Charlotte comforted him, "It's okay. When the weather clears up tomorrow, we'll take your master down the mountain for a check-up and bring you along for some fun. How does that sound?"
Being such a young child, the prospect of going down the mountain to play made Peter's eyes light up.
He even started urging Charlotte and Joe to rest early so they could get an early start the next day.
Charlotte found herself both amused by his enthusiasm.
Out of respect for the temple, Charlotte and Joe didn't sleep in the same room but stayed in two adjacent rooms instead.
Despite the rooms' simple furnishings, they looked clean, indicating that the master and Peter probably kept them in good order.
In a strange room, all alone, Charlotte thought she might have trouble sleeping or feel anxious. However, as soon as she lay down, she fell into a deep slumber.
The next morning, Charlotte was awakened by a rapid knocking on her door.
She sat up in bed, feeling uncomfortable, and held her head. Perhaps it was the rain from yesterday, but she had a splitting headache, and her whole body felt heavy and sluggish.
Glancing at the weather outside, after a night of rain, the sky was now clear and beautifully blue, a sight to behold.
After briefly settling her discomfort, Charlotte got out of bed. She was met with an anxious-looking Peter when she opened her room door.
Peter exclaimed urgently, "I just went to wake up Master for morning prayers, but no matter how hard I knocked, he didn't respond! Could something be wrong?"
"I'll go check with you," Charlotte said. Without hesitation, she followed Peter, ready to leave.
At that moment, Joe emerged from his room. "I'm going with you."
