Chapter 730 Sick
After Juliette finished saying that, she took another slice of apple and started munching on it like a hamster.

“Of course.”
Juliette beamed. “Great! I love this place too.”
Right then, Alice brought the two boys in. When the two boys saw the spiral bookcase, their astonishment was written across their faces, too.
It was stunning. Patrick's study was like a library. This was something they had neither seen before nor imagined.
Alice patted their heads. “Go explore. There are a lot of books here, and I'm sure you'll be interested in them.”
Julian and Justin were clearly interested, and they proceeded upstairs.
Alice chuckled. “These two boys are studious despite their young age, and they're quite quick to learn. I'm sure they'll be happy to read more books.”
Earlier, Patrick had not been able to figure out what he could use to convince his sons to come, but
now, he knew what he could do.
His study was more than enough reason. Patrick never thought it would be so easy to deal with them.
Alice then sat beside Juliette. The cute appearance of the girl made the older woman pull Juliette into her arms.
“Pat, Juliette's adorable. I love her so much. I think your grandpa's right. You should marry earlier to let us have some great-grandchildren.”
Then, Alice kissed Juliette's cheeks several times, unable to stop herself.
Juliette was still focused on munching her apple, but whenever Alice kissed her, she would turn to blink at the elderly woman. It made Alice's heart melt.
Patrick asked, “If you love Juliette that much, you can just treat her as your great-granddaughter.”
Alice smiled but said, “It's not the same.”
No matter how much love she had for Juliette, Juliette was, at the end of the day, not a Lowen. It was different.
Patrick lifted his head to look at his sons, who were wandering around the top section of the book racks and were engrossed in reading the books. He curled his lips.
“Grandma, I'll leave the three of them to you tonight.”
Alice liked taking care of them. “Sure. You don't need to worry about this, though it seems like you're not familiar with taking care of children anyway.”
At three in the morning, Patrick was startled awake by someone knocking on his door.
“Mr. Lowen! Mr. Lowen!”
Hearing the voice of the housekeeper, Patrick asked, “What's the matter?”
It was late, and he was tired. However, Hector might be in a bad state.
Therefore, Patrick sat up, put on his house shoes, walked to the door, and opened it.
“Mr. Lowen, it's Ms. Juliette. She's having a fever.”
A trace of worry flashed past Patrick's eyes when he heard that, and he began heading out. He went to the second floor, where the siblings were sleeping with Alice that night.
Upon entering one of the guest rooms on the second floor, he found Alice sitting by the side of the bed, instructing the housekeepers.
“Quick, summon the family doctor!”
After that, she reached out to touch Juliette's forehead and mumbled to herself, “We had no children in the house, so we never prepped any meds meant for kids. I doubt the doctor has it either.”
Patrick walked over to the bed. Juliette's face was red, and she was wriggling on the bed, restless in her sleep.
“Grandma, I'll send her to the hospital.”
With that, he bent over to lift Juliette.
In a panicked voice, Alice said, “Yes, take her to the hospital. I don't think the doctor has meds for kids.”
As Patrick began heading out of the house with Juliette in his hands, he said, “I'll hire a pediatrician in the future.”
Alice froze. “What?”
Is there a need for that? We have no kids at home. Juliette and her brothers are only staying over for a night. Wait, does that mean Pat has finally thought it through? Is he finally ready to get married and have kids?
When that thought formed in her head, Alice followed Patrick out and said, “Yes, you're right. We should hire a pediatrician.”
