Chapter 513 Ignoring His Call

Amanda entered the villa and spotted Symeon waiting inside, looking somewhat disheveled. She immediately noticed how the typically well-groomed man appeared exhausted from tending to a sick child.

“Thank you,” he uttered, conveying his appreciation in just two words. He felt grateful that Amanda had come, considering Dulcie wasn’t her child and had no connection to her.

“I didn’t come to help you. I came for the child’s sake,” she clarified her intentions. She had. arrived to spite Elias, who had infuriated her by being with Rosie at the office. However, she didn’t want to dwell on it. At this moment, her top priority was to ensure Dulcie’s well-being.

“Well, thank you anyway.”

“No problem. Where’s the child? I’ll go take a look.”

“She’s upstairs. She’s had some fever-reducing medicine, but she’s been semi-conscious, occasionally calling for her mother,” Symeon explained as he led Amanda upstairs.

“Children tend to miss their moms, especially when they feel unwell. And with your serious expression, it’s no surprise she’s scared of you,” she muttered as she followed him, but he silently listened without retorting.

After entering the room, Amanda saw Dulcie curled up on the bed, repeatedly calling for her mother. It was a heart-wrenching scene. She sat on the bed and gently placed her hand on Dulcie’s forehead, which still felt hot with fever. “Her temperature hasn’t gone down. Has she been taking the medicine on time? She’s still shivering.” Following this, she wrapped the child in a blanket and fetched another from the end of the bed to ensure she was snugly covered.

“Mommy… Mommy…” Dulcie kept calling for her mother.

As a mother herself, Amanda was heartbroken. She gently lifted Dulcie from the bed and held her close in her arms, using her body heat to provide comfort and warmth.

“Do you want me to call a doctor?” Symeon furrowed his brows.

“No, it’s okay. Dulcie’s already starting to sweat. Her fever should go down as she sweats it out, and she’ll start feeling better. Please, go get a glass of water for her. Keeping her well- hydrated when she has a fever is essential since she loses fluids quickly.”

After hearing this, he went to get a glass of warm water.

She carefully gave Dulcie half a glass of water and reassured her, “Sweetie, go to sleep. Mommy’s right here with you.
