Chapter 72 - For her family (2/2)
”Well, if your instinct is so good then why are you not at ease if you knew they will be back safely? Unless...”
”There's no such a thing. It's not them. It's us. I'm not sure what to do. What would i choose? To protect you guys or the babies? Can i protect all of us? Will Tristan be able to see me once he's back? I don't have these answers with me.” Alicia spills out her deepest concern when she saw Mrs Luke looks pale. Assuming Tristan and others will be in danger. It wasn't them who are in danger. But it was on her side. She's been having these weird feeling like something ugly ought to happen. Which is why she's been trying to think of a way. It wasn't her nature to back away from these threats. If it wasn't because her body has a limit and it might danger her babies, she will fight them head on. It won't be much a problem. That is only 'if'. She sighed heavily.
”Maybe the answers are with us. Have you forgotten about us?” This time it was Mr Luke who spoke out. He didn't mean to overhear his wife and daughter in law conversation. But hearing such concern from her daughter in law he had to interfere. Not only him. But it seems her other families also came forward.
Alicia look up only to see her whole family is there. Her father in law, her parents and also Ralph's wife.
Ralph's wife hold her hand and flick her forehead.
”Did you think i am so fragile? You don't have to shoulder everything on your shoulder. You're not alone anymore. Don't you remember? You have us now.”
”That's true. We're not just your ordinary parents Alicia. We couldn't have brought up your brother the one who's known to be Satan in their group.” her mother also took her in her embrace. Let the little girl whom she once took as her adopter daughter and now soon to be mother cuddles in her arm. It breaks her heart when she learn the truth from Ralph about her life. Even though she was under their eyes but they are still ignorance about what she experience. Now is the time when her little girl needs her. And she will do everything she can to protect her in the midst of danger.
Alicia started sobbing once she's in her mother's arm. Like a little kid despite her big belly, it still can't stop her from cuddling her mother.
”You have us now, baby. Leave the rest of the danger to us.” Her father came and stroke her hair softly. She nodded and smiles with tears still flowing from her eyes.
”Well then, where shall we start?” Tristan's mother clapped her hand excitedly as if it was something she's been dreading to do.
Not long, they start planning to counter any danger that might happen any time soon. Time is running out and they have to do everything fast. Thank goodness Tristan bought the whole neighborhood. It became a perfect place to give those intruders a surprise.
