Worried about the possibility of further accidents, Aunt Tonya and Theodore moved the barbecue grill
and ingredients over to the front yard.
Sylvia and the two little ones saw them just as they came out of the living room.
When she got a whiff of the fragrant barbecue, Isabel immediately forgot that she had just fallen into
the lake playing with the water. She immediately wanted to run over with her little legs so she could eat
the meat, but she was pulled back by Liam’s hand.
She pouted unhappily.
Liam frowned.
Instantly, the little girl put on an obedient expression and said earnestly, “Liam, I want to eat some
meat.”
Liam hummed in reply. Then, he led her to the table and got her to sit down before allowing her to eat.
When she observed this scene, Sylvia did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He had changed into a loose gray sweater and a pair of
trousers. His blow-dried hair casually hung down at his temples.
However, his face looked even paler than before.
Feeling like something was wrong, Sylvia went up to ask him, “Thomas, did you catch a cold?”
Thomas replied, “I’m fine.”
She frowned. “Your voice sounds a little hoarse.”
“I’ll be fine after drinking some water.” He smiled at her. With that, he went to sit in the other chair and
poured himself a cup of warm water.
Sylvia saw that there did not seem to be anything wrong, so she did not dwell on it.
After dinner, she took the two little ones to their room as usual.
Although Isabel seemed hale and hearty, she had fallen into the water earlier. Thus, Sylvia was worried
that she might get sick and gave the girl some medication to prevent a cold.
Then, she gave Isabel a bath before tucking both Liam and her into bed.
It was already late at night.
She was just about to wash up when she suddenly remembered how Thomas had jumped into the
water to save Isabel.
‘I wonder if he took any medicine to prevent a cold.’
After thinking for a moment, she decided to go ask him.
He lived on the third floor. Sylvia left her room, walked up the stairs, and quickly arrived outside his
room door. Knocking on the door, she asked, “Thomas, are you asleep?”
After two seconds, a hoarse male voice sounded from inside. “What is it?”
Something was obviously wrong. She hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong with you? Are you sick?”
“I’m fine,” he replied. Sylvia immediately pressed the door handle.
Fortunately, the door was unlocked, so she opened it and walked in.
Only the wall lamp was on in the room. Under the dim light, the man’s slender figure lay on his side on
the bed. When Sylvia came in, he propped himself up with his arms.
His face was pale, and all the blood seemed to have left his lips.

He obviously had a fever.
“Wait here. I’ll go get some medicine for you.” She was just about to turn around and go out.
However, she found that her wrist had been grabbed by him.
She turned back to look at him.
Thomas looked at her with a somewhat disorientated gaze and said hoarsely, “I’m fine. You can go
back and rest. Don’t worry about me.”
Sylvia suddenly felt a little annoyed.
He had fallen ill because he had saved Isabel. How could she not care about him? Yet he had even
told her to go and rest? He really did not care about himself!
Sylvia insisted, “I’m not sleepy now.”
Then, she shook his hand off and quickly walked out.
There were medicines for treating colds and fevers in the medicine box.
Sylvia took the pills, got the thermometer , and poured a glass of water before going back to Thomas’
room.
He was already sitting up and leaning weakly against the bed
She took his temperature first.
Fortunately, it was not that high. “Hold out your hand,” she said.
