At the airport, Mike brought Layla and Hayden to pick them up.
"If Mommy knew that Robert is sick, she would surely be heartbroken," Layla mumbled.
Robert had a fever the night before. He had some fever medication. His temperature dropped but rose again after a few hours.
Robert had been born prematurely. His body was slightly weaker compared to other normal children.
"He doesn't have any fever anymore, right? It's just a cold. Your mother is a doctor. She won't be frightened by this," Mike said.
"But Robert's voice is as hoarse as a duck's! " Layla thought about how hoarse Robert’s voice was at that moment. She could not help but want to laugh.
While they were chatting, Elliot and Avery walked over.
"What are you all talking about? We could see you laughing from afar." Avery walked over to Layla and patted her on the head." It's already so late, why are you not at home resting?”
"I'm on winter break. I don't need to wake up early tomorrow. Hayden wants to come to pick you up, of course, I will want to come too." Layla tugged on Avery's hand and said, "Mommy, Robert has a fever."
"What a coincidence," Elliot said. "Your Mommy has a fever too, but her fever subsided on the plane."
"Mommy, why did you not look after yourself? But Robert is worse off than you. His voice has turned hoarse." "Has he been outside?" Avery said heartbrokenly. "The last time he had a fever was because he had caught a cold."
"I don't know. Hayden and I were playing outside, but we did not catch a cold," Layla muttered softly. "Mommy, how did you catch a cold?"
Avery scratched her head. "I don't know either, but I'm better already."
Returning home, Avery saw the weary -looking Robert. She immediately picked him up.
"Baby, you must be feeling terrible. Have you had your medicine?"
Mrs. Cooper smiled and said, "The medicine that the doctor prescribed this time is sweet. Robert likes taking it. " "Avery, you should take some medicine too, " Elliot reminded her. "Go take a shower first!"
Avery nodded >a-
"Mrs. Cooper, it's late, why don't you take Robert to bed!"
