Re: AHHHHHH!!!
I have so many different ideas for why he was sick. However, since this was told from Alstromeria's POV, I decided it's better left ambiguous. She doesn't know. Kids don't know, they don't care. She just cares that Dad's sick.
So she goes to the closest grown-up she can trust - since he has to be a wizard!
Thank you so much for your comment! I've never been rec'd or commented like this before. Seriously, it really means the world to me.
