"My pleasure." Jennifer stood up with the vial in her hand, "Do let me know if you feel anything wrong."
"I will."
Then Darcie and Rowan went upstairs.
Ivan chatted with his mom downstairs for a bit and comforted her.
Aubree gave Darcie more credit after this time. She didn't resist treatment anymore and no longer questioned her ability because of her young age.
Darcie went back to her bedroom and took off her mask. Now she was Jennifer.
She finally could rest and let her face have a break.
Jennifer stood in front of her bed. She missed her children. They were in the same house but they had to pretend to be strangers. It was so heartbreaking that she might not be able to hold on in a few days.
Was there a way to let her see Alfie and Diana, as a mother, and have a few words with them, or give them a hug?
Suddenly a knocking sound came from behind.
Jennifer soon became alerted, stopped thinking and put her mask back on. She regained composure in a second and then opened the door.
Surprisingly, it was Ivan standing outside.
He stared at her gently and stood casually with one hand holding the door frame, eyeing her affectionately.
Jennifer then turned back around to her room.
Ivan walked behind, shut the door, and locked it.
She removed the mask again as she really needed some air and her ears ached from having the mask on all day.
Ivan gently held her from behind by her waist the second she put down the mask, "Thank you, Jen."
The hot breath was brushing her ears, making her heart slightly race.
She felt that, too.
"I want to see the kids. I want to hold them and talk to them." Jennifer didn't break free as she wanted to ask him something, "Can you do that?"
