He found Scarlet giving Justin a bath in their bathroom.
"I came as quickly as I could." He said hurriedly as he knelt down beside the bathtub. "What's wrong with him?"
"He has a cough and a fever. Apparently its going around in school. Can you finish up with his bath while I make some porridge for him?"
Esong took hold of Justin immediately and wrapped him in a towel.
Justin whimpered, and Esong hugged him, cradling him to his broad chest as one would an infant.
"Sorry buddy." he said softly.
Walking slowly, he went to the bedroom and dressed Justin up first. After that, he went to the kitchen and found Scarlet pouring porridge in a bowl.
"He is about to sleep off." he told her.
Justin was dozing in Esong's arms. Scarlet had already given him a pill to relieve his fever and some cough syrup mixed with crystal water.
"He needs to eat something." she said with a frown.
