“Dr. Alice, thank you for treating Jodie these past few weeks,” Xen sald warmly. “I know Mr. Jasper has already paid you, and that’s his part. But this is a small token of appreciation from our family. I hope you won’t turn it down.”

Alice accepted, touched by the sincerity.

That evening, Xena personally prepared a table full of Charlotte’s Cavorite dishes.

With Jodie fully recovered and Charlotte finally discharged, it felt like a good day for the Riley family.

The whole family sat around the table, warm and cheerful, enjoying a rare moment of peace and togetherness.

The next afternoon, after Dr. Alice had left, Charlotte stayed home to watch cartoons with her little sister.

Suddenly, a video call request popped up from Scott.

Charlotte blinked in surprise. Why was he calling her like this?

If it were something important, he would usually call. If it wasn’t urgent, he would just send a message. A direct video call was a

first.

Curious, she tapped “Accept.”

To her surprise, it wasn’t Scott’s face on the screen. It was his little cousin, Tiana.

The adorable girl was wearing the pink Prada hair clip Charlotte had given her. Her hair was tied into pigtails, and the moment she saw Charlotte, her eyes curved into little crescent moons, with dimples blooming on her cheeks.

“Hi, Charlotte!” Tiana’s voice was soft and sweet, like cotton candy.

Charlotte smiled. “Hey, Tiana!”

So that was what happened–Tiana must have been playing with Scott’s phone and accidentally video–called her.

Jodie, sitting beside Charlotte, perked up at the sound. She leaned her fuzzy little head toward the screen and waved. “Tiana!”

“Hi, Jodie!” Tiana giggled back.

Jodie leaned in even closer, her chubby cheeks filling the screen. She looked absolutely adorable.

“When are you coming over to play?” Jodie asked in her soft little voice.

Tiana answered right away, “Tomorrow’s Saturday! I’ll ask Scott to bring me to your house, okay?”

“Okay! I’ll ask Mommy to make yummy food for you!”

“I want the teddy bear cookies your mommy made last time!”

“Alright, I’ll tell Mommy to make them tomorrow.”

The two little girls kept chatting, going back and forth happily. Charlotte handed the phone to Jodie so they could talk more freely.

About ten minutes later, the screen changed. Scott had taken the phone back.

Jodie handed it to Charlotte and said sweetly, “Sis, I finished talking with Tiana. Scott wants to talk to you now.”

Charlotte took the phone, and Scott’s face came into view.

There was a warm smile in his eyes. “Sorry about that, Miss Riley. I let Tiana watch cartoons on my phone and didn’t realize she tapped your contact and started a video call. Hope she didn’t bother you?”
