Chapter 380- Nothing Is Cold!
Marissa might be facing difficulty in handling the chaos but with Rafael back to their lives, she was sure that she could bring back all the happiness that her family deserved.
Sitting on the bed, her back was leaned to the hardboard with a pillow clutched to her chest. Beside her, Rafael was fast asleep with the kids lying close to him.
They all were in deep sleep as if they had been walking for the past few days and now wanted to rest. Along with his kids, Rafael was sleeping like a small child whose mommy went missing but now he was back in her warm embrace.
For a moment, Marissa’s heart went out to that six-year-old kid who could never get a chance to meet his mom again. Who was kept thirsty and hungry for so many days so that he could accept that evil woman as his mom.
The torture his body endured, was a very harrowing experience and she wished to God, that no child would ever have to go through it.
Her kids took it well but for Nina, they had to come up with an excuse that she had to leave Kanderton city for some urgent business trip. They couldn’t tell the kids, that their granny was a murderer who destroyed several lives because of her ego and now was in the police station.
None of the kids seemed convinced but they didn’t remark. Right now, they were too happy with Rafael’s surprised return to their lives.
Abi was sad for her Lion King character who could never get back his father in the movie. She considered herself lucky.
Marissa jumped a little when a rough hand touched her arm gently. Rafael was awake and was looking at her with half-closed eyes, "Why are you not sleeping?" he asked her in a whisper.
