Once Lexi was sleeping soundly, Linda and Chloe went downstairs to the living room.
Samson, Simon, and Celine were seated in the living room, and their expressions weren’t very pleasant.
No one could smile when such a young child got sick.
*Linda, Chloe, come and sit,” Celine said.
The two sisters took their seats, and a maid brought over some floral tea.
“Mrs. Lynch, thank you for all the trouble you and Mr. Lynch have gone through these days,” Linda said sincerely.
Simon responded, “There’s no need to thank us. Lexi’s our granddaughter. She calls us Grandpa and Grandma.”
Celine sighed. “All I can think about now is hoping our precious baby wakes up soon. Seeing her like this really breaks my heart.”
Samson tried to comfort them, saying, “Mom and Dad, don’t worry. It’s normal for a child to get sick from time to time.
“Not just Lexi, but I myself would get sick even if I moved to a new environment. It’s common for people to have trouble adjusting.”
Chloe also reassured Linda, “Linda, Lexi will be alright. Think about how I used to fall ill all the time when I was young.
Linda knew well that children falling ill was a common occurrence.
However, as a mother, her worries were inevitable.
Since Lexi was born, she had brightened Linda’s life, which had previously felt colorless and dull.
Linda had come to care for Lexi as if she were her own child.
To see such a lively and adorable child now suffering daily, with her delicate hands bruised and swollen from injections, how could she not feel distressed?
“Boss, Simon, Celine,” James called out as he entered the room.
Seeing James, Linda felt somewhat reassured.
“James, go check on Lexi.”
James nodded and comforted them, “I know you’re all worried about Lexi, but it’s very common for kids. to get sick. Being overly anxious won’t help.
“I’ve been taking care of Lexi in Usna and know her health very well.
“She’s just adjusting to the new environment, which is why she’s unwell. Don’t worry. She’ll be back to her. Jively self once the fever goes down.”
He looked at Linda. “When that happens, don’t complain about how bothersome she is.“.
Linda managed a smile.
“Let’s go check on Lexi.”
James went upstairs, followed by Samson.
Linda received a phone call and went outside to take it
Chloe stayed in the living room with Simon and Celine,
The couple had been very helpful to Chloe, so their relationship was quite good.
“Mr. and Mrs. Lynch, if you mope around like this, Lexi will be unhappy when she recovers.”
Celine gave a wry smile. “Chloe, you’re still young and don’t quite understand the feelings of us elders.”
But Chloe said, “Even though I’m young, I’m still Lexi’s gunt, so I’m also an elder.”
“Yes, yes. You’re an elder, Simon said with a particularly kind expression.
They were a kind–hearted couple who, despite never having met John, appreciated him for helping Samson in the past.
Therefore, they had always looked after the two sisters.
Such friendships were rare and precious. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
When Linda returned from her phone call, James and Samson came down.
‘She’s starting to gradually recover from the fever. Don’t worry. I’ll stay at home and keep an eye on her these days,” James said to Linda and Samson.
“You two should go to work now,” he added.
