Chapter 512
Sebastian smiled and hugged him. "Don''t worry, you didn''t cause any trouble for us. Actually, we were
nning to go back and rest for a while. I need to handle some business at mypany, and once I''m
done, we can go to a new ce for a vacation."
"Is that so?" Joel looked at him pitifully. He asked, "Did I really not cause any trouble for everyone?"
"No, you really didn''t." Sebastian smiled and kissed him on the forehead. "You''re too nice, Buddy. If we
follow your logic, should we be med for not taking good care of you and letting you get sick?"
"No!" Joel shook his head vigorously. "It''s because of my weak constitution. It has nothing to do with
you and Mommy. Quincy didn''t get sick."
He looked at Quincy.
Quincy said, "I''m the elder brother, so it''s my responsibility to take care of my little brother. It''s only
natural that I didn''t get sick."
"You''re both too nice!" Sebastian ruffled their hair. "Alright, let''s get ready. We''re going home!"
They came here on a private ne, so they could go back whenever they wanted without needing to
book tickets or anything.
Madeline found Amy and exined the unexpected situation to her, informing her that they would soon
be returning to Dusktown.
Amy had no objections.
She asked with concern, "Are the kids okay?"
Although she had only met them a few times and hadn''t spent much time with them, she really liked
those two adorable and well-behaved children.
Madeline said, "Joel''s fever has gone down, but his tonsils are still a bit swollen. That''s why I want to
take them back home and let him recuperate."
Amy nodded. "That''s the right thing to do."
It was fun to go sightseeing, but it was more convenient to rest at home when one was sick, since it
would ensure speedy recovery.
After getting ready, the family boarded the ne and returned to Dusktown.

On their way back, Joel snuggled in Sebastian''s arms and fell asleep. He slept all the way.
The usually chatty little boy suddenly became quiet, which Sebastian was particrly unused to. He
would asionally lower his head to check on him, touch his forehead, and see if he had a fever again.
Madeline could tell that Sebastian really cared about the two children. She felt the same way—she
wished she could get sick instead of the children.
In the past, when the kids got sick, she was the only one busy taking care of them, feeling both
heartbroken and anxious.
Now, she had someone by her side who shared the same feelings. In her heart, she felt much more at
ease. She was no longer fighting alone; if they encountered any unexpected situations, she had
someone to consult with. And that person, who loved the children as much as she did, would
undoubtedly make the best choices for them.
It feels so great to have arade-in-arms by my side!
The more she thought about this, the more secure and warm she felt. She couldn''t help but lean
against Sebastian''s shoulder. Now, she had someone to rely on.
When she was tired, she could indulge herself and lean on his shoulder. It was really nice.
"Tired?" Sebastian turned his head to look at her. "If you''re tired, go lie down in the back. I''ll take care
of the children myself."
"It''s okay, I''m not tired," Madeline smiled and shook her head. "I just suddenly feel… that it''s really good
to have you help me."
"It''s not that it''s good now, but it was really bad before," Sebastian said. "We met each other toote. If
we had met a little earlier, I wouldn''t have let you struggle alone with the kids. It''s been hard on you."
"No, it''s not…" Madeline smiled and shook her head.
Many men who weren''t as good as Sebastian would think it was a woman''s duty to have children and
take care of them, but Sebastian never thought that way.
In today''s society, many women would go out to work during the day ande back to take care of the
children and do housework at night while men only had to go out and earn money. When they came
home, they justy on the couch, ate, yed on their phones, and slept. They didn''t do anything else.
They said men and women were equal, but in reality, there was still inequality between many men and
women nowadays. It was considered natural for men not to do housework while women who didn''t do
housework were seen aszy.
Although there were nows that dictated this, it had be a social convention that women should
do housework and take care of children.
However, when Madeline was with Sebastian, he spent more time taking care of the children. As long
as he was there, he would always be around the two children. He could think of everything the children
needed, and she could just stand by and watch him take care of them.
Sebastian was incredibly wealthy, but he never thought that doing housework and taking care of
children was a woman''s duty. He took care of her, cherished her, and wished that she didn''t have to do
anything except what she liked.
Now, she had someone by her side who shared the same feelings. In her heart, she felt much more at
ease. She was no longer fighting alone; if they encountered any unexpected situations, she had
someone to consult with. And that person, who loved the children as much as she did, would
undoubtedly make the best choices for them.
Sometimes she would think that refinement and upbringing should be all-epassing. Those with
power and influence wouldn''t look down on others; only some of the nouveau riche would.
Truly noble families had refinement and good upbringing ingrained in their bones. Even if they were
rich and powerful, they would never look down on ordinary people. In their families, they would also
show consideration for their significant others, taking on more familial responsibilities themselves.
At the thought of this, she felt that she might have really saved the world in her previous life, which
allowed her to meet someone as good as Sebastian in this life.
After returning home, they showered, changed clothes, and apanied the two children as theyy
down in bed to let them rest well. After all, the two kids were still very young, and they were drained of
energy from having fun out there. After they returned home, they both slept like a log.
In the middle of it, Joel had another fever. Sebastian and Madeline gave him medicine and used
physical methods of cooling. After a few long hours, Joel''s fever subsided again.
They slept all afternoon, ate a little in the evening, took a half-hour walk, and then went back to sleep.
They slept through the whole night, and the next morning, the two children were finally back to life.
After examining Joel, the family doctor said that the swelling in his tonsils had already gone down. As
long as he continued taking his medicine on time, he would recover soon. He shouldn''t have a fever
again tonight.
Sebastian and Madeline breathed a sigh of relief.
A child having a fever is the most distressing thing, especially when Joel''s fever reached 102 degrees
Fahrenheit and was close to 104 degrees, which was nerve-wracking. They were afraid that he would
have convulsions or brain damage from the fever.
Fortunately, he was finally getting better.
"Daddy, Mommy, my throat doesn''t hurt anymore," Joel said happily. "I feel energetic now. Yesterday,
my eyelids were heavy, and I always wanted to sleep, but today I''m not sleepy anymore!"
"Good boy!" Sebastian kissed him. "My son is amazing. He recovered so quickly!"
He looked proud, as if Joel had done something extraordinary.
Madeline was speechless. Sebastian must be seeing his son through rose-colored sses!
