Chapter 346: A Possibility
Cassandra Haven did not mind the wear and tear that came with age. As far as she was concerned, those were battle scars that showed that she was resilient.
What was the occasional joint ache and back pain when compared to all of the experiences that she’d had throughout the years? But even so, being older really did have its disadvantages.
If it were up to her, Cassandra would have been searching for eternity if she had to. She never would have given up on trying to find her son and Emily.
But her body was far too old for her to push it past certain limits. And she had finally reached that limit. She wanted to deny it, to keep going. But her body’s protests were too great for her to keep ignoring them.
Looking over at Jane, she realized that the other woman, even if she was staying quiet about it. Was also having the same difficulties as Cassandra.
"We have to head back,"Cassandra called out. Jane put her binoculars on her lap and turnedto Cassandra.
"We can’t just give up. Cassie,we have to keep looking. They are out there. They need us," Her friend said. The determination in her voice was admirable.
But there was no disguising the way her shoulders slumped and how pale she looked. And that was before taking in the goose flesh over her skin. Jane was tired and she was cold. In fact, Cassandra would wager that the only thing keeping her upright was maternal love.
Without it, she would have slumped over and passed out long ago. Reaching out for her friend, Cassandra gave her hand a gentle pat. Then she resumed trying to talk sense into her.
