“Oh, please. What could go wrong with herbal medicine? At worst, they get diarrhea, or it just doesn’t work.. It’s not going to kill anyone, right?” Tara asked.
“Well… that’s true,” Hannah replied.
They were about to discuss more details when they looked up and saw Dawning in.
They immediately stood up straight.
Dawn walked into the kitchen and looked at the two of them standing like soldiers. “What are you two… doing?”
“Uh, just
… a little warm–up before dinner.”
“Yes, yes, warming up.”
Tara also felt awkward and hurriedly turned to get bowls. “Come on, let’s eat. The food’s going to get cold.”
At the table, Ethanpletely took over feeding Benjamin.
Dawn focused on her own te, but food kept being ced into her bowl from both sides.
In the end, she really couldn’t eat anymore and turned her head.
“Mrs. Jackson … I’m really full.”
Tara smiled warmly. “It’s fine, it’s fine. Just finish what’s in your bowl. Look how thin you are!”
Dawn didn’t reply. <i>I’ve </i><i>gained </i><i>several </i><i>pounds </i><i>already</i>.
At <i>this </i><i>rate</i><i>, </i><i>I’m </i><i>really </i><i>going </i><i>to </i><i>get </i><i>fat</i>.
Seeing the pained look on her face, Ethan said lightly, “If you can’t eat, then don’t.”
Hearing that, Dawn happily put down her utensils.
Tara smiled indulgently. “You young people are always afraid of gaining a couple of pounds. Putting on a little weight is good. Your immunity will be better too.”
Then she looked at Benjamin, who was still stuffing his face, and liked him more the longer she watched. “Right, Benjamin?”
The little guy blinked, mouth full.
“Yes, Grandma.”
Tara and Hannah burst outughing.

Dawn took Benjamin for a walk in the garden. Hannah and Tara sat off to the side, drinking tea and watching them.
“Doesn’t all this look nice? It almost feels like three years ago again.”
Hannah thought of the past, her eyes slowly turning red. “These three years have been so hard on Ethan. Thank goodness Dawn is back.”
Tara took a sip of tea. Her quiet voice carried helplessness.
“Maybe this is just what fate had lined up for them.”
Even with Dawn back, he still had his own trials to go through.
Hannah nced over and felt that Tara seemed a little strange. “Is there… something else going on?”
Tara shook her head. “What could there be?”
The lights cast mottled shadows across her eyes.
“When ites to love, it all depends on the two of them. No matter how hard outsiders try, it’s useless.”
Hannah nodded in agreement. “That’s true.”
“Oh, how did I forget? I need to get that tonic going!”
Saying that, Tara energized instantly, her earlier mood gone. “Go on, hurry. Stew a chicken with it. Don’t let them find out.”
Hannah pped her hands, sneaked a nce into the distance, then hurried inside.
Dawn was starting to feel tired from walking around with the kid.
“Benjamin, can you y by yourself for a bit?“.
“You’re not ying anymore?”
Benjamin spread his hands. “Then I won’t either.”
Dawn was speechless. He was making it sound like he’d been the one apanying Dawn the whole time.
Not knowing whether tough or cry, she rubbed his head. “Thanks for ying with me, darling.”
The little guy sighed like an old man. “Didn’t you say you gained weight? I’m helping you exercise.”
“What…”

Benjamin pouted and ran off.
He shouted, “I’m not a little brat!”
Dawn frowned slightly. Something about that felt tender and raw.

Benjamin hadn’t been very healthy as a baby. On top of that, he barely drank milk or ate, and he’d grown much slower than other kids.
He had gone to preschool abroad for half a year. Because he’d been excluded by other kids, Aidan had no choice but to bring him home again.
If they were going to settle here, it was time to let him integrate again.
Thinking that, Dawn texted Hazel and asked her to gather information about suitable schools so they could decideter.
After working up a sweat outside, they had to bathe again.
With Ethan busy, Dawn handled it alone this time.
After a long day, Benjamin fell asleep not long after.
There was a knock at the door. Dawn went to open it, and Hannah said brightly, “I made some chicken soup. Come taste it and see if it’s to your taste.”
Dawn blinked. “We’re about to sleep. You want me to drink it now?”
“I already … poured it out.”
Faced with her hopeful look, Dawn couldn’t bring herself to refuse. She nodded. “Alright, I’ll try some.”
She tested the temperature, then lifted the bowl and drank it up in one go.
She made a face.
“It tastes really strong. Like medicine.”
