On the journey home, Ben pretended to be relaxed and consoled Zachary, “Didn’t Raina say that you’re in good health? Looks like it was just a scare.”

With his head lowered, Zachary didn’t reply. Instead, he had a grim expression on his face.

“Where exactly do you feel the discomfort? Do you have a headache?” Ben was unsettled when he noticed Zachary’s expression. “We should have gotten Dr. Felch to give you a check-up.”

Zachary remained silent.

Despite being worried, Ben didn’t dare enquire further.

“Robbie! Ellie!” Jamie mumbled in his sleep. “Mommy…”

Having just been separated, he had started to miss everyone else.

 

As Zachary stroked Jamie’s head, a smile broke out on his face. He recalled how he confidently promised Jamie that he would bring Charlotte back and resolved to keep his word.
