Early one morning, Lala noticed something unusual about Ni. Usually energetic and curious, Ni sat quietly in the corner, eyes dull and movements slow. Even when Lala offered Ni a favorite snack, there was no response. A quiet worry crept into Lala’s heart. She quickly called for Mom, and together they decided not to wait any longer. They wrapped Ni gently in a soft blanket and headed to the hospital.
The ride felt longer than usual. Lala kept talking softly to Ni, promising everything would be okay, while Mom focused on the road, her face calm but tense. At the hospital, the bright lights and unfamiliar smells made Lala nervous. She held Ni’s little paw tightly as the doctor began the examination.
After checking Ni’s temperature, listening to the heartbeat, and running several tests, the doctor asked them to wait outside. Those minutes felt endless. Lala’s thoughts raced with fear, imagining the worst, while Mom tried to reassure her with a gentle smile and a warm hug.
Finally, the doctor returned with a surprising expression—one that wasn’t serious, but amused. “Ni isn’t sick at all,” the doctor said kindly. “In fact, Ni is very healthy.” Lala and Mom stared at each other in disbelief. If Ni wasn’t ill, then what was wrong?
The doctor explained that Ni was simply exhausted and slightly dehydrated. Ni had been playing too hard for several days, barely resting, and the body finally demanded a break. With some fluids, proper meals, and good rest, Ni would be back to normal in no time.
Relief washed over Lala like a warm wave. She laughed, tears still clinging to her eyes, and hugged Ni close. Mom thanked the doctor repeatedly, her worry melting into gratitude. On the way home, Ni already seemed brighter, eyes sparkling again as if nothing had happened.
That day taught Lala and Mom an important lesson: love means paying attention, and sometimes the most frightening moments end with the happiest surprises. With care, patience, and a little rest, everything truly could be okay again.
