“You’re just getting better and haven’t fully recovered.”
Byron’s eyebrows were knitted, and he disagreed.
Rosalie patiently explained, “I know what I’m doing. I can get out of bed and walk now.”
The two were in a standoff.
After debating for a while, Byron compromised. “You can’t leave the hospital. If you’re worried, I can ask Luther to bring them to the hospital.”
Rosalie hesitated upon hearing that suggestion. “They’ll know I’m ill if they come here.”
She did not want to worry the kids.
.
Byron pondered momentarily and suggested, “Just say you got a cold and fever after getting off the plane, and I asked you to go to the hospital. They’re kids and won’t know much.”
Rosalie did not think it was a good idea. However, she agreed since Byron had said so.
Byron called Luther immediately.
Luther had just sent Mary and Chloe back. Just as he parked the car below the hospital, he got a call from Byron.
“Sir, I’ve driven Miss Lincoln and Miss Wilson back home.”
Luther reported as soon as the call went through.
“Okay. Please go to the manor again this evening and fetch the children.”
Luther froze. “Didn’t you say we should keep the little lady and masters from knowing this?”
Would they not be letting them know Rosalie was ill by bringing them to the hospital?
Luther felt guilty facing the kids’ gazes, but he had to answer their question.
“It is not that serious. While returning, Mrs. Lawrence caught a fever, and Mr. Lawrence took her to the hospital for a check-up. You guys don’t have to worry about it.”
The little ones did not quite believe it.
Luther could only say, “If you guys are worried, why don’t you go to the hospital? If something has happened to Mrs. Lawrence, why would they ask me to drive you guys there?”
The kids’ believed him reluctantly and informed Mrs. Zora before they left.
They were worried and in a moody state all the way to the hospital.
Luther felt guilty and sighed silently, not knowing how to comfort the kids.
The little ones had no idea they almost lost their mommy a day ago…
