Chapter 102 - Reggie Got Fever

Ch-101

"So, that is what happened!?" Ben said as he laughed. 

He almost rolled on the floor as he laughed. Few tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes as he laughed hard. 

"Reggie! Your daddy has a low EQ in this area!" Ben laughed as he wiped his tears. 

Reggie and Ben laughed at the king as they ignored the presence of Cyrus. At that second Cyrus decided to interrupt his date with his mom. 

After dinner, Ben left to his room while maids cleared the dishes on the table. Cyrus followed Reggie to his room. 

"Do you want mom to stay with you tomorrow?" Cyrus asked. 

"YES!" Reggie said. 

"How?" Reggie asked as he looked at his father with his cuteness but his cuteness was overpowered by the obviousness of the bandages on his face making Cyrus almost laugh out loud. 

"After you finish playing with her tomorrow! Sleep in her arms and mumble once in a while 'Mom! Don't leave! Reggie is scared!' okay?" Cyrus said as he gave a cunning idea. 

"Isn't it cheating?" Reggie asked as he stroked his bandage but only to twitch in pain. 

"Fine! Don't sleep with mom then! Good night!"  Cyrus said and was about to leave.

"Fine! I will do that! But….." Reggie yelled as soon he saw Cyrus was about to leave. 

"But?" Cyrus asked. 

"But how does that make her stay with me?" Reggie asked. 

"Even if she doesn't stay here, you will stay with her! As for the remaining, I will take care!" Cyrus said. 

"Okay!" With that Reggie jumped on him and hugged Cyrus tightly. 

"You Brat! You will hug and kiss dad only when you get advantages from me!" Cyrus faked his anger at him!

"Yawn~~~ Dad! It's late! Good night!" Reggie said as he quickly jumped onto the bed on his stomach forgetting the hurts he got in the evening. 

"Ahhh! Dad! It hurts! Hurts!" Reggie started crying the moment his face hit the pillow hard. 

Cyrus wanted to leave after turning the lights but the moment he heard his son's shriek he held his head. 

"You brat! Can't you be a little careful? If you get hurt frequently your mother will think you are a fragile doll and would leave you! Next time don't get hurt!" Cyrus said. 

"But dad, it hurts!" Reggie cried.

"God! Sit there! Don't move! I will be back! Just a min!" Cyrus said and ran away. He got the first aid box and removed the bandages on his face. He cleaned the wounds and applied the ointment and bandaged them again. 

"Tomorrow, when you take a bath, call me! I will help you!" Cyrus said. 

"I am a big boy!" Reggie protested. Cyrus pinched his nose lightly making his face twitch in pain. 

"I am a big boy who always gets hurt and doesn't even know how to take care of himself. I wish you were a girl. It would have been easy to me!" Cyrus said railing him up. 

"Dad…." Reggie cried pitifully. 

"I will sleep with you tonight! And look over after you before you get hurt again!" Cyrus said. 

Cyrus went to his room and took a bath and changed his clothes before returning to Reggie's room. He slept with the little devil whose face was plastered with three stickers making him look like a real baby.

Next-Day…

Cyrus woke up and saw Reggie was still sleeping. He smiled at seeing the little kid's sleeping face. He ruffled his hair lovingly only to find his forehead was burning hot. 

He called the Butler and asked him to get the first aid kit. Cyrus went inside the bathroom and filled a tub full of water. He removed the clothes of Reggie and wiped his body with the cold towel. 

"Mommy~~~~" Reggie mumbled in his sleep.

Cyrus took the temperature and saw it was thirty-nine degrees. 

"Ben! Call the doctor!" he shouted, making Ben shiver in pain. 

Ben called the doctor and informed Reggie's situation.

"Brother! The doctor will be here in half an hour!" he informed Cyrus. 

"Call, Miss. Benjamin!" Cyrus said as he continued to wipe Reggie's body. 

He placed the damp towel on his forehead as he waited for Esther and the doctor's arrival. 

----------------

On the other side...

Esther woke up and freshened up early. She wore black jeans with a white T-shirt. She wanted to wear the matching clothes of a family and go out to play with Reggie for a long time. But Arthur never cared about these things. So those clothes were left just like that. Seeing Reggie losing the weight she was sure that the clothes would fit him. 

She was about to head to the dining hall when her phone rang from Vritra's mansion. 

"Hello!" Esther replied. 

"Miss. Benjamin! Please come to the mansion. Reggie is down with fever and wants to see you! If possible please come!" Ben said exaggeratedly. 

Esther dashed away without even informing anyone and left without having breakfast. Esther doesn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional but Cyrus and Esther live near. It's only a fifteen minutes journey from their palace to their mansion. She took her car out and sped up to the Vritra mansion. She reached there in ten minutes as there is no traffic, her journey has no interruptions. When she reached, Esther saw Cyrus wiping Reggie's body with a damp towel and taking his temperature. She knows more about Reggie and she took care of him many times. 

Esther came and saw Cyrus was doing the right way. He removed the clothes and wiped his body from time to time and kept a close eye on the kid. She stood dazedly at the door as she watched Reggie being cared for by Cyrus. 

"Ben! Handle company matters in my place! I will not go to the company for the next two days. You will work in my place for three days! If anybody asks what happened? Say I am sick due to the change of environment! Okay?" Cyrus said. 

"Okay! Brother! I will take my leave!" With that Ben turned around. 

"Miss. Benjamin! Good morning!" Ben greeted before leaving. 

"Morning!" Esther said entered the room. 

"What's his current temperature?" Esther asked. 

"38.9 degrees. Before it was 40 degrees it was down by 0.1 degrees!" Cyrus said seriously. 

"Butler!" Cyrus called out. 

"Where is the doctor? Why hasn't he arrived?" Cyrus asked angrily. 

"He will be there in five minutes!" Butler informed. 

Soon the doctor came and checked Reggie. The doctor was the same one who treated Reggie in Healthy People hospital. He checked Reggie and frowned. 

"Sir, Please come outside!" the doctor asked. Cyrus knew something was up and followed him. Esther made Butler stay with Reggie and went to listen to the doctor's report. 

"CEO Vritra, did the kid cry a lot? Or something that triggered him? Or did he not take the meds on time?" Doctor asked. 

"He was sad last night. He cried indeed. He took the meds very late at night. And you saw his face, he has hurt again," Cyrus said. 

"CEO Vritra, Please no matter what, don't do the things that could trigger the kid. It is maybe fatal. The kid will take at least another five months to recover completely. Till then, be careful. Do everything he asks!" The doctor said. 

"Is he fine now?" Esther asked. 

"No! I will prescribe some meds! Feed them to him after meals three times."  Doctor said. 

Cyrus nodded his head. He gave the prescription to the butler and asked him to get the meds. 

Cyrus and Esther went inside only to see Reggie mumbling something. 

"Mom! Mom! Don't leave Reggie!" Reggie mumbled. 

Esther went to him and hugged him tight as she mumbled in his ear. 

"Mom is here! Mom is here for Reggie! Mom is here!" Esther tried to soothe him. Reggie who felt the familiar touch and scent he snuggled closer to her. But she felt something was wrong. 

She looked down and found that his little dragon was out on the show! 

"Cyrus! You should have left at least a boxer on him! He is completely naked!" Esther said through her gritted teeth. 

"He is my son! What's there to hide from me! And I have seen him a lot of times! And why are you shouting like that! He is your son too! Didn't you see him like that anytime?" Cyrus asked. He doesn't understand why she was doing that. 

Esther: "..." 

This guy doesn't know how to treat his child. 

"Cover his lower body!" Esther said as she clenched her jaw. 

Cyrus shook his head and found shorts for Reggie. Esther helped Reggie in wearing the shorts. After a few minutes, Butler returned with meds. Esther woke Reggie and made him gurgle his mouth. She made him eat fruit before feeding him the meds. After eating the meds, Reggie fell into a deep sleep. His body started sweating a lot. Esther stayed with Reggie till night. By the time night fell, Reggie sweated a lot making her breathe a sigh of relief. Reggie woke up at 9. P. M. 

When he saw his mother sleeping beside him, he smiled. He saw his dad was sitting beside him as hugged Esther and Reggie. Reggie was so happy that he also got to experience the things that others were experiencing. He snuggled closer to the both of them as he tried to sleep but he already slept a lot and couldn't sleep. 

"Don't wake her!" he heard his father's voice.
