Francis got his mother checked by the physician but he could not tell him what the problem was. They told him that his mother was suffering from a disease that they didn't know about and that they couldn't help him. He worked extra hard in the following days to get enough money to get her checked by better physicians.
He went to the forbidden forest and gathered herbs to make medicines for her but it didn't help her. It felt like her situation kept getting worse every day and that he might lose her. His sister stayed home with her and did her best to take care care of their mother. Nayla used her magic in the shadows to worsen her situation so Francis would have no choice but to go into the arms of Alexander. She did her best to make sure that Francis didn't stop thinking about Alexander.
