Chapter 1726Chapter 1726
Sonny blinked, but he did not know how to express his discomfort.
“He’s usually very loud, but he’s groggy today.
He must be unwell.
Bring the thermometer over and measure his temperature, Seren.” Serenity had already brought the
thermometer without Zachary telling her and took Sonny’s temperature.
A few minutes later, Zachary took the thermometer from Sonny’s armpit and handed it to Serenity.
She held it up to look at it.
She said, “100.9 degrees Fahrenheit.
He has a fever.
His temperature didn’t feel hot when I touched his forehead, but the number on the thermometer is so
high.
I’ll head upstairs to change my clothes.
Let's bring him to the hospital now.
“Tl call his instructor to request a leave of absence too.” Serenity took out her phone and called the
self-defense instructor from the gym to request a day off on Sonny’s behalf as she spoke.
Zachary said, “Don’t panic.Let’s try lowering his temperature first, then call the family doctor to check on him.” “That works too.”
Serenity turned to pour a glass of warm water for her nephew.
novelbin“ Here, Sonny.
Drink some water.
You have to drink more warm water since you have a fever.” Sonny was bundled up in Zachary’s
embrace.
He looked sluggish.
Serenity sat down and held the glass for Sonny to drink from it.
He refused to drink more after taking half a glass of water.
“Do you want some porridge, Sonny?” He nodded.
Serenity got up.
She took a cooling patch and put it on Sonny before scooping a bowl of oatmeal porridge and feeding it
to him.
Sonny stopped after eating half a bowl as he did not feel well.
He refused to eat more, no matter how Serenity coaxed him.
Although Serenity was not a mother, she had been raising Sonny since he was born.
The relationship between the aunt and nephew was comparable to that of a mother and son.
She was anxious about his fever.She made him drink warm water again and carried him upstairs for a warm shower.
Serenity measured his temperature again after half an hour and got more anxious when she saw his
temperature did not go down much.
She got hold of the home first aid kid to look for medication.
She took some ibuprofen and retook Sonny’s temperature.
Seeing that it had fallen to 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, she put down the ibuprofen and did not give him
any medication.
Upon witnessing her flustered manner, Zachary asked Sam to contact the family doctor to make a
house call.
In the meantime, Jasmine sent a message to Serenity as she did not see her at the bookstore.
After finding out that Sonny had a fever, she replied to Serenity: [Take care of Sonny.
I’ll handle the bookstore.
] She only asked because she thought something had happened to her friend.
Serenity had not told her sister about the fever yet.
She did not want Liberty to worry.
Liberty was busy and tired too.
Liberty had to manage All You Can Eat and care for Duncan at the hospital.Serenity would only break it to her sister after the family doctor had checked on Sonny and his fever
had gone down.
“Seren, have something to eat first.” Zachary added, “You haven't even had breakfast.” “Okay.
I'll go and grab some food and take over afterward.” Sonny would become clingy when he was sick.
He would not sit and play on the floor.
Even if they put him on the sofa, he would pout.
Zachary had no choice but to keep carrying the child.
Serenity filled her stomach as fast as she could.
After that, she replaced Zachary to let him have breakfast.
Soon, the family doctor came.
After conducting a checkup on Sonny, the doctor said, “The little guy caught a cold.
Remember not to lower the temperature of the air conditioner too much.
Missus, what’s the child’s temperature now?” “I wanted to give him ibuprofen after he took a warm
shower, but I didn’t because his temperature dropped to 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit when I measured it
again.
I don’t know his temperature now, but I think it decreased again when I touched his forehead.” Serenity
recounted as she took the thermometer to measure Sonny’s temperature again.
