q“Sure. I'll bring this up with her and come back tomorrow.” Zachary patted their heads and looked at Francesca. “Dr. Felch, I'll come back tomorrow for another session of treatment.”
“Tomorrow?” Francesca wanted to protest, but when she noticed the look Zachary was giving her, she swallowed her words reluctantly.
“Uncle Zachary, will you take Aunt Charlotte, Robbie, and Ellie here tomorrow?” Alpha asked seriously. “You won't leave after tomorrow, right?”
“Uncle Zachary, take Fifi here with you as well. It's been a while since I saw it. I wonder if it's feeling all better now,” Beta quickly added. “Oh, and bring Mrs. Rawlston with you too. I miss her hot cross bunnies.”
“Oh, if that is the case, then can you stay here for the night, Robbie?” Gamma asked.
“Um...”
“I'm going back to Erihal on the day after tomorrow,” Danrique quashed the kids' hopes and dreams. “All of you and your mother are coming with me.”
“No! I never said I'm going with you!” Francesca wouldn't stand for it. “I am not leaving, and so are the kids!”
“Francesca Felch!” Danrique frowned at her, his patience finally running out.
“Don't glare at me like that! I said I am not leaving and that is—”
“Alright, alright.” Zachary stepped in as the mediator once more. “We'll talk about this together. I'll bring Charlotte and the kids with me tomorrow.”
It was a simple suggestion, but it relieved the tension and brought everyone closer. The argument was about to turn into a full-blown crisis, but Zachary turned it into a small argument.
“Very well then,” Danrique agreed for once. “We shall meet tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.” Zachary smiled at him, and he shot Francesca a look that said, Do not worry. I will not leave you alone.
“Don't forget to bring Aunt Charlotte and your kids here tomorrow, Uncle Zachary.”
