Chapter 23 Daniel pondered , ' It'd be cool if Mom and Dad were together . Then we could hang out every day . ' With that thought , he slapped his thigh and exclaimed , " Let's do it ! " Amelia jumped at his sudden outburst and looked up at him . Daniel plopped down next to her , grinning . " Amelia , don't you want to be with Mom and Dad forever ? I've got an idea . Let's play matchmaker and get them hitched . Then we can all be together forever ! " Amelia nodded enthusiastically . It was a great idea , and she was all in . " Alright , let's do it ! " That evening , Monica brought the kids back to Lakeview Bay . They had all worked together on the house's design , so even though it was their first time back , it felt familiar , and they quickly found their rooms . Monica found it odd . " Weren't you two set on staying in the other rooms ? " " The other rooms ? " Sophia was momentarily confused and exchanged a look with William . They quickly figured it out . Daniel and Amelia must have decided not to take their rooms . What now ? William was just as clueless . Sophia's eyes darted around , and she smiled at Mom . " Those rooms are for our other siblings . We missed them so much before , so we wanted to stay in their rooms . " Monica looked at her , skeptical . William , listening in , couldn't help but nod and give Sophia a thumbs - up . He was impressed by her quick thinking . Sophia quickly added , " Mom , didn't you think we were acting a bit weird the past few days , like we were totally different people ? " " Yeah , " Monica nodded . " Did you like us the way we were the past few days ? " 1/4 Chapter 23 Despite the kids recent ariusual behavior , Monica found herself loving them . Sophia pulled Monica to sit on the couch , snuggled into her arms , and continued her story . " Mom , don't overthink it . We were just trying to act like our siblings to make you happy . " Monica definitely wished her other two kids could come back . When Sophia and William got back to their rooms , William couldn't help but say , " That was impressive ! " " Of course ! " Sophia said , lifting her chin proudly . But Monica wasn't someone who could be easily fooled . Lying in bed that night , thinking about her daughter from the past few days , she didn't buy Sophia's story . The two kids from the past few days were completely different people , but they looked exactly like William and Sophia . She had no better explanation to convince herself otherwise . Her eyes slowly turned red . If her other two kids could come back to her , how amazing would that be ? As she thought about it , tears started streaming down her face . That night , she didn't sleep well . She kept hearing the sound of children crying , sometimes near , sometimes far , making her heart ache . She suddenly woke up from her dream , and the crying was even clearer . Was Sophia crying ? Monica hurried out of her room and went to her daughter's room . Sure enough , it was Sophia crying . William was sitting by her bed , trying to comfort her . " Sophia , what's wrong ? " Monica quickly sat on the other side and held her in her arms . " I dreamed of my sister , " Sophia sobbed . " She was crying , saying she couldn't find Mommy and missed Mommy . " Monica held her tightly , trying to comfort her . William frowned . Sophia never cried . He also felt uneasy , not as intense as Sophia's , but he felt like something was off . So he quietly picked up his phone and sent a message to Daniel . At the Smith Villa . Amelia woke up crying from her dream . Alone in the dark room , without Monica by her side , Amelia cried 2/4 3:36 am Chapter 23 uncontrollably . Daniel was the closest one to her room . He came in , turned on the light , and saw her sitting on the bed , her face red and full of tears . Daniel was startled and quickly sat down next to her . When he touched her arm , her body temperature was frighteningly high . Daniel hurriedly touched her forehead , which was even hotter . She had a fever . " Amelia , sit here . I'll go get Daddy , " Daniel said as he got up . Amelia grabbed his hand and looked at him with teary eyes . Daniel immediately understood . " Amelia , do you miss Mommy ? " She nodded . Because at Lakeview Bay , she slept with Monica every night . Daniel kept comforting her , but it was no use . Alexander heard the noise and came over . Seeing Amelia with a tear - streaked face , his heart tightened . He held her in his arms and was also startled . " Daniel , go get someone to call the doctor . " Daniel immediately ran out and asked the servant to call the family doctor . Half an hour later , the family doctor arrived and gave Amelia a fever - reducing injection and some medicine . However , she remained emotionally fragile , seeking comfort in Alexander's presence and occasionally twitching . The doctor said , " It should be fine once the fever goes down , but ... " " But what ? " Alexander and Daniel asked simultaneously . " Amelia's situation is different . From her current state , she seems to be frightened . " Alexander didn't say anything and had the family doctor sent away . After that , Alexander took his daughter back to his room , with Daniel following behind . Daniel wasn't at ease with Amelia in this state . Alexander had them lie on his bed and covered them with a blanket . Amelia snuggled closer to him . 3/4 3:36 am P PP Chapter 23 Alexander held her and kept comforting her . The next day , her fever had mostly subsided , and she finally slept soundly . When Alexander took Daniel downstairs for breakfast , Stella appeared .
