Chapter 1000


    Charlie strode in, only realizing after he was inside that he might have been a bit presumptuous “is


    Kya’s mom home?” he asked.


    Ms. Simmons immediately replied. “No, she’s out taking care of a sick person


    Charlie’s face darkened, “She leaves her own sick daughter


    name of someone else?”


    Ms. Simmons quickly defended. “It’s not like that, really had no choice


    But Charlie didn’t stick around to hear the rest. He stepped into the living room, finding Kya lying on the


    couch crying. She had a fever and appeared weak, which really tugged at his heartstrings.


    “Kyal”


    Charlie put down the fruit he brought lifted Kya into his arms, Tm here, where do you feel unwell?”


    Kya leaned on him with a wronged expression, tear stains still visible on her face


    Chaletouched her forehead, it was burning hot


    He couldn’t help but feel anxious, “Has she been having a fever the whole time?”


    “No”Ms. Simmons exined. “Kya’s mom said Kya had a feverst night, but it subsided after


    medication. She was fine this moming, but the fever kicked in again after lunch


    Annoyed. Charlie said. “We need to take her to the hospital


    Ms. Simmons quickly replied. “Kids in the neighborhood had this before, and it was the same recurring


    fevers. The hospital couldn’t do much, as long as we give her antipyretics on time, it’s fine.”


    Charlie frowned, made a call


    Listening to his conversation, it seemed the doctor’s advice was simr to what Ms. Simmons said. The


    viral infection had to run its course, fever wouldst for a few days, and things should clear up after


    another three days of observation.


    After hanging up, Charlie asked Ms. Simmons, “Did you give kya her fever medication?”


    “did” Ms. Simmons quickly responded.


    Charlie nodded, cuddling Kya he cooed, “The medicine will kick in soon, don’t cry anymore”


    Clinging tightly to him, Kya stopped crying.


    Charlie couldn’t resist kissing her forehead, his voice soft. “Sleep now, you’ll feel better when you wake


    up


    “Don’t leave Kya’s small hand gripped his shirt.


    Charlie felt a pang in his heart. “I won’t leave. I’ll stay with you.”

    Kya closed her eyes in relief.


    Ms. Simmons chuckled. “Why is Kya so attached to you?”


    Charlie smiled. “Maybe we just have a special bond.”


    “You’re perhaps right! M. Simmons agreed.


    Holding Kya, Charlie paced slowly until she fell asleep.


    Tiltako Kya to her room, Ms. Simmons offered


    Looking at the sleeping Kya, Charlie didn’t want to put her down, he found afortable position for


    her to lie in, I hold her so she won’t be startled awake.” “But…” Ms. Simmons hesitated, “It’s tiring to


    hold a child while sleeping, I can do it.”


    “It’s fine, you can go do your thing”


    Charlie’s tone was light but firm, leaving Ms. Simmons no choice but to retreat to the bedroom to fetch


    a nket.


    Charlie sat on the couch with Kya sleeping in his arms. He carefully covered Kya with the nket Ms.


    Simmons brought


    Ms. Simmons watched his gentle movements and asked, “Sir, are you mamed?”


    Charlie looked up. “Not yet.”
