"Mom, I'm back. How's Maggie? Is her fever gone?"
"Maggie is asleep now. You haven't eaten yet, right? I've made some food. Come and eat. Let Maggie sleep a little longer. Then go to see her and wake her up. She has told me to wake her up when you come back." Vera, who was still in the kitchen, answered immediately when she heard the voice of Joey.
"Okay. I'll go to see her after dinner. I'm relieved to know that she's fine." As he spoke, Joey walked to the dining room.
"Well, in fact, she is ill because she misses you too much. Lois hasn't called her for a long time, so she really needs the care from her parents. That's what your father and I can't do. After all, Grandpa and grandma can't be regarded as Dad and mom." Vera sighed.

After that, Joey brought the medicine over, picked up the spoon and began to feed the medicine to Maggie. "I don't know if this medicine is bitter or not. Let me have a taste first."
Then he took a spoon and tasted it himself. "It's okay. It's not bitter. Maggie, don't be afraid."
"Okay." There was a big smile on Maggie's pale face, which was particularly beautiful.
