Lysa went to wake Archie and Benny up the next morning.
Tender feelings formed within her the moment she opened the door and saw them asleep in the same bed.
They woke up on their own before she said anything.
However, their countenances were pale.
“Ms. Lane, my head hurts...”
Having sobbed for some time and fallen asleep late last night, their voices were still hoarse, and their faces were a little pale.
Lysa's heart sank upon hearing that. She quickly checked their temperature, but they showed no signs of having a fever.
“Hold on. I'm going to fetch your mother.”
With that, Lysa left to get Roxanne.
Roxanne had been busy with research those past few days. By then, she was all prepared and ready to leave.
When she heard Lysa mention that the kids weren't feeling well, she put her bag down and hurried to their room upstairs.
“What's wrong? Ms. Lane told me you aren't feeling well.”
Benny threw himself into Roxanne's arms. “Mommy, my head hurts.”
Roxanne frowned and reached out to check on him, only to find that he showed no symptoms.
Archie yawned beside them. “Benny kept snatching my blanket, so I hadn't slept well.”
Roxanne surmised upon hearing what they said, “You might have caught a cold while snatching the blanket from each other.”
Both the boys had bitter looks on their faces.
As soon as Roxanne let go of Benny, he flopped onto the bed lifelessly.
Roxanne furrowed her brows upon noticing how unwell they seemed to be. “I'll let you take a day off from school so you can get some rest at home.”
The boys nodded and agreed with that.
After that, Roxanne immediately informed Pippa of the boys' absence that day.
