บท 44: Complication

Lotus awoke from her sleep to find a text from Peter saying, "I will be waiting for you before your house to take you to the construction site."

Lotus's face lit up with a sweet smile. Her bedroom door slammed open unexpectedly. Two small figures dashed in and jumped into her bed.

"Mommy, I woke up before James today," Jenny explained. Lotus pecked on Jenny's face. She then drew James into her lap. However, when she touched James, she noticed that his body was warm.

"James baby, do you have a fever?" she inquired, checking his temperature with her hand. James simply shrugged and sat on her lap.

Peter had been waiting for Lotus for fifteen minutes outside her gate. But she was nowhere to be found. He decided to call her and dialed her phone number. Lotus received the call after a few rings.
