Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1284

"What's wrong, Yvette?"

Lauren felt rather baffled as she cradled Yvette in her arms. She had intentionally worked on her morning routines since she was a baby, but Yvette had never been this difficult, even though she'd wake up a little grumpy on some mornings.

"Are you unwell?"

Lauren wiped her snot and felt her forehead.

"Could she have caught a cold from having too much fun last night?" Willy couldn't help feeling anxious, seeing how weak Yvette looked. "I'll get the thermometer!"

Lauren, on the other hand, patted Yvette to comfort her. "Yvette, tell Mommy, do you feel pain anywhere?"

Yvette kept her eyes shut tight, instinctively nuzzling closer to her, still fussing, "Sleepy, no school, Mommy! I want to sleep, no school..."

Seeing that she clearly wasn't feeling herself, Lauren continued to comfort her.

"Okay, okay, we won't go today. I'll ask for sick leave for you, but you have to be honest with me. Does your throat hurt? How about your nose?"

Worried that Yvette couldn't express herself clearly, Lauren checked with her from place to place. But she was visibly sluggish that day, barely wanting to talk, only nuzzling deeper into her arms and blanket apart from shaking her head.

Willy took her temperature and suggested, "It's a little high. We should take her to the hospital!"

But just as he bent over, wanting to pick her up, Yvette suddenly burst into tears. "Wah... No hospital. I don't want to go to the hospital! No needle, Mommy. I'll go to school..."

Willy stumped that instant while Lauren quickly comforted her.

"Okay, okay, we won't go to the hospital! Daddy's only messing with you! We won't go anywhere, no hospital, no school. We'll just stay at home. I'll stay here with you. Don't be afraid, okay, baby girl?"

Lauren felt her forehead and comforted Yvette for a while before turning to Willy.

"She got scared when she was little, so she's a little resistant to it. Don't worry! She's got a strong immune system. Let's put an antipyretic patch on her and see how she does..."

After explaining, Lauren comforted Yvette a little more before putting her back on the bed.

They spent quite a good chunk of the morning taking care of Yvette. Seeing Willy's phone kept flashing, and he left to answer it quite a few times, Lauren got up and checked the time after feeding Yvette some water.

"Why don't you go and settle your business first!"

"It's all my fault! I shouldn't have let her get so crazy last night!"

Lauren couldn't help smiling slightly, seeing him blaming himself. Their little one had really scared him, hadn't she?

"Children have a poorer immune system; it's normal for them to catch a cold or get a fever. Don't worry; I'll be here to take care of her." She smoothed the creases on his shirt and nodded.

"Have some breakfast before you go!"

With that, Willy pulled her into his arms and gave her a deep kiss. "Thanks! I'll go and meet a client and come back as soon as I can! Call me if anything!"

As he spoke, he looked worriedly over at Yvette.

Right then, truly nothing in the world was more important than his two ladies. Seeing that his daughter was sound asleep, he thought it was a good time to settle his work!
