“I need to confirm something…” answered Robbie. He was not in a hurry to share that information with Jamie. Instead, Robbie suggested, “You guys go ahead and have lunch without me. I want to take a closer look.”

“Okay,” said Jamie, who sounded a little disappointed when he added, “I can’t read in that language and can’t help much, anyway.”

“I’ll ask Mrs. Rawlston to take the lunch over so you can eat while reading the documents,” said Ellie. She poured Robbie a glass of water and instructed, “Here, have a sip first. Don’t wear yourself out.”

“Thank you, Ellie,” replied Robbie while nodding. He later urged, “Go on now. Don’t let yourself go hungry.”

“Alright,” said Ellie. She turned around and was ready to leave, but Fifi the parrot saw the photo in the document. It flapped its wings excitedly and said, “Mommy! Mommy!”

Robbie put the document away instantly and frowned at Fifi before growling, “Fifi, don’t make a scene!”

 

“Fifi, you meanie,” complained Jamie angrily, “You acted up the last time we were in the hospital as well. You kept calling Mommy and flew all the way to the stairs. We had no choice but to chase after you.”

“Mommy, mommy…”

Fifi called out again. Jamie and Ellie both glared over, and the parrot had no choice but to hide its tiny head under its wings. It no longer dared to call out.
