Soon after finishing up with their cotton candies, the kids headed back home as it was getting pretty late. But all their great and fun mood was over as they heard the bad news.
George's mother was very sick all of a sudden and had to be taken to the hospital. Her father went with her mother, even if he didn't pay her much attention he still loved her from the bottom of his heart as she was the only one who could calm him down and knock some sense into him sometimes. After all, behind every successful man (in this case a scientist) there's a women.
Millie, their cook was home was to be home with the kids and was the one to tell them the devastating news. But Millie herself had a family to care for and couldn't be always there for the kids so George's father asked their new caretaker Mr. Dew, who was to begin working from next month, to start work early with salary paid in advance.
Today Millie was staying with the kids as Mr. Dew would come tomorrow. The kids were all very sad to hear the news about Mrs. Kirrin, especially George. George just like her father wouldn't obey her mother at times but that didn't make her care and love her mother lesser.
Laurie being the joker amongst them tried to make some jokes to lighten up the air and mood. But not even one of them laughed at his joke. Giving up, he sat back and all of them ate their dinner and supper in silence. After eating seriously the mood was better and Millie even rightly quoted "Men and Kids are always cranky when they're hungry". I myself couldn't agree more.
Soon after they all went to bed, George who prayed once in a blue moon, that night prayed her most hearty and honest prayer.
The next morning they were woken up by Millie as she was going back home. Even the weather was so depressing as it started pouring outside. Mr. Dew was already there when they went down to breakfast.
"Gute Morgen, sorry Good Morning! So, you all are the kids who I am gonna take care of ...huh ?...Well, nice to meet you all and I am really sorry to hear about your mother George. Hope she gets well real soon." He said with a small smile.
George instantly liked him, as he said *George* not *Georgina*. And she grinned at him happily while the other three chuckled and giggled.
"Good Morning Mr. Dew, yes we are the kids you will take care of ....thanks a lot for your well wishes! " George said, still grinning.
"Millie, can you please show me my room so that I could arrange my things there," Mr. Dew said.
"Oh sure, follow me," Millie said and with a swift smile, they both left the room.
"So , George you like him ?" Laurie said copying Mr. Dew's heavy British Accent.
They all laughed and George said " Certainly Mr. Laurie" and then again they were in hysterics of laughter.
But little did they know that some people act like they are trying to help you.
