Chapter 280- You Did It, My Friend!
"Their story just got started. Then what went wrong, Joseph?" Sophie must have asked Joseph this question maybe for the umpteenth time.
A question that Joseph didn’t know how to answer.
It had been three days since Marissa had a nervous breakdown. She hadn’t gotten back her consciousness.
Sophie, who always preferred to stay with the kids, was now staying in the hospital corridors. Thankfully Nina knew how to keep the kids’ focus on their granny. This is what she knew best. To keep everyone busy around her.
Though kids called Sophie repeatedly to ask about their mom, Emily, and Nina were taking great care of them.
Sitting on the cold floor of the hospital corridor, Sophie’s face was leaning against Joseph’s shoulder.
The poor man was by her side all this time. He even begged her to sit on a bench, yet Sophie preferred the floor.
This was what she had been doing since childhood whenever she was too scared of the ghosts. Marissa wasn’t her childhood buddy, but they still got along pretty well.
Now that same bubbly, chirpy, full of life girl was on the hospital bed.
"Love is scary. Who said it was sweet? It’s scary, Joseph," Joseph was also heartbroken. Rafael had been his childhood buddy and always helped him in such secret ways that Joseph came to know later about them.
Most of the time that help was a financial one. And now Joseph seemed lost without him. The good thing that was common between them was, they didn’t have any siblings. However, they became each other’s siblings.
