Munchkin was sleeping when I arrived.
Petra sat on the bed looking worriedly at Munchkin, saying, "He said he was sleepy after having breakfast this morning and has been sleeping until now."
I reached out and touched Munchkin's forehead. It was indeed a little hot. I sighed and said, "Munchkin was born a premature baby and never had much breast milk, which is why he’s physically weak.
Whaldorf City is too cold in the autumn, and with the air being less fresh, it’s easy for him to fall sick."
"Was he often sick when you were in Zenon previously?"
I shook my head. "Zenon's temperature is optimal throughout the year. He never really fell sick there."
Petra let out a long sigh. "I've been thinking of ways to nourish his body lately, but he doesn't have an appetite and only eats a little each time. It frustrates me to see him getting skinnier and skinnier.”
"He's just a little boy and can't get sick all the time. Why don't you take him to Zenon for a period of time to recuperate? It won't work if this continues."
I nodded. "I've been considering taking him to Zenon too."
I had been thinking about this matter for the past few days. Since I had no work to do right now, nor did I have anything to do, I could use this opportunity to take Munchkin to Zenon until the new year. His body would not be able to handle the constant sickness.
However, Theo would surely not allow me to take Munchkin to Zenon all by myself and might even come with us. That would delay his work too much, mainly because Jordan was constantly lying in wait to attack Grant Corporation. If Theo left Whaldorf City for too long, I feared he might try something again.
"I can’t go now. When Theo is done with things here, then we'll take Munchkin to Zenon for a period of time."
I looked at Munchkin’s face and thought of Sky. They were about the same age and could be great playmates if they got to know each other.
