"She is teething," Hazel said when she saw the look of worry in Ranon's face because Ashlyn didn't stop crying.
It was late evening, and Ashlyn had been very fussy since the day before. Now her body was slightly warm.
Ranon just returned when he heard the baby's cry, and he went to the balcony, where Hazel was trying to calm her down.
Peni and Renna had been trying to appease the baby, but Ashlyn wanted her mother. She snuggled against Hazel's neck, holding her rubber toy. Tears streamed down her chubby cheeks.
"Her body is warm." Ranon placed his palm on Ashlyn's head. The baby raised her arms, asking her father to pick her up.
Hazel gave her to Ranon and felt her arms were sore since she had been holding her baby for hours. The little one was unwilling to be put down, and she only wanted her mother.
However, now that Ranon was here, she wanted her father to carry her.
