On the other hand, it was supposed to be a half an hour trip, but I beat the red lights and arrived home in 15 minutes.

As soon as I opened the door to the house, I saw Galen frantically running into the bedroom with a bag of ice.

My heart immediately clenched. Without even changing my shoes, I rushed into Nicole and Winnie’s bedroom and said anxiously, “Nicole, hang in there! Mommy will send you to the hospital now.”

The moment I entered the room, I saw Nicole, whose face was red, lying on the small bed. She was covered with a blanket and her eyes were slightly open. She looked at me weakly.

I pushed Galen, who was standing in front of the bed blocking my way. I reached out to pick Nicole up and ran out, but Galen stopped me just as my hand touched the blanket.

“Ahem, Luna, I think Nicole’s getting better. Maybe we shouldn’t go to the hospital,” Galen said unnaturally.

“How could she not need to go to the hospital? Look at her, her face is so red!” I frowned deeply and pried him away before trying to pick Nicole up.

“Mommy… I feel much better,” Nicole said to me, panting slightly. As she spoke, a wave of heat rose from the top of her head.

My heart ached as I reached out to touch her forehead. Sure enough, it was burning hot. I was so scared that my voice trembled. “Nicole! You’re burning up like this. You have to go to the hospital with mommy!”

“It’s okay, kids have good recovery skills. They’ll be fine in a while.” Galen squeezed over again, trying to stop me.

Seeing my nervous expression, Nicole opened her eyes and whispered, “Mommy, I’m really fine. Just stay with me.”

“Really?” Only then did I realize that something was wrong. I narrowed my eyes and asked suspiciously.

According to the temperature of my hand on Nicole’s forehead, she has a fever of at least 40 degrees. However, under a 40-degree fever, even an adult will lose consciousness. How can Nicole talk to me so clearly?

I silently sat down next to Nicole. As expected, my butt was sitting on something bulging. It was even emitting heat through the thick blanket.

These two guys are probably playing a prank on me again!

I had already understood Nicole and Galen’s trick. However, I did not expose them. Instead, I silently looked at Nicole.

There was a moment of panic in Nicole’s eyes as she looked at me. Then she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious.

“Sigh—”

At this moment, Winnie, who had been standing silently at the side, sighed faintly.

I didn’t turn my head. In my peripheral vision, Galen nervously poked Winnie with his hand and said in an extremely soft voice, “Don’t expose yourself!”

Winnie shook her head and said again, “You can’t fool mommy like this.”

I didn’t move, but Galen jumped up and said, “What are you talking about? Winnie, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t talk nonsense!”

I turned my head around and looked at Galen expressionlessly. He immediately quieted down and said awkwardly, “Uh, we were just kidding, Luna. Don’t mind me.”

“Yeah,” I replied coolly, then continued to sit by the bed.

Finally, after a stalemate for five minutes, Nicole was the first to lose control. She abruptly sat up and shouted, “Ahwooh, it’s so hot! Galen, the hot water bag you stuffed into my blanket is so hot!”
