Little Ethan had caught a cold, and by dinnertime, it had worsened, with him continuing to cough.
Lila Campbell had two night scenes to film, so she let Harton Clark take the children back to the hotel first, leaving Anisa Cooper to accompany her.
By the time she finished filming, it was past eleven o'clock. When she returned, Ethan was sitting on the bed with his eyes red and swollen.
Harton was wiping his face with a washed towel.
"Mom." Ethan brightened up a little when he saw Lila, reaching out for her to hug him.
Lila walked to Ethan's bedside and asked, "Has it gotten worse?"
"No," Harton gently replied, "It's actually a bit better than at dinnertime, and he's not coughing as much anymore. He just woke up from a nap, but because his nose was stuffy, he cried, wanting you."
Lila looked at the pitiful child on the bed.
Ethan's little face was flushed, his eyes red.
"Wait for me to wash my hands," Lila said.
Ethan nodded.
