Dale and Astrid went to pick up Roman. Noticing Astrid’s cough, Dale said, “Astrid, go home and take This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
some medicine. You might have a cold tonight” Astrid replied, “I’ll take some medicine when I get
home. It’s gotten colder tonight and I didn’t dress warmly enough. Plus, standing in the cold wind for so
long, I’m feeling a bit under the weather.”
Dale: “How about I stay and take care of you?”
Astrid said: “No need, it’s just a few coughs. I’m fine.” After saying that, she sneezed several times in a
row.
Seeing this, Roman was very worried, “Mom, let’s go to the doctor.”
Astrid comforted him, “Don’t worry, Roman. But I should take you home first, I don’t want to get you
sick.” After saying that, she ruffled Roman’s hair, but Roman shook his head.
Roman hugged Astrid, “Mom, I’m sick too, let’s be sick in bed together”
Astrid was speechless.
Dale laughed, “You two are really peas in a pod.”
After dropping them off, Dale watched Astrid take some cold medicine and then left the apartment.
Once he was out of the building, he immediately contacted his staff to postpone Astrid’s work for the
next day, giving her ample time to rest.
Late at night, Astrid felt a throbbing pain from her C–section scar
Painkillers could alleviate the pain, but it would take many years to fully recover,
In the middle of the night, Astrid started to run a fever.
Roman felt as if there was a furnace beside him.
He touched Astrid’s arm and found that her body was very hot. He was frightened and whispered,
“Mom, are you okay?”
Astrid replied: “I’m okay. After saying that, she turned on the bedside lamp, I go take some medicine,
you go back to sleep”
There was fever medicine at home, so she got up to take it
Because she was so sleepy, she was a bit wobbly on her feet. She bumped into the door!
When Roman saw this, he immediately called Elio.
Elio quickly answered the phone, “What’s up, Roman?”
Roman: “Elio, my mom is sick and she can’t even walk steadily!
After hanging up, Roman walked into the living room and found Astrid in the bathroom.
After taking the medicine, Astrid went back to bed to sleep and told Roman, “Roman, keep your
distance from me. I’m afraid I might infect you.” “Okay, Mom, you rest. Roman remembered how his
grandma used to wipe his forehead with a wet towel when he had a fever. So, he got up from the bed,
grabbed a stool, and fetched some water, intending to do the same for Astrid,
The little guy couldn’t wring out the water, but he tried his best.
After a while, Elio walked into the room, bringing a breath of cold air with him.

He had been working late at the office today. As soon as he got Roman’s call, be rushed over right
away. Thankfully, there was no traffic at night, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to get there so
quickly.
