Let Me Stay The Night

After hanging up the phone, Christina walked up to them and asked, “Camila, Lucas, Mommy is going to take you two to a different place first, okay?”

She wanted to communicate with the kids beforehand so that they would not react strongly later on.

“What is that place?” Camila looked at Christina curiously with her eyes wide.

“Is it fun?” Lucas asked.

“Yeah. We’re going to meet a lady and have a little chat with her,” Christina said.

Camila tilted her head and gave it some thought before turning toward Lucas.

The two kids exchanged glances before arriving at a consensus.

“Okay,” Lucas said on behalf of them both.

Christina’s lips curled into a smile when she saw that the kids had agreed to it. She then got the three of them out of bed and had them get changed.

After having breakfast, Nathaniel drove Christina and the two kids over to the psychology clinic.

“Relax. I didn’t bring you two here to get an injection. We’re just going to meet a pretty lady and have at little chat with her,” Christina explained when she noticed the look of fear on their faces.

“Don’t be scared, Camila. I will keep you company,” Nathaniel said while picking Camila up.

“Head on in with the kids, Nathaniel,” Christina said.

“All right.”

Christina made her way to an empty corner and took a deep breath before answering the call. “Hey, Grandma.”
