By the time Roxanne woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Archie, Benny, and Estella eyeballing her earnestly in a file.
“Mommy!”
“Ms. Jarvis!”
Seeing that she had awakened, the children greeted her in unison and threw themselves at her while giggling away.
At the sight of the three soothing countenances, Roxanne's heart melted in a flash.
She reached out and stroked their heads before slowly sitting up.
Since she had just awoken, she was still a tad disorientated. She couldn't shake off the feeling that she had seemingly forgotten something.
Be that as it may, the three children in front of her gave her no time to ponder upon that.
“How are you guys feeling?” Roxanne scrutinized them in concern.
Last night, she thought they would have recovered after ingesting the medicine.
Unexpectedly, Benny still felt unwell. That was the only reason she agreed to let them stay overnight.
I wonder how much they've have recovered now.
At her question, Benny flashed her a guilty smile. “I'm fine now. I'm feeling much better after a good night's sleep!”
Still worried, Roxanne checked the children over again and ascertained that there were no problems before dropping the matter.
Just when she let go of their hands, Estella's stomach started growling all of a sudden.
It wasn't until then that she remembered that they hadn't eaten much when they took ill last night.
But I never expected us to spend the night here and neglected to prepare sufficient food. There's still food left from yesterday, but it isn't fresh anymore. On top of that, I don't dare to feed them anything I brought after the incident last night.
Following that line of thought, she got up without hesitation. “Let's go back.”
