Tears welled up in Mia's eyes again. The telltale sign of her cry was a sniffle. And just like that, Andre knew she was on the verge of another tearful episode. He lifted his gaze to his wife's reddened eyes. "Hold it back, no crying."

Mia pouted, feeling wronged that she wasn't even allowed to cry.

Andre, unable to bear her distress, tenderly massaged her foot. "Does it hurt to walk?" He asked.

Mia nodded.

Standing up, Andre asked, "Where else does it hurt?"

Mia began to spill out her complaints. "My stomach hurts. My gums are bleeding, and I've been having nightmares that scare me." The most annoying thing was, "I can't cover myself with the blanket if I prop up my legs. But without propping up my legs, it's uncomfortable to lie with the blanket. The pillow is too low for me to prop up my legs comfortably." As Mia rambled on, she somehow made it seem like all her issues were justified.

Andre, who usually could keep a cool facade, couldn't help but chuckle at his wife's words. When they shared a bed at the Cedillo family home, he had served as a leg rest for his petite wife. She had become so accustomed to this arrangement that she found it hard to adapt without it. It did sound rather pitiful.

"Not even a day apart and you've developed all these ailments?"

Mia lowered her head, looking dejected. "Hmm, do you think I'm being too dramatic?"

Andre knew he could no longer intimidate her. So, he gently pinched her nose in an affectionate manner. "A little bit." He paused for a moment before adding, "But I happen to like it."

Mia looked up abruptly. Her eyes met her husband's. His eyes were filled with amusement and affection. Overcome with emotion, Mia threw herself into Andre's arms.

After waiting for nearly fifteen minutes downstairs, Madison saw the couple emerge from their bedroom. It seemed they had a good talk.

Upon reaching downstairs, Andre said to Madison, "Mia isn't feeling too well. I'm taking her to the hospital for a check-up."
