Avery immediately urged her children to eat, but Ivy spotted her reddened eyes and the exhaustion on her face that she could not hide. "Mom, you've been awake this whole time, haven't you? You need to take care of yourself."

Robert and Ivy instantly lost their appetites. Avery placed some food onto their plates. "Eat up. Don't waste food."
