Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1597

The Cedillo family eventually found out that Leo had been running a fever and even ended up in the hospital over the holidays—all thanks to Henry.

Seriously, who decides to air a medical drama at just the wrong moment?

That day, Henry was busy sneaking candies from the coffee table, popping one into Wayne’s mouth and another into his own, his cheeks puffed out like a little chipmunk. Suddenly, a scene flashed on TV: a team of doctors racing to save a patient. That image triggered a memory for Henry that he’d almost forgotten.

With a sticky finger, he pointed at the screen, cheeks still full of candy, and declared to everyone, “Nana, big brother got a shot!”

“What are you talking about? Your brother’s perfectly healthy—why would he need a shot?” Grandpa Hansen huffed, thinking Henry was just making things up. Then he turned to Mia: “Hey, look, your little tiger’s stealing candy again.”

As soon as her name was mentioned, Henry darted over and grabbed Mia’s hand for backup, insisting he wanted to go see his brother at the hospital again. That’s when the rest of the family finally noticed the guilty looks shared by Mia and Jade.

When you’ve lived together for years, you can spot when something’s up. “Mia, is Leo sick?” Naomi asked, suspicious.

Half an hour later.

At the Bluewater Apartments, the doorbell rang.

Leo opened the door and was greeted by his grandfather’s stern glare—along with a hearty thump to the chest. “You little troublemaker! You were sick and didn’t tell us?”

Leo rubbed his chest, wincing. “Wait, Grandpa, how did you guys even know I was sick?”

Mia and Jade weren’t exactly gossips—so how did the secret get out?

That afternoon, Henry received a “special present” from his dear brother.

“What’s this?” Henry asked, hugging a big book and examining it.

Mia sat down next to him, ruffling his hair. “Your brother ‘rewarded’ you with a set of alphabet picture books.”
