Carlo scoffed, "If you can talk like that, I guess you are alright. You freaked us out."
"My babies…" She started to speak When Carlo touched her forehead and frowned. He solemnly said, "You are burning, kid." He looked at Mu Liang and asked, "Didn't you notice?"
Mu Liang was dumbfounded. He didn't notice at all.
Pedro stood up and walked over. He checked her temperature and then her pulse. "The fever came from the pain. How are you feeling?"
"I don't know." Mu Lan answered. Truthfully, the pain was so much that her body felt numb. But her eyes looked for her children. "But my babies-"
Carlo interrupted her, "Relax, they are sleeping. It's time for you to feed them."
Pedro sighed. He gave her the bowl of medicine and said, "Drink it." Seeing Mu Lan's eyes vigilantly looking at the bowl of medicine, he eased her saying, "I put sugar. It tastes sweet."
