339 Peace

"What's wrong mom?" asked Torin full of concern from another line. His mom called him sobbing so hard that he could not understand her well.

"Mom calm down. What happened? Where are you?" he asked as he  started to worry Lyra who was preparing dinner walked towards her husband.

"What's wrong?" she asked as soon as she saw him ending the call. "I have to go to the hospital. Mom is there… My dad… He… he is in a critical condition and he is asking for me." said Torin as he walked to the door.

"I will go with you. Give me the car key. I'll drive," instructed Lyra because she didn't want to allow Torin to drive in this disoriented state.

While they were inside the car, Lyra grabbed Torin's hand  and gently squeezed it as she drove. She was not good with comforting words so she held Torin's hand along the way.
