Chapter 15: Fever

POV Author

After finishing eating Cynthia's cake, now the children are back to playing again. Of course this time with Cynthia accompanying them.

Cleo and also Caecilia were playing together, while her son Calix, the little man, was somewhere else.

After eating the cake he just kept silent without saying anything. The little man just said he was going to his room to sleep, Cynthia of course agreed.

Cynthia could also see her son's tired face. Maybe Calix did too many activities so he felt tired.

Meanwhile, Reyna, the woman, was still in the main room talking a little with Cynthia.

"Are the kids bothering you?" Cynthia asked Reyna.

“Ah, no. After all, this is also my job. So it's normal to be bothered," Reyna answered with a chuckle.

After all, what she said was true, wasn't it? Reyna's job was to look after Cynthia's children. Reyna also didn't mind if she was bothered.

Reyna was so grateful to have met and been able to work with Cynthia. How come? Cynthia is a very good woman, as well as handsome and sweet children.

Cynthia involuntarily chuckled at that. Cynthia also tried to make Reyna feel comfortable working with her.

"Oh yes. It's getting late, do you want to stay here?" offered Cynthia.

Reyna didn't sleep at Cynthia's. She would come home if necessary, if something urgent or had to make her stay the night Reyna didn't come home.

"No need, I'll just go home. It's not too late anyway,” Reyna replied.

Reyna would be happy if she had to sleep at Cynthia's house. Besides having someone to talk to, Reyna also doesn't feel lonely.

Reyna just didn't want to interrupt Cynthia's resting time. Reyna was afraid to disturb the woman with three children.

“If you want to stay then stay. I'm fine, Reyna." Reyna nodded happily.

"Mom, where is Calix?" asked Caecilia suddenly.

"He's in the room, honey. What is it?" asked Cynthia.

Caecilia shook her head, the little girl then walked away to the room, followed by Cleo who followed behind her sister.

"Then I'll just go home first." Reyna got up from her seat when she felt her master needed to rest.

Cynthia nodded with a glance, then got up too and immediately escorted Reyna to the front door.

Their house is not too far away. Reyna just needed to walk home.

“Thanks for today,” Cynthia said before Reyna left.

Reyna smiled kindly, “Excuse me...”

After Reyna left, Cynthia immediately locked the door tightly. The woman arranged the toys that had been messed up by the children.

It was Cynthia's routine before she didn't clean up her scattered children's toys.

Cynthia cleaned up all the mess painstakingly without complaining. Doesn't Cynthia deserve a thumbs-up?

If she is tired, of course, Cynthia is very tired! But the woman never complained in the slightest when it came to her child.

"Mom!" Cynthia's activities stopped when she heard Caecilia's voice calling her.

Cynthia immediately approached her daughter with confusion. "What is it?"

"Mom, he said it's cold!" Caecilia screamed again.

Cynthia was stunned for a few moments, finally, to be more precise, she was silent to digest her son's words.

A few seconds later Cynthia immediately opened her eyes in shock.

Cynthia quickly headed to her daughter's room with Caecilia in her arms.

Arriving at the room, Cynthia immediately checked Celix's body temperature.

"Gosh, you have a fever, honey," said Cynthia in shock.

The woman immediately looked for medicine that was in the drawer of the room. Luckily, Cynthia still has febrifuge.

"You wait here, okay? I get some water first.” After getting a nod from her daughter, Cynthia immediately ran to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

A situation like this makes a mother worry. Yes, when the child is sick and without anyone at home.

After getting what she wanted, Cynthia immediately returned to her daughter's room.

Cynthia immediately gave medicine to Celix. At first, the little man refused to take the medicine, but because Cynthia kept insisting, Celix finally took the medicine his mother gave him.

“You guys get some rest too, come here, come be with me, Darling,” Cynthia said as she set up the empty bed beside Calix.

Her two children immediately lay down next to Celix. Cynthia looked after her three children all night.

The woman was awake because sometimes Celix likes to be delirious.

The next day, Calix's condition had not changed. The little man complained of pain all over his body.

Of course that made Cynthia panic. Cynthia grabbed her cell phone and called Reyna immediately.

Cynthia told Reyna to hurry to her house. When Reyna arrived, Cynthia immediately ordered a taxi to go to the hospital.

Cleo and Caecilia? Of course, they were at home with Reyna. Cynthia can't take her child to the hospital, right?

Arriving at the hospital, Cynthia immediately asked the doctor to treat her child.

The doctor immediately examined Celix. After carrying out the examination, Celix was immediately hospitalized.

Cynthia waited for her son in his hospital room while waiting for the results of laboratory tests from the doctor.

The woman stroked her son's mane who was currently sleeping peacefully, unlike last night who easily woke up as if he was uncomfortable.

Maybe this is the effect of the medicine recently injected by the doctor that made his child sleep peacefully.

"Get well soon, dear. So that you can play with your brother and sister again, they are worried about you," Cynthia whispered to Celix.

Not a few minutes later, a doctor entered Celix's room. The doctor had a brown envelope in his hand.

"Let me check, will you, madam?" Cynthia nodded.

The doctor immediately checked Celix's condition, and after that, he handed over the brown envelope he was carrying.

"The results of laboratory tests say that your son has dengue fever, his condition has improved slightly but still needs special treatment," said the doctor.

“W-wh? How come, Doc? I always clean my house, and even yesterday my child didn't complain about anything. Was the Doctor not wrong?” asked Cynthia who still couldn't believe what the doctor said.

“That's right, madam. Dengue fever does have a cycle like a horse's hoof. The fever can come at any time, it can even be cured immediately when the lady gives the medicine, but it's not completely cured, the fever can reappear at any time."

Cynthia was surprised when she heard the doctor's explanation. Ah, I really can't believe it!

"So how was it, Doc?"

"For now, do hospitalization first, your child still needs special care until he is completely recovered."

Cynthia nodded slowly. "Do your best, Doc!"
