Chapter 1122

"Mom's here."

Sherilyn hesitated, keeping her distance. "Mom's fine, Jenna sweetheart... Mommy took her medicine, and she'll be better soon."

"Okay, Jenna will wait for Mommy!"

"Alright, Mommy knows."

Gilbert glanced at Sophia and handed Jenna over to her, patting Jenna's head gently. "Go with Sophia and get ready for bed."

"Okay, Daddy."

Once Jenna was settled, Gilbert turned back inside.

"No need."

Sherilyn shook her head and sat up on her own.

Gilbert couldn't help but smile a little. Jenna was quite something; as soon as she was around, Sherilyn was willing to eat.

"Here we go."

Gilbert picked up the bowl, spoon in hand, scooping up a bit and bringing it to Sherilyn's lips. "Be careful, it's hot."
