''You were sick for a week. Maybe your cold will disappear soon,'' Sublimino said to his mother. Concern filled his eyes as he stood by her bed. Sublimino viewed his mother sneezing uncontrollably. *Perhaps you will never get better.* He saw the hallway for a few moments.

''Dad isn't here,'' Sublimino said after he faced his mother.

''Your father is running errands now.''

''Oh,'' Sublimino said. He began to frown at his mother. ''I'm curious. Do you have any other symptoms?''

''My throat is a little sore. I also have a mild headache. The headache isn't due to you forgetting to use your indoor voice this time,'' Sublimino's mother said. She saw a sudden scowl on Sublimino's face.

''INDOOR VOICE? I ALWAYS USE MY INDOOR VOICE!'' Sublimino shouted.

The mother began to roll her eyes.

''Do you need anything?'' Sublimino asked in a gentle tone. He watched as his mother smiled and shook her head. ''Are you going to rest now?'' Sublimino viewed her nodding. His eyes remained on her while she stretched. *Mom has the right idea* he thought after she fell asleep.

Sublimino entered his bedroom. After falling on his bed, he frowned. Worry filled his eyes. *Perhaps my mother will never get better.*
Sublimino fell asleep. He woke up after he heard his mother's voice.

''I'M STARVING!''

A sudden headache was why Sublimino winced. He groaned. *Mom must be better. I do wonder when she will be sick again.*
