"Uncle is everything okay? What's wrong?" I slowly stood up.

"Father, are you okay? Why do you look pale suddenly?" Genevieve asked him with a worried look.

"You saw the way he left this place, right?"

"You should eat your porridge before it goes cold."

"But what about your father? Don't you think you should call your mother or at least call him to find out if he is fine? I am really worried about him," I said, thinking about what could happen to him in that state.
