Trevor took the bowl from Celeste. After feeding Jordyn a couple of spoonfuls of oatmeal, he turned to Celeste. "The kitchen should have prepared some other food as well. Why don't you go downstairs and have something to eat?"
Celeste wasn't actually hungry.
However, she and Trevor really had nothing to talk about. So, it was probably better for them to avoid being in the same space whenever possible, especially in front of Jordyn.
She nodded and turned to her daughter. "Jordyn, I'll be going downstairs to get something to eat. I'll come back up after I'm done."
Jordyn replied, "Okay."
Celeste said nothing more and turned to leave.
It was only after Celeste had disappeared through the doorway that Jordyn looked away. The smile on her face faded, and she raised her eyes to look at Trevor.
Perhaps he could tell she had something to say. He wiped the corner of her mouth for her and asked, "What is it?"
Jordyn pursed her little lips, clutching the blanket with both hands. In the end, however, she said nothing and simply continued eating in silence.
Since she wasn't saying anything, Trevor didn't press her.
A little while after she finished eating, he checked her temperature again. Just then, Celeste happened to come upstairs.
Catching sight of her, Trevor looked over and said, "Her fever hasn't returned. It should be completely gone now."
Celeste nodded to show she understood.
Trevor then called the family doctor over to examine Jordyn.
The doctor confirmed that she was recovering well, but advised them to keep an eye on her for a little longer, just to be safe.
Jordyn had sweated quite a bit earlier and was feeling uncomfortable. So, she turned to Celeste and said, "Mom, I want to take a bath."
"You've only just recovered from your fever. It's not a good idea to bathe yet. We'll see about it tomorrow."
"Oh, okay..."
