“What happened to Mommy?” Jamie looked at Charlotte in puzzlement.

“I guess Mommy must be having an upset stomach and needs to poo. I’m always like that, too.” Ellie commented.

“Daddy, did you quarrel with Mommy?” Robbie asked abruptly with his brows furrowed. “Mommy seems to be unhappy.”

Zachary explained patiently to the kids, “No, we didn’t quarrel. Maybe she’s not feeling well. Let me check on her. You guys go ahead and have fun.”

“Alright.” The kids nodded obediently.

Zachary let Mrs. Rawlston and the three nurses accompanied the kids to the garden. Then, he darted toward the washroom and yelled as he knocked lightly on the door, “Charlotte! Are you all right?”

 

“Anything?” Charlotte gritted the word out with great difficulty. She broke into a cold sweat and slumped on the floor, enduring the excruciating pain. She was too feeble to say anything else; there was a sense of weariness in her voice.

“Are you all right?” Zachary asked again, sensing something strange in her voice.

 

“I’m just having an upset stomach…” Charlotte forced herself to sound as natural as possible. “Don’t worry about me. You go ahead and accompany the kids first.”

“Alright.”
