Chapter 1011: Morning Sickness

Jared froze for a moment. "What's wrong with Master?"

Tina picked up a spoon and tasted the porridge. It was soft, sweet, and distinctly Uncle's handiwork.

She pressed her lips together and said, "Master doesn't like medicinal ingredients, no matter how they are prepared."

Jared paused, then gave a bitter smile. "That was my oversight."

Tina glanced up at him, her eyes clear and knowing. This wasn't Uncle's fault at all. "Grandpa still hasn't calmed down?"

Jared sighed helplessly. "It seems he has... for now."

Tina chuckled softly and continued eating her sweet porridge.

That night, the two stayed at the Brookes family estate.

The next morning.

As Tina woke, a rustling sound reached her ears. She thought it was Uncle moving around nearby.

Just as she was about to open her eyes, a soft little finger poked her cheek, followed by a deliberately hushed, childish voice.

"Tina, why are you still sleeping? It's already light outside!"

Tina froze.

Kiki and Mimi?

"Mimi, don't touch!"

Kiki warned in a whisper, "Jared said Tina needs more rest to get better. If you wake her up and it makes her sick again, what will we do?"

Mimi pouted in protest but pulled her hand back, biting her lip. "But I want to play with Tina. She hasn't been here for so long."

"That doesn't matter," Kiki said firmly. "Tina's health is the most important. Do you want to see Tina get sick?"

Mimi's face crumpled, and tears began welling up in her eyes.

Tina couldn't bear it anymore. She turned her head and pretended to wake up, her voice gentle. "Kiki, Mimi, I'm awake now."

Mimi's tears spilled over as she sobbed, "Tina, I didn't mean to wake you! I don't want you to be sick. Being sick is so awful."
