Zachary remained silent, taking quick puffs at his cigarette.
“It’s only two months.” Ben tried to console him. “Two months later, when everything has settled down, you can pick up the children. Perhaps Ms. Lindberg will return to your side as well.”
Suddenly, a thought crossed Zachary’s mind. He looked up with his squinted eyes, surprisingly full of hope. “That’s right, there’s still hope!”
He would do all it takes to bring his family back together.
…
The convey drove towards the direction of the airport.
Charlotte was trying to calm Ellie down but to no avail. “Ellie, Daddy will pick you up once you recover. Please stop crying, my good girl!”
She reiterated the sentence again and again. Apart from that, she had no idea what to do…
Subsequently, it was Robbie who managed to stop Ellie from crying. “Ellie, if you continue crying, this will prolong your recovery and consequently the time needed for you to return home.”
It worked like a charm.
Ellie was shocked. She immediately stopped crying and wiped away her tears. “I’ll stop crying. I want to recover and to go home as soon as possible!”
“Ellie, you’re such a good girl!” Charlotte helped her with the streaming tears.
Jamie was grieving in silence. He didn’t dare to cry, nor to make a scene. That might affect Ellie, and break his mom’s heart.
In actual fact, he didn’t want to be apart from his Mommy…
However, when they arrived at the airport, they would inevitably be separated.
Jamie leaped into Charlotte’s arm and now it was his turn to break down. “Mommy, I’ll miss you…”
Charlotte hugged him tightly and patted him on the back. “Don’t worry about it, Jamie. We’ll meet again very soon. You’re a man now, be strong!”
Jamie tried very hard, but he just couldn’t stop himself from crying.
Robbie and Ellie followed suit.
The three of them were crying their hearts out in the airport.
