Pete blushed. "No, no, it's fine, Mommy."
Nora chuckled softly and said, "Cherry's a big girl now."
Pete ran away in a hurry after Nora let go of him.
He stood outside the door to the bedroom and listened to the movements inside. The sound of running water, the sound of someone in the bath, and the sound of Mommy walking around in slippers after she was done bathing.
After confirming that Mommy was dressed, he opened the door and saw her lying on the bed. With her eyes closed, she said, "Mommy has a very important operation in two days, Cherry. I need a crazy amount of sleep for the next few days, so I'll go to bed first, alright?"
"… Okay, Mommy."
His sister had told him before that Mommy had poor health and that her hobby was sleeping. She was usually either asleep or dealing with troublesome issues so that she could sleep.
Therefore, he mustn't disturb Mommy.
