Molly was whining about a headache right after lunch. Chad suggested she take a nap, but she refused.

Finally, she revealed her little ploy, "Hey, bro, could you massage my temples?"

Chad just stared at her, speechless.

Not waiting for a reply, she flopped down on his lap, grinning up at him. "Thanks, big brother."

Chad indulged her, "Close your eyes."

Molly quickly shut her eyes, and soon felt his gentle touch on her temples.

In less than three minutes, her even breathing signaled she was fast asleep.

Chad stopped massaging, chuckling at the sight of his sister dozing off on his lap. Then, with a gentle touch, he lifted her in a princess carry and took her back to her room.

Coleen commented, "Good thing you're her brother, always fit from all that training. You can carry her around like a feather. Anyone else would struggle."

Chad carried Molly upstairs, tucked her into bed, and stole a few more glances at her before leaving.

Suddenly, the commotion from downstairs caught his attention. Recognizing the voices, he frowned. What were they doing here?

After making sure Molly was comfortable, he left the room. Seeing the four members of Juliana's family downstairs, his eyes filled with annoyance.

"Coleen, you're out of the hospital?" Juliana exclaimed with joy upon seeing her.

Chad descended the stairs and asked the housekeeper, "Who let them in?"
