Natalie was ready to call for the doctor if Sharon was still unwell.

“No, I don't feel sick anymore. I'm okay now, Mommy.” Sharon shook her head and spoke, patting herself on the chest to emphasize the point.

Natalie carefully looked at her, trying to detect any visible signs of discomfort.

“Great! Glad you are well! You gave me a scare,” she said, relieved to see her daughter looking bright and alert.

Sharon felt bad for causing her mother to worry, so she sheepishly apologized, “I'm sorry, Mommy.”

Natalie touched her daughter's forehead to confirm she was not feeling feverish. When she was finally convinced that nothing was wrong with her girl, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It's okay. Why did you not tell me over the phone that you were not feeling well?”

The sensible little girl replied, “You were working, so you must be very tired. I don't want you to worry about me. I have Daddy with me, so I am fine. Daddy was so worried when I fell sick. He stayed up the whole night and never left my side! Isn't that right, Daddy?”
