Meanwhile, at the manor, Sophie was watching the healer who was checking on Jack and Anne. After Leland went away, the babies had been showing signs that they became weak. She assumed this was because they missed their father very much.
He doted on them and always spent time with them every day. So, she thought since they didn't feel his touch for days, they became sick out of longing for their father.
Sophie didn't think too much about it because Leland promised he would only be away for one week. Surely the babies would be fine and they could get used to without his presence for the time being. The older children understood that Leland was away, but the babies didn't.
When Sophie asked Luciel to talk to their younger siblings and explained, the babies were visibly upset and they didn't want to be nursed for the whole day. This stressed Sophie, on top of her concern about Leland's mission being successful or not.
