodore in front of her, she had mixed feelings in her heart. Her silence was taken as agreement.
Alastair stayed at the door. He wanted to catch his younger sister, but he couldn't make it in time. After eavesdropping for a while, he turned and went downstairs quietly.
In the dining room on the first floor, the new chef had finished preparing the meal. Moses was helping to set the dining table. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Alastair come downstairs and sit down on the sofa in the living room, and he smiled.
"Joanne, please make some dessert," he ordered.
"Okay." Joanne also looked towards the living room. Women her age were full of joy when they saw a child. "This child is really handsome. Is he Young Master's son?" she asked.
"No, it's Dr. Trevino's son," Moses replied.
"Oh?" Joanne took one more look at him in surprise. "He looks so much like Young Master."
"Go and do your work. Don't say that in front of the Young Master in the future,"
Moses frowned and reminded Joanne in a low voice.
The results of the paternity test had come out. These two children had no blood relationship with the boss. Because of this, the boss was depressed for a long time back then.
