Charles sighed almost inaudibly. He loosened his grip and said, "Give the medicine to Edward and get him to drink more water. You... Just stay with him for a while."
After saying that, Charles turned around and left.
Nancy stood in the corridor, motionless for three minutes. Did that really happen or it was just an auditory hallucination? Did Charles really give her permission to accompany Edward?
Nancy looked at the medicine in her hand and made sure that she heard it right. Then she turned around and walked into Edward's room.
Edward's lips were a little pale and dry. Nancy felt guilty that she forgot to give Edward some water. "Edward, wake up. You need to take your medicine."
Nancy gently shook Edward's arm. He slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Nancy, why are you in my room?"
Edward was asking knowingly. In fact, he knew that Nancy had been there all night. He just wanted to avoid embarrassment.
Besides, if Charles asked him later, he could also pretend to be oblivious.
"You have a fever. Charles got you the medicine." Nancy fetched some wate
ite. He didn't expect that she still remembered it.
Back when they were abroad, it was always him who cooked for her. Never did he expect that one day, she would be the one cooking for him.
"Not very authentic, but Edward, why don't you give it a try?" Nancy smiled sheepishly.
"It must be better than my pasta!" Edward sat down with appreciation.
He would have wanted to say was that no matter what kind of pasta she cooked, he would surely love it.
"Kids, let's have breakfast." Trying to conceal her blush, Nancy called on the children.
"Mommy, uncle Edward and Bobby are already downstairs. Why didn't they call me? Did they sneak out to catch the bad guys? Why didn't they take me with them?" Nadia went downstairs as she asked with grievance.
"Nadia, we're waiting for you. You slept soundly so we didn't have the heart to wake you up!" Edward scrambled for an explanation.
"Really? Bobby?" Nadia asked suspiciously.
The first thing Bobby always did when he woke up in the morning was to wake her up, but today he didn't!
It made Nadia a little upset.
