The next morning, Ariana got up early and prepared breakfast.
Though her cooking skills left something to be desired, she could still manage a simple breakfast.
Even though Gracie was being looked after by Assistant Hills at the hospital, how could Ariana rest easy after what had just happened? Of course, she had to return to the hospital. So after making breakfast, she quietly left the house and hitched a ride with Lambert to the hospital.
Naturally, she didn’t wake the children.
Deep down, Ariana wanted them to sleep a little longer. She only informed the butler, instructing him to tell the kids once they woke up.
And so.
When Carson woke up and caught the scent of breakfast wafting from downstairs, his eyes lit up the moment he learned his mother had made it. He immediately dashed toward the stairs with eager little footsteps. The butler blinked in surprise and called out, "Young Master? Where are you going?"
Carson turned back. "I’m going to find Mom."
The butler chuckled helplessly. "Madam isn’t here—she’s already returned to the hospital to take care of your little sister. But don’t worry, Young Master. She’ll be back by evening, and she’ll bring your sister home too."
In an instant, the excitement on Carson’s face vanished without a trace.
His small hands tightened around the stair railing, his lips pressing into a thin line as he stood frozen at the top of the stairs for a long moment. Then, slowly, he trudged back down.
The butler assumed the young master was just throwing a tantrum and thought little of it, moving on to wake the other children.
By the time Lucian and Kevin came downstairs, they found Carson silently eating his breakfast.
The gloom radiating off him was so thick even a blind man could tell he was in a foul mood.
As the eldest brother, Lucian naturally had to ask.
He blinked and asked, "Carson, what's wrong with you?"
Carson ignored him.
Kevin frowned, wanting to remind him that his attitude wasn't appropriate, but then seemed to think better of it and pressed his lips together, staying silent.
Seeing his younger brother like this, Lucian became even more convinced that something was amiss. He quickly asked, "Did something happen? If there's anything, tell your big brother."
Carson clutched his sandwich for a long moment before finally looking up at Lucian. "Big brother."
Lucian: "Hmm?"
"Can we ask Great-Grandmother to take care of little sister at her place?" Carson gazed at Lucian with wide, pleading eyes, his dark pupils brimming with hope.
"...Why?"
"Isn't it said that little sister isn't in good health?" Carson lowered his lashes, obscuring his expression. "So Great-Grandmother would definitely take better care of her."
