What took you so long?

Dragging Uncle Thomas towards the couch, Silvia wiped her tears away and said," Look how red your hands have turned, I'll get some ice for you." Before rushing towards the kitchen.

George kept in coughing vigorously but his gaze never left Silvia. He saw her running back from the kitchen to uncle Thomas with an ice pack and a glass of water.

Passing the glass to uncle Thomas, Silvia said," Drink." Before pressing the ice pack on his other hand.

Placing the glass down, uncle Thomas said," I am fine honey." before taking the ice pack from Silvia's hand and tossing it on the table.

Giving her a hug, Uncle Thomas said," Don't worry about anything, you know that your dad is never going to let anyone harm you right?"

Wrapping her arms around his waist, Silvia nodded her head before bursting into tears.

She had no idea how to react and what to feel. Her brain felt numb and muddleheaded. 

" Mom, dad." Jeren said before rushing towards them.
