The children fell asleep as soon as we got home. They were so shocked and tired that they fell asleep in an instant. I laid the children on the bed and carefully covered them with blankets.

Maybe it was because I stayed outside for too long.
“Achoo!”
I caught a cold.
It was a bad cold.
“Sister, are you okay?”
“Sister, are you okay?”
The children clung to me with worried faces.
I shook my head with a semi-emotional look.
“I’m not okay…” I muttered in a suppressed voice.
My pride is hurt.
It was a cold that Zion, who was weaker than me, had never caught before. I caught a cold that the children didn’t even have.
I’m a Northern wolf, but I got a cold!
I sniffled and blamed the unknown god.
But my resentment was brief.
My body was shivering and my head was pounding. I couldn’t think properly. I felt like I had a runny nose. I raised my hand and wiped my nose.
“Are you all right?” Noelier asked with worry.
I slowly blinked and shook my head.
“I’m not.”
“The fever is too high.”
“It’s cold…..”
“Isn’t it hot?”
He widened his eyes as if puzzled.
I smiled faintly and slowly opened my mouth.
“Cold, I caught a cold…”

“Eve.”
A pleasant voice woke me up.
It was familiar.
“Eve, wake up.”
I slowly opened my eyes.
Beyond the blurry vision, Noelier’s face was visible.
“Hng….”
I groaned and shook my head. It disturbed my sleep, so I was just annoyed.
“It’s done. Take this and go back to sleep. That way you’ll get better quickly,” Noelier whispered softly as if he was dealing with a child.
“I don’t like it now…”

Blink.
I opened my eyes again. I could hear the sound of burning firewood quietly. Judging by the quiet surroundings, Noelier and the children didn't seem to be back yet.
After repeatedly waking up from my sleep, I felt dizzier.
I fumbled and reached for the side table.
A small cup was held in my hand.
It seemed to be the herbal concoction the three made together.
‘Yes, I’ll take it and get well soon.’
I drank the concoction without hesitation.
I could taste the bitterness in my swollen throat.
Ugh.
I almost got goosebumps.
‘Was this supposedly like this?’
When I took it before, it didn’t seem like it tasted like this—I wanted to throw it away, but I couldn’t.
I need to get better.
