Twenty days elapsed and everything was finally sorted out in H City.
Danrique called Charlotte and asked her to go back to Erihal.
The children were reluctant to be separated.
Robbie had earlier on chosen to go follow Charlotte while Jamie and Ellie, Zachary, but since Ellie needed someone to take care of her, she would have to go back to Erihal with Charlotte. This meant Jamie would be left alone with Zachary.
When the time came for Jamie to say goodbye to them, the boy broke down crying.
At first, Ellie told herself that she must stay strong and not cry, but when she saw Jamie crying his heart out, she let rip.
Robbie wanted to comfort them, but he ended up crying himself too.
Charlotte's heart ached when she saw the three children crying. She wanted her children to stay together forever, but some of the things were out of her control.
“Daddy!” Robbie cried out.
Charlotte trailed the boy's gaze and saw Zachary walking over. He looked thinner than usual in his black shirt. A smile lit up on his tired face when he saw the children.
He hastened his steps and opened his arms wide as the kids went running toward him. “Daddy!”
Zachary bent down and hugged them. He was upset seeing them cry, yet he smiled and assured them, “Come on, don't cry. We'll be seeing each other again very soon.”
“When are you coming to pick me up, Daddy?” Ellie asked.
“In two months' time,” Zachary replied, drying her tears, “You've gotten a lot better, but you'll need more time to fully recover. I'll go over and see you in Erihal in two months, is that okay?”
“What about me? Can I go to Erihal too?” Jamie asked impatiently.
“Of course you can, Jamie.”
“Then does that mean I will get to see Mommy, Robbie, and Ellie again after two months?”
Jamie looked at Zachary in anticipation as he wiped away his tears.
“Yes, Jamie. You'll get to see them whenever you want. I'll bring you to Erihal to look for Mommy when you miss her.”
