Unable to find Alice in the front room, Abigail hurried to the backyard where she spotted Ronaldo holding Larry, who was fast asleep. Abigail approached them and gently touched Larry's cheek, relieved to find that he was no longer feverish.

Squatting down beside Larry, Abigail playfully pinched his face, causing him to open his eyes in a daze and look at her with confusion.

"Larry, are you still feeling unwell?" Abigail asked, playing with his clenched fist.

Larry gazed at her with his bright eyes.

"He's so adorable," Abigail remarked, yawning.

As Larry watched Abigail open her mouth, his eyes widened with curiosity. Amused by his reaction, Abigail yawned again, prompting Larry to mimic her by opening his mouth. His expression was even more peculiar.

"You can make expressions too," Abigail recalled how he was just a pink, wrinkled baby when she first handed him over to Ronaldo.

In just a month, he had become fair.

Ronaldo woke up and saw Abigail squatting beside him, playing with Larry. He took a deep breath and said, "Can you hold him for a while? My hands are sore."

Abigail took over and replied, "Where's Alice?"

"She said she was preparing a prescription for Larry. She told me to tell you that Larry will take a long time to fully recover. If you're busy, you can go back to Capitalis first. We will take care of him," Ronaldo said, yawning.
