Henry was momentarily taken aback, then looked towards Emily, whose face was flushed with shyness, and said with a wry smile, "Yes, that's correct. I am indeed your son-in-law, or to be more precise, the son-in-law of both your daughters."
Amber was stunned, her mouth agape in disbelief, "You and Fatima are also in that kind of relationship?"
Henry nodded.
Fortunately, Amber didn't hold any feudalistic views and didn't comment too much on the unique relationship between them.
After a long separation, the emotional reunion between mother and daughter quickly warmed their hearts as they embraced and wept together.
At Henry's urging, the group left the underground structure and found a safe location as previously arranged with Fatima.
Upon entering, the mother and daughter embraced and cried again.
"How did your father die?" Amber, drying her tears, asked Emily.
