Sarah's gaze looked again to the second floor, the expression on her face was confused. She could understand when Michael didn't come to breakfast because maybe he was still tired. However, not only did he not come down for lunch, he also didn't open the door when the kids knocked on it?
"You boys just eat first!" said Sarah turned to her two kids who were sitting pretty in their place, then immediately stood up and headed to the second floor.
Raphael and Gabriel looked at each other when they saw their Mommy walking towards the stairs. It was the first time their Mommy had finally stepped on those stairs. As if they could read each other's minds, the two kids immediately got out of their seats and ran after Sarah.
It seemed like something interesting would happen if they followed Sarah.
Sarah was a little surprised when she saw her kids following her to the second floor, before finally turning her head again to look at the furniture there. Nothing is different. Everything is still the same as it was six years ago.
Sarah then walked towards one of the doors there, it was the main bedroom door in this apartment.
"Oh? Mommy knows uncle's room!" Gabriel said in a slightly disappointed tone.
Since it's his mommy's first time on this floor, he wants to show his mommy where Uncle Michael's room is because there are three other rooms on this floor.
However, it turns out that Mommy already knows uncle's room.
"Isn't this Mommy's first time here?" asked Raphael in confusion.
Sarah's hand that had been raised to knock on the bedroom door immediately stopped in midair when she heard the words of her two sons.
Of course she knows! This is not the first time he has come here.
However, Sarah wouldn't tell her kids about it because they would be asking other questions that would be difficult for her to answer.
"Really? Mommy just guessed it," said Sarah pretending to be surprised.
Both of them looked at Sarah in awe, as usual their Mommy was so smart! She could even tell where Uncle Michael's room was just by looking at it!
"Then should we call Uncle Michael together?" Sarah asked, trying to use her kids.
She had originally wanted to check on Michael's condition alone, but when she thought about it one more time, it seemed like it was going to be awkward. So having the kids here could help her make an excuse so Michael wouldn't know she was actually looking for him.
They both nodded and their tiny hands lifted and started knocking on the door.
"Uncle… knock… knock… uncle…"
Hearing no sign of Michael answering them, the two then put their ears to the door, trying to hear if there was any sound in the room.
"Uncle didn't answer, Mommy!" said Gabriel, turning to Sarah sadly. "Is uncle not inside?" he continued wondering.
"No, uncle hasn't come down," said Raphael shaking his head.
When Michael didn't come down for breakfast, he just played near the stairs to wait for Michael. Well… they hadn't seen each other in a long time, and he missed him a bit.
It's just a little bit, not a lot!
Sarah's brow furrowed when she heard what her sons just said. Then she raised her hand again and knocked on the door.
"Michael… Michael…" Sarah called from a low tone, until she finally screamed a little. It's possible that Michael was using the headset and not hearing it, right?
However, Sarah immediately stopped when no sign of sound could be heard in the room. Had Michael actually gone out in the morning before they all got up so the kids wouldn't see him?
Nah, Sarah shook her head. That seems impossible.
Sarah's hand, which had been knocking on the door, immediately moved to hold the doorknob of the room. she then turned it around. If Michael had been out, the room shouldn't have been locked.

The door to the room opens.
"Whoa!" cried the Twins in unison when they saw the room. It was their first time seeing the room, and it turned out that it was bigger than theirs. Without waiting any longer, the two immediately went inside to have a look.
Meanwhile Sarah just stood stunned in front of the bedroom door and did not dare to move her foot to step inside.
The atmosphere in the room was exactly the same as the last time she had seen it. The dressing table she used frequently was even still there.
Sarah swallowed her own saliva and surveyed the room where she still stood. Memories of six years ago when she lived in this room immediately flashed through her mind like a movie.
There were good memories, and there were also memories she wanted to forget, especially that night. When Michael reveals he had regain his memory.
"Mommy!"
The voices of the twins brought Sarah back to her senses immediately. The two of them were now standing near the bed.
"I called uncle, but uncle did not answer me!" Gabriel said while pointing at something that was on top of the bed covered with the blanket.
From where Sarah could not see Michael, but judging by the size, there was no mistaking it was Michael.
Sarah then immediately moved her foot to go inside and approached her kids.
"Uncle, wake up..." said Raphael who was still patting the blanket with his tiny hands, trying to wake Michael up.
Once near the kids, Sarah immediately turned to Michael. He could see the man's face closing his eyes, indicating that he was asleep.
However, there so many times had Sarah seen Michael's sleeping face, whether they were married or living together six years ago.
It wasn't the look on Michael's face when he was asleep. The man was more like… in pain? And his face looks sweaty even though the air conditioner in this room is currently on.
Without waiting any longer, Sarah immediately put her hand to Michael's forehead to confirm whether her brief diagnosis was correct or not.
Sarah's eyes immediately opened wide when she felt her hand feel like she was holding a bowl of freshly made soup. It was very hot.
Sarah then quickly exited the room and headed downstairs to get her thermometer and stethoscope. She had kept it on purpose just in case her kids got sick.
However, she never expected that she would use that to check on Michael.
As soon as Sarah returned, her eyes were immediately shocked when she saw her kids had climbed into bed and rode Michael like a jockey horse. It seems that because Michael didn't answer them, the two kids decided to bother Michael.
"Raphael! Gabriel!" called Sarah when she saw that.
Hearing that their Mommy had returned, the two kids immediately got off their horses and acted as if nothing had happened.
"Oh! Is uncle sick?" Gabriel asked when he saw his Mommy come with her doctor's kit.
Sarah nodded.
"Yeah, looks like uncle is sick. You shouldn't have done that to uncle," Sarah said as she walked up to them.
She then looked at Michael, who seemed unfazed by what had just happened. Was he so sick that he didn't notice the Twins had just ridden him like a horse?
Sarah then immediately took the thermometer and put it near Michael's ear. Luckily Michael was sleeping on his side so she could use his thermometer more easily.
"He has a fever," Sarah muttered when she saw the number on the thermometer.
"Michael… Michael…" Sarah's hand then immediately moved to touch Michael's arm and shook him to force him to get up. With such a fever, Michael had to take medicine immediately.
Not to mention that he was sweating profusely, making it possible for him to become dehydrated.
"Hmm…" Michael groaned softly.
Seeing Michael who responded, the twins who were sitting on the bed beside Michael immediately helped their Mommy to wake Michael up.
Slowly, Michael opened his eyes then closed them again when he felt a pain in his head.
"Sarah?" Michael muttered under his breath when he could hear the woman's voice.
"Yeah, it's me," Sarah answered softly. "You have a fever. You have to get up, eat and take your medicine," Sarah continued.
"Uncle, are you sick?" Raphael asked then touched Michael's face. "Ouch, it was so hot!" he continued, pulling his hand away.
"Really?" Gabriel asked in disbelief then touched Michael's forehead, or rather near Michael's eyes, causing Michael to close his eyes immediately because suddenly there's a hand that was placed on his eyes.
"Oh! You're right! Uncle is sick!" said Gabriel with a worried face.
Michael immediately turned to his side when he heard the voices of his kids. His face immediately smiled seeing the worried expressions of the two.
"Un… cle… is… fine," Michael said in a hoarse voice.
The two immediately shook their heads when they heard Michael's voice. He's not fine.
"Uncle, you have to get up and listen to Mommy!" said Raphael firmly.
Gabriel nodded. "Right! Otherwise, Mommy will inject you, uncle!" said Gabriel with a face that looks very worried if Michael will be injected!
