85 Chapter 77 - Handprin (2/2)

Kasumi gulped visibly and put on a depressed look, ”Father, unfortunately, it seems that...”

She didn't have any words for what she was saying, irritating her father.

”Well, spit it out!”

Kasumi trembled and cried, ”Mother is missing!”

Her father stood up from his desk, ”What?”

Kasumi pointed out the door, ”You must see for yourself! Send the dogs! Mother is not there, or anywhere. I can't find her!”

Kasumi began to cry as Hanae patted her back, on the brink of tears.

Her father stood up and stormed out of the room, ”Where could have your mother have gone?”

Kasumi and Hanae followed their father as they headed towards their mother's luxurious room. They began to cry like babies, pleading their father to find their mother. Their cries began to annoy their father, making him want to get this over with so that they would shut up.

Their father opened the door, and they expected him to storm straight out to get the dogs, but instead their father looked them straight in the eye, ”Do you think I enjoy your joking?”

Kasumi raised an eyebrow as Hanae bit her teeth.

”What do you mean? Joking? Mother's disappearance isn't a laughing matter!”

Their father was fuming by the end of her sentence. And in all of his anger and annoyance, he raised his hand to shut the squeaky mouth in front of him.

When he laid his hand on Kasumi, she was shocked. He never slapped her! NEVER!

She coughed and held her face with her hand. Hanae saw the blooming handprint on her sister's cheek and screamed, ”Why father? Why?”

Her father screamed, ”Your joke has gone for far too long! Your mother is right on her bed, sleeping like a baby!”

Hanae looked around her father's shoulder as she comforted her sister. She gasped as she saw her perfectly fine mother laying down on the clean sheets.
