Caden stood off to the side, his posture stiff with unease as if he were a child caught in the act of wrongdoing.

Zev, burning with fever, lay motionless in bed, not uttering a single word.

A subtle tension hung between them.

Kelly prepared a bowl of oatmeal for Zev. When she stepped into the room and noticed their gloomy expressions, she lowered her voice and asked, "Did you two get into an argument?"

Without much strength, Zev retrieved a thermometer and muttered, "With a fever of 103.1°F, do you really think I have the energy to fight with him?"

Kelly placed a gentle hand on Zev's forehead, worry evident in her eyes. "Eat something first, okay? Taking fever medicine on an empty stomach won't feel good."

But Zev had no appetite-he just wanted to sleep.

Seeing no other choice, Kelly tried to persuade him again. "If you don't eat before taking medicine, your stomach will feel even worse."

"It's miserable..." Zev muttered, rolling over and wrapping himself tightly in the blanket, stubbornly refusing to eat.

Kelly gently patted his back, trying to comfort him.

Zev let out a low grunt but still wouldn't budge.

Fevers always brought unbearable discomfort-body aches, sore muscles, and even deep, throbbing pain in the bones.

What worried Kelly the most was Zev running a fever. His past injuries-damage to his bones, muscles, and deep fascia-made everything worse. The buildup of lactic acid during a fever amplified his pain, making it far more excruciating than usual.

Since Zev still refused to eat, Kelly lowered her voice and issued a quiet threat. "Fine, then. I'll cancel the family doctor's visit and take you straight to the hospital. We'll get you admitted, and I'll have the nurse give you a full examination."

For Zev, getting admitted to the hospital was already a nightmare-but enduring a nurse's examination was an even worse ordeal.
