Loving Mom 188

Chapter 188

Matty noticed Theo’s hollowed, dazed expression-and the smile tugging at the corners of his lips only deepened.

With the pride of someone presenting a prized collection, he began telling the other kids all about Sharon.

“Sharon doesn’t just cook delicious food. She even knows how to make medicinal meals. Do you guys know what that is? My stomach’s always been weak, and my hands and feet are cold all the time. I’m super afraid of the cold. So Sharon makes me medicinal food every day to help me get better.

“She’s amazing, like she can do anything. She knows exactly what kinds of food are bad for the body and which ones help you get stronger.”

“Whoa! Sharon is amazing. She can even do that? Is she, like, a superhero or something?”
