But luckily, every time the little creature sleepwalked, she would run straight to their room and then quietly squeeze in between them to sleep.
The doctor said it's a phenomenon that some children experience, and it's not caused by an illness. It was due to the child's cerebral cortex being overly active while sleeping, probably because she played too excitedly before bedtime. As she grows older, she will naturally stop sleepwalking.
As usual, once the little creature fell back into a deep sleep, Gem Atkinson got ready to pick her up and take her to her room. But suddenly, he felt a weak and numb sensation in his hands.
Seeing the man slightly frown, Forsythia Brown asked, "What's wrong?"
After the man said 'It's nothing' he reached out again, lifted the little darling in his arms, and carefully wrapped her in a thin blanket before carrying her out the door.
It was an hour later when the man returned to the room.
He carefully slid into the covers.
