Married At First Sight Chapter 3985 Chapter 3985

Sonny leaned into Serenity, waiting for her to hold him. His fever had left him clingy, seeking comfort in her arms.

"Auntie, I want some porridge," Sonny said softly.

He hadn't had much of an appetite at kindergarten earlier, but now that his fever was subsiding, hunger was catching up to him. All he wanted was a simple bowl of porridge.

Serenity picked him up and gently touched his forehead. His temperature felt normal, but to be sure, she carried him downstairs and grabbed a thermometer. While measuring his temperature, she asked the kitchen to prepare some porridge for him.

"I didn't have anyone make porridge ahead of time," she explained. "So you'll need to wait a little while, Sonny."noveldrama

He cuddled closer to her and murmured, “But I'm really hungry, Auntie. Can I have a snack while I wait?"

Serenity glanced at Lilian and asked, "Doctor Carden, is it okay for Sonny to have a snack since he has a cold?"

Lilian smiled and replied, "He can, but just a little. Otherwise, he might not want his dinner later."

Serenity handed Sonny a small snack and asked, "How about this, Sonny?"

"Auntie, can you feed me?" he asked, his voice laced with the sweet vulnerability of a sick child.

"Of course, I'll feed you," Serenity said, her tone warm and indulgent.

Whenever Sonny was sick, he became extra clingy-always wanting to be held, fed, and doted on. Serenity had cared for him since birth and understood these moments well. She gently broke the snack into smaller pieces and fed him with care.

Lilian watched the tender exchange for a few moments before reminding her, "Seren, it's been a few minutes. You can take the thermometer out now."

Serenity carefully removed the thermometer from under Sonny's arm, checked the reading, and said, "37.8 degrees. The fever isn't completely gone yet."

She handed it to Lilian, who confirmed, "It's still a low-grade fever, which is normal. He only had one dose of medicine so far, and his throat is inflamed again. Once he takes his next dose, his fever should go down completely."

Lilian then poured Sonny a glass of warm water and handed it to him. "Sonny, make sure you drink more water, okay?"

Sonny accepted the glass and said sweetly, "Thank you, Doctor Carden."

At that moment, the butler entered the room and addressed Serenity. “Madam, Mr.

Lewis is here."

Serenity smiled and replied, "Please bring him in. Brother Duncan is always welcome." Turning to Sonny, she added softly, "Sonny, your Uncle Duncan heard you weren't feeling well and left work to come check on you. Do you know why you caught this cold? It's because you kicked off your blanket at night and ate too much fried chicken and potato chips. That upset your stomach, made your throat inflamed, and gave you a fever. You'll need to take medicine for the next two days to get better."

Sonny's big eyes blinked up at her, listening intently.

Serenity continued, "From now on, you need to eat less fried chicken and chips. When you want some, just tell me or Uncle Duncan, and we'll have the chef make it for you. But you can't eat too much, okay? Eating too much junk food can make your throat inflamed again, and you'll end up sick like this."

Sonny thought back to when his grandparents had taken him shopping. They'd asked him what he wanted to eat, and he'd chosen fried chicken. He remembered eating a lot of it because it tasted so good.

He nodded earnestly, though his understanding was still limited. "Auntie, I get it. I'll eat less from now on. But if I really want it, will you really make it for me? You and Mom always say it's junk food and won't let me have any."

Serenity's expression softened. "If we make it at home, it'll be healthier, and you can have a little. But even then, you can't eat too much. The weather here isn't ideal for eating high-calorie foods like that. It can make you sick easily."

Sonny tilted his head in curiosity. "Auntie, why isn't the weather here good for that kind of food?"
