[Bonus chapter]Call with the twins

Lara and Nate called soon after breakfast. Samantha left the phone on speakers, and the twins ran to her to hear about their mommy. And check whether the dad was alive enough to protect their mommy.

«Mommy! Mommy!» Lara and Nate heard.

«What are you doing?» asked Jaden.

«Do you have enough food?» added his sister.

«Hey, you two!» Lara said with a warning tone.

«How are you daad?» said Jaden, clearly just because his mommy wanted him to. They hadn't heard any answer from their mommy yet but were already forced to talk with Nate.

«Are you feeding my mommy, daddy?» asked Scarlet. She, on the other hand, was actually interested.

Nate chuckled, and the parents could see the kids' questioning faces even though the phone. They could imagine them perfectly.

«Am I feeding you good food, Lara?» he asked.

«Sure!»

«Oh, good. You're doing well, daddy. My mommy is skinny and needs more food.»
