At 11:30 a.m., Theo Hughes had already picked up Amy from the kindergarten, and William had everything prepared in the kitchen well in advance.
He had bought some beef, prepared it himself, and placed it on the grill.
He also bought a rabbit and kept it in the yard.
Alice hadn't forgotten the task William gave her and arrived early. Nathaniel had a liver problem, so Alice brought over some prescription medicines for him. The side effects of these medicines were relatively minimal, and the primary goal of the initial treatment was to stabilize his bodily functions. As is well known, all medicines have potential side effects, especially when it comes to liver issues. For comprehensive treatment of this ailment, stronger medicines might be needed in later stages. The main purpose of the treatment for the first half-month was to strengthen and stabilize Nathaniel's body.
William merely glanced at the medicines Alice brought without giving any comment.
