The video call connected quickly.

Benjamin and Amelia sat together, looking at the screen.

William was holding Nina.

Before the call came, William had been telling Nina a story.

“Mommy.” Seeing Amelia on the screen, Nina sat up a little.

Amelia immediately noticed Nina’s puffy, red-rimmed eyes.

Her heart clenched. “What’s wrong with Nina?”

William sighed and explained what had happened the day before.

He said, “She’s really scared of not being able to see me now, so she wants me to hold her constantly.

“I’m also worried she might be traumatized.”

Nina sniffled, looking much more subdued and listless than usual.

Amelia’s heart ached for her.

She steered away from the heavy topic of life and death, trying to distract Nina. “Nina, your daddy bought you a ride-on excavator today. We can drive it together later, okay?”

Nina nodded. “Okay.”

Hearing about the excavator lifted Nina’s spirits a little.

He pulled Amelia into a hug and comforted her, “Don’t worry too much. I’ll head over first thing in the morning.”

Benjamin’s executive force was never in doubt.

True to his word, he was at the airport early the next morning.

While he was on his way to the Bennett House, Nina was still glued to William.

William said, “Nina, I am right here. I won’t disappear.

“Why don’t you go play with the other kids? They came to find you.”

Seeing Nina trailing behind him, William was touched, but rationally, he wanted to ease her fears.

To help her feel better, he encouraged her to play with the children who had come over.

The kids visiting today were the same older kids she had played with yesterday.

They hadn’t come empty-handed.

One of the boys had even brought Nina some berries.

He said, “Nina, come on. I’ll take you to catch loaches.”

Then he walked over, took Nina’s little hand, and tried to lead her away to play.

Nina let herself be pulled along but kept looking back at William every few steps.

She said, “Grandpa.”

William said, “I’m here.”

“Grandpa,” she said again.

William replied, “Okay. I know. I won’t die.”
