He then prescribed medication for treating the cold and fever. Take this medicine three times a day. Make sure to stay warm, and drink plenty of hot fluids.”

Hazel collected the prescribed medicine and Ped to fetch hot water from the kitchen.

Caleb had been observing from a distance and approached only after the others had departed

Gazing at the ailing Madeline, his heart aching, Caleb didn’t say anything for a moment. Then, he softly inquired, “Do you want to take a day off on Monday?”
