“How are you feeling, Mommy? Are you still down with a fever?” Archie and Benny ran to the bed at once, unable to hide their worry from their faces.
Roxanne chuckled as she shook her head. “No. I feel much better now.”
The two boys were not convinced. They stretched out their hands, wanting to check her forehead for themselves.
Seeing so, Roxanne bent down and let them touch her forehead.
Then, she caught sight of the small figure standing behind Archie and Benny. With tears in her eyes, the little girl was biting her lip, concern written all over her face.
She was rather timid when compared to the two boys.
Roxanne's heart melted when she saw that. She smiled at Estella and asked, “Essie, do you want to confirm if I'm okay?”
Estella stiffened for a second before nodding her head vigorously. The next moment, she let go of Lysa’s hand and zoomed toward Roxanne.
The woman had her body bent over as she grabbed Estella's outstretched hand and put it on her forehead.
Shortly after, Estella retracted her hand before finally breaking out into a smile.
“You were all scared, weren't you? I'm sorry for making all of you worried about me.” Roxanne patted each of them lovingly as she recalled their panic-stricken faces upon seeing how she was rushed to the hospital yesterday.
Benny nodded his head vigorously. “Archie and I will be obedient boys from now on. Mommy, please don't overwork yourself, okay?”
With a sullen expression, Archie said nothing. Yet, one could tell that he concurred with his brother on this matter.
Roxanne chuckled before replying, “Sure, I’ll take good care of myself.”
Lysa placed a thermal lunch box on the bedside table and said, “Have you had breakfast? I brought some for you both. Hurry up and eat it while it's still hot.”
Then, she proceeded to take out two bowls to serve them soup and some side dishes.
