Lara was very worried about Helen. She got changed and helped Willow with packing.
When Rachel saw this, she too started helping by packing up the children's clothes and supplies.
After they packed up everything they needed, Willow woke the children up one by one.
"Tristan, Julian, Hailey, Lilith, wake up." Willow shook their shoulders one at a time.
Tristan woke up and opened his eyes. He still had a sleepy and confused look on his face.
He saw Willow and Rachel. "Mommy, is it time for school?"
While speaking, he lifted his hand and rubbed his eyes.
Julian merely opened his eyes once. Unable to resist the sleepiness, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
It was three in the morning. It was the time when most children would be in deep sleep.
Waking them up right away was an impossible task.
Hailey, on the other hand, did not even budge. Regardless of what happened out there, it had nothing to do with her. Nothing was more important to her than sleeping.
Likewise, Lilith was also sound asleep. Willow shook her shoulders, but she did not move at all.
Willow saw how deep in sleep her children were. She could not bring herself to wake them up.
However, it was an emergency. She had no choice but to wake them up one by one, and she had to do it fast.
"Tristan, we're not going to school. Your grandmother and I need to go back to the countryside to visit Aunt Helen. Trista, we're in a hurry. You're the most obedient one. Get dressed."
Willow was noticeably anxious.
She could not hide it even if she wanted to.
Tristan could hear the urgency in Willow's voice. Although he wanted to continue sleeping, he shook his head and forcefully stayed awake. He then started getting dressed like the obedient child that he was.
