"We didn't want to disturb you since you were all asleep when we got home, " Freda explained with a grin. "Let's go downstairs. Let your Mommy get some rest."
"Okay!" All five children formed a line and marched downstairs with Freda.
After a sneeze, Randy, too, went downstairs with the other children while holding a book he planned to read in the car later.
"The breakfast's ready!" Rogan came out of the kitchen with an apron on as she was in charge of the breakfast today.
She greeted the children with a smile. "I made you your favorite breakfast today!"
"You know how to make breakfast?" Venus tilted her head aside and asked, "I'm pretty sure Mr. Bugara helped you with it."
"Quite some time ago, Bugara secretly asked Mrs. Bolistin to teach him cooking. He must have learned a skill or two and taught Ms. Rogan how to cook, " Josh revealed.
"Stop it, you two." Rogan blushed.
The children burst into laughter.
"It doesn't matter whether you or your boyfriend made this. We'll take it as you're the one who prepared the breakfast for us, " Alpha said cheekily. "When can we eat? I'm hungry!"
"I'll bring them over. Just give me a minute!" Rogan then signaled Ilali and Jewel to help carry all the dishes to the dining table.
Meanwhile, Carla had woken up from her sleep and was freshening up. She wanted to bring the children over to Dr. Feroma's as soon as possible.
In the meantime, Zayn and Benard had arrived at Dr. Feroma's residence.
Hapilia served the breakfast she made on the wooden table in the courtyard and decorated the site with vases filled with the tiny yellow flowers she picked this morning.
As the car approached, Hapilia put aside her work and was ready to welcome Carla to the villa. But the moment she saw Zayn, her smile vanished right away. Nonetheless, she still greeted him with respect, "Good morning, Mr. Giblo."
"Hi." Zayn came over on Dr. Feroma's instruction.
In fact, Zayn spent the entire night yesterday at Stifling Night, and he only went home and took a shower before coming. He looked a little worn out as he stayed up the whole night.
"Come on in." Hapilia welcomed Zayn and Benard.
Brandy and his men were stationed here for a night, but they parked their car far away to avoid disturbing Dr. Feroma.
"Dr. Feroma will join us for breakfast once he's ready, " Hapilia said while setting up the table.
All of a sudden, a loud thud emerged from the villa.
Zayn and Benard dashed into the house without any hesitation.
"Oh, no!" Hapilia, too, followed them from behind.
When Sam was helping Dr. Feroma to get out of his bed, the latter fell and hit the basin as his legs turned weak.
Sam tried to carry Dr. Feroma but to no avail.
A pair of muscular arms appeared and put Dr. Feroma back in his wheelchair.
Sam tilted his head and noticed it was Zayn. "Mr. Giblo…"
"Are you all right?" Zayn squatted in front of Dr. Feroma and asked.
"I'm fine…" Dr. Feroma replied in a deep frail voice. It took him a few seconds to open his eyes to take a look at Zayn.
His dry lips quivered as if he had something to say, but at that point, he could hardly utter a word.
"Yes, Dr. Feroma?" Tears welled up in Hapilia's eyes as she tried to understand what he was trying to express. "All right. I'll give Carla a call right now."
She then turned to Sam and said, "Call Carla and get her to come as soon as possible. Dr. Feroma can't hold it any longer."
"Okay. Got it." Sam immediately looked for his phone.
"I'll do it." Zayn then instructed Benard to make the call instead.
