"Mom?" Ivy was being clingy, crawling into Rosalynn's arms, "Where's my brother?"
"He's fine," Rosalynn's nose tingled and tears threatened to fall, "Ivy, you have a fever."
"Huh?" Ivy was puzzled, lying in Rosalynn's arms, "No wonder I can't keep my eyes open..."
"Don't worry, we'll take some medicine and you'll be better soon."
Ivy didn't resist taking the medicine, knowing it would make her feel better, and obediently let Rosalynn feed it to her.
After taking the medicine, Rosalynn put a fever patch on Ivy, and held her the whole time.
Wayne came over and saw Rosalynn secretly wiping away tears.
His heart ached, and he took a thermometer to check Ivy's temperature again.
After taking the medicine, Ivy's fever went down a bit.
"Where's Cory?" Rosalynn turned her face away, not wanting Wayne to see her crying.
"He's playing chess with Baillie. I didn't tell him his sister is sick."
"Good, don't tell him. He'll worry," Rosalynn replied.
"Let me hold her," Wayne whispered.
Rosalynn hesitated, but Wayne had already reached over and picked up Ivy.
Rosalynn was worried that Ivy wouldn't like it, but she sleepily opened her eyes, looked at Wayne, and closed them again without any sign of reluctance.
She slept in Wayne's arms for another hour.
When she woke up, she was much more groggy than before.
Sitting in a chair, Wayne checked her temperature again, and she still had a slight fever.
"Mom!" Ivy suddenly remembered something, looking at Rosalynn with newfound energy, "When my brother had a fever on the island, the doctor gave him ice cream. Since I have a fever, can I have ice cream too?"
Rosalynn was taken aback, then laughed helplessly, "Sure, tell your dad take you to buy some."
