The scene of the adults disciplining their children was pure chaos.

Nina, who had been crying in Benjamin’s arms, forgot to continue her tears when she saw the older kids getting spanked. She was scared.
“Daddy, no hit Nina,” she said, afraid she might be next.
She preemptively nuzzled Benjamin’s cheek, trying to ward off any punishment.
Looking at Nina-her little clothes dirty and torn, her face smudged with grime, and red marks and scrapes on her arms and legs-Benjamin couldn’t bring himself to spank her.
He simply said, “I won’t hit you.”
I’ll let your mother do that when we get back.
Given Benjamin’s tendency to tattle, Nina immediately grew wary upon hearing his words.
She sniffled. “Daddy. No tell Mommy!”
Benjamin didn’t reply.
Nina nearly threw a fit on the spot.
In her two and a half days away, Nina hadn’t had a single idle moment.
On the morning she was to leave with William and Benjamin, she even managed to pluck flowers from a funeral wreath and put them in her own hair.
Benjamin was truly at a loss with her.
Wearing the flowers, coughing intermittently, Nina asked Noah if she looked pretty.
After Noah said yes, he copied her and took some flowers, too.
A place like the countryside was simply too challenging to take care of someone like Nina.
Even Benjamin felt overwhelmed trying to manage her there.
So, once Gabriel’s coffin was buried, William and Benjamin didn’t linger. They immediately took Nina and left.
On the road back, Nina’s coughing grew worse.
She’d caught a chill the night before.
Benjamin opted against flying and traveled by car instel.
In the car, Nina coughed while trying to converse with Benjamin.
“Daddy, come play again,” she said, followed by a cough “They nice. Give Nina meat.”
Another cough sounded. “Hold Nina. They hold. Daddy Nina catch fish.”

Every sentence was punctuated by a cough, a sound that kept Benjamin’s brow furrowed the entire time.
He had prepared a thermometer and medicine in the car.
He’d also arranged with a doctor to see Nina as soon as they returned to Averton.
“Nina, here. Have some water,” William said from beside them, his own heart aching at the coughs.
He opened her little dinosaur water bottle and let her take several big gulps.
After drinking, Nina let out a satisfied sigh, as if she’d had something delicious.
She threw the water bottle aside with a plop and opened her mouth to speak again.
Benjamin gently pinched her lips shut.
