It was late at night by the time Roxanne arrived home. However, Archie and Benny were still awake. They opened their bedroom door carefully and stuck their heads out when they heard her coming up the stairs.
Roxanne grew heavy-hearted as she was reminded of the kids at the orphanage when she saw the boys.
Seeing her expression, the boys ran over to her and asked in concern, “Mommy, what's wrong? Did something happen at the medical consultation today?”
Roxanne forced out a smile and led them back to the room.
The boys flanked Roxanne and stared at her earnestly. “Mommy, how are the children in the orphanage?”
Roxanne shook her head ruefully. “They don't have parents. In fact, some of them were abandoned by their parents because they were sick. However, they are still very obedient and understanding.”
Images of those kids lying on the bed flashed through her mind, as well as those who were sent to the hospital because the doctors were helpless to treat them.
After learning about their condition, the children hadn't forgotten to thank the doctors.
Archie and Benny shared a look as their expressions grew stern. They asked carefully, “Are the children very ill?"
Roxanne inclined her head gently.
“Some were abandoned by their parents at the orphanage as their parents couldn't afford to save them.”
“Mommy, can't you save them either?” Benny gazed at her innocently.
To him, Roxanne was the best doctor in the world and was capable of treating all kinds of illnesses.
