Nyla didn't respond. She simply took Mason's hand and walked away.

"He'll stay home with me today. Buddy, go wash your hands and change your clothes," Nyla said.

Mason nodded and ran upstairs.

Lydia didn't press further but mentioned, "Mr. Sumner called earlier to check if you'd gotten home. I told him you hadn't returned yet. Maybe you should call him back?"
