Chapter 313 Mommy, I Want a Daddy

"Hasn't Lucy's fever gone down yet?"

"Yeah, it has, but she's still coughing."

Sam sighed. "I wish I could take on Lucy's illness for her."

His words melted Penelope's heart.

"Don't say that," she replied, "You need to stay healthy too!"

"Alright! I'll stay fit and protect you both!"

"Deal!"

They high-fived with a smile.

After chatting with Sam, Penelope headed to Lucy's room.

Sam trailed behind her.

"Ruby, is Lucy feeling any better?"

"She took her medicine, but she's still coughing now and then," Ruby said, worried. "Lucy's always been frail."

Penelope frowned. "If she's not better by tomorrow, I'll take her to the hospital." "Okay. But you look exhausted."

Penelope shook her head. "As long as Lucy gets better, it's worth it. You've been working hard too, Ruby."

Ruby sighed. "I'm just so worried about her fever."

It was common for Lucy to get sick,, but as she got older, her illnesses became more severe.

What used to be minor ailments that cleared up in a few days now took at least a week for Lucy to recover from.

"Take care of yourself," Ruby said, "You can't afford to get sick."

"I'm fine."

Sam stood quietly nearby.

Ruby stayed with Lucy until she fell asleep. Though Penelope was exhausted, she didn't forget to check on Sam.

She loved both kids equally and never showed favoritism.
