Chapter 3
Pneumonia. Fatigue. Definite undernourishment. The poor girl was nothing but a mess. Child Protective services had been sent to Molly's home when they were informed of the incident.
The economy wasn't their fault, but at the very least her family could've done something instead of neglecting the youngest child.
For the first week of her stay at the hospital, one of the two would be by her side, petting her hair and comforting the poor, shivering girl.
Keeping her temperature in check and testing the pneumonia was the easy part. The hard part, was helping her eat again.
Molly would gladly accept small portions of food, but 'normal' amounts of food would be turned away. She couldn't stomach much from such a long time of starving herself.
At the very least, she had her friends looking out for her.
Sylvie would try to, although not completely being successful, try to get a psychology report done on her. He wanted to do all he could to help Molly, no matter what it was.
Giovanni on the other hand was not about to go through all of Sylvie's 'nerdy' ideas. He believed that the only treatment his little 'kiddo' needed was some TLC, warmth, and soup. And her meds of course. Health was just as importance if not more important than safety, after all!
It was hard for Molly, even, to get used to the situation. Two of her best friends were fighting over how she ought to be handled during these 'difficult times' as Sylvie put it.
She loved them, she really did. But their overbearingness and need to help her was overwhelming. Not to mention obnoxious.
So when she heard that she was being dispatched from the hospital to live with Giovanni with occasional visits to Sylvie for psychological analysis, it was easy to say it was a shocker, and she was in for a ride.
