The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 512 Symeon’s Phone Call

The following morning, Symeon heard Dulcie whimpering in her bed. He thought it might be another one of her nightmares and reluctantly got up to comfort her. However, when he reached her bedside, he was startled to see the child’s cheeks were rosy. Instinctively, he touched her forehead and realized she had a fever. Panic washed over him, and he shouted. angrily, “Anyone! The child has a fever!”

The nanny hurried to the room and asked, “Mr. Lawrence, what happened? How did she get a fever?”

He was furious and scolded her, “How dare you ask! You slept like a log and weren’t even aware when the child left the room!”

However, the nanny was at a loss for words and didn’t know how to respond to the scolding.

Then, Symeon reached for his phone and called his private doctor, urgently asking him to

come over.

In about half an hour, the doctor arrived at the villa.

After giving Dulcie some fever-reducing medicine, the doctor reassured him, “The child must have caught a cold. Also, her fever will go down after taking the medicine. Just give her the remaining dose in two hours and keep her warm. Ensure she gets plenty of rest and. drinks warm water. Don’t worry because she’ll be okay in a few days.”

Symeon finally breathed a sigh of relief, wondering how the child had caught a chill. He couldn’t help but question if he had covered her with a blanket last night.

At that moment, Dulcie, softly crying in her sleep, murmured, “Mommy… Mommy…

Grandma…”

Whenever someone fell ill, their emotions could be affected, and this was especially true for children. However, Symeon was a grown man and didn’t know how to comfort a sick child. What should I do?

Seeing the unwell child in bed, Symeon felt helpless. He realized the nanny was unreliable, and no other woman was around to comfort the little one. Suddenly, someone came to his
