    Inside the hospital.

    Second was rushed into the emergency room.

    It felt like one thing after another.

    Scarlett sat on the bench outside the doorb, /bsilent. She appeared calm, but her trembling hands betrayed her true feelings.

    Hugo noticed and walked over to sit beside her, cing his hand gently on her slightly shaking one.

    Scarlett looked up, meeting his gaze.

    “Second will be okay,” Hugo reassured her.

    She managed a small smile, “Yeah, I know.”

    Nearby, Fourth, with teary eyes, looked at First and asked, “Brother, Second will be alright, bwon’t /bhe?”

    First snapped back to reality and assured her, b“/bOf course not. Second is bso /bstrong, he’ll be just fine!”

    Hearing this, Fourth felt a surge of hope and silently prayed that nothing would happen to her second brother.

    Just thenb, /bthe door opened.

    The doctor came out.

    Seeing the doctor, they all stood up and hurried over.

    “Doctor, how is my child?” Hugo asked immediately.

    The doctor looked at Hugo, removing his mask. “The child’s left arm has a fracture. I checked his arm and found several abrasions. Judging by the healing, it’s been a few days. He’s in shock now. If you had brought him in anyterb, /bbit /bbcould /b

    have been life–threatening!”

    Hearing this, Hugo felt a jolt in his heart. He looked at the doctor and asked, “A fractureb?/bb” /b

    “Yes, it seems to have been at least two or three days. I can’t imagine how a child endured it. But don’t worry, byou /bbrought

    Though Hugo wasn’t sure what had happened, hearing that Second would be okay finally put his mind at ease.

    b“/bThank you for your help!” Hugo said.

    “No need to thank me, Mr. Hodges. If you need anything, just let me know!” the doctor replied.

    For the past couple of days, all her attention had been on Fourth, and she had forgotten about Second’s fall…

    At that moment, Hugo turned his gaze toward Scarlett, who had just turned around herself.

    It was clear that Scarlett was feeling guilty.

    Hugo looked at First.

    First spoke up, “When we were searching for Fourth at the base of the mountain, Second identally fell whileing

    down from a cave… He kept saying he was fine. We were so focused on finding Fourth that we didn’t think much of it. We

    didn’t expect this to happen.”

    bFirst /bwas also feeling a heavy sense of guilt.

    When they found Fourth, they should have had a doctor thoroughly check Second, but they all forgot. He even dragged

    Second around, looking for that man.

    A fracture… How did Second endure it?

    As First was lost in thought, Fourth began to sob quietly beside him, “No wonder Second kept calling my name while he

    was unconscious. It was because of me…”

    Listening to Fourth’s cries, Hugo didn’t know what to say. He simply reached out to gently stroke her head and pulled her

    closer into his embrace.

    Fourth clung to Hugo, crying even harder.

    Hugo turned to look at Scarlett, who had her back to him. He couldn’t see her expression or gauge her emotions, but he

    knew she was ming herself.

    At that moment, Hugo felt even more deeply how difficult things were for Scarlett.

    Three kids, three hearts to care for–this was how Scarlett had always managed….

    His arm was already in a bcast/b, and seeing such a small child wrapped up bso /btightly was truly heart–wrenching.

    Scarlett and Fourth stayed on either side of Second. Fourth’s eyes were red as she asionally adjusted Second’s

    nket and talked to him, making the scene even more touching.

    Scarlett watched Second as well. Even though she knew everything was fine now, she bcouldn’t /bshake the fear in her heart.

    It was at this moment that Scarlett suddenly realized she hadn’t really taken the time to care for First and Second in a long

    while.

    When did it all begin? Perhaps from the moment they became aware of the world around them…

    Scarlett thought she was apetent mother, but now she realized she might not even pass as adequate.

    With this thought, a hint of self–mockery flickered in her eyes.

    She stayed by Second’s side, as time ticked by.

    First and Hugo also remained, silently waiting until Second woke up.

    As soon as Second’s eyes twitched, Fourth immediately spoke up, “Second brother…”

    Hearing Fourth’s voice, everyone turned to look, and Second slowly opened his eyes.

    “Second brother, you’re awake?” Fourth said excitedly.

    Scarlett watched Second, a glimmer of hope in her eyes,

    “Second!” she leaned in and whispered softly.

    Second opened his eyesb, /bstill a bit dazed as he saw Scarlett. “Scarlett, Fourth… did you find Fourth?”

    Hearing bthis/bb, /bFourth’s nose tingled, and tears began to fall again. “Second brother… I’m here, I’m right here!”

    Hearing Fourth’s voice, Second turned his head. When he saw her, his eyes narrowed slightly. “Fourth…”

    Hearing this, Fourth held back her words and could only sob quietly on the side.

    Second shook his head. “No, Scarlett, don’t worry. I’m fine, just a bit tired. A nap will do the trick.”

    Second was always like this, never wanting anyone to worry no matter what.

    Knowing this, Scarlett felt even more heartache for him.

    “Second, if you’re not feeling well, make sure to tell Scarlett!” Scarlett said, looking at him with concern.

    Second nodded, “Yeah, I know. Don’t worry, Scarlett. I’ll speak up if I’m not feeling well…”

    Hugo watched from the side, his eyes filled with a hint of sadness.

    He used to think Second was just quiet. Unlike First, who was straightforward, or bFourth/bb, /bwho was good at bbeing /b
