[4 days before Dominic's inauguration.]
"Daddy? Is Mommy okay?"
Dominic slowly turned his head to the little guy beside him in the backseat. Sebastian's doe eyes gleamed with curiosity, waiting for his answer in anticipation. His son didn't look for Heaven when he picked him up from his parent's home until now when they were heading to another rest house of the family.
"Of course." Dominic smiled, ruffling Sebastian's hair gently. "Why wouldn't she be okay?"
"Then why didn't she come with you?" The little master's brows rose curiously. "She told me when she dropped us off that she would pick us up. It's unlike her that she's not here."
Dominic kept his lips drawn into a thin line. Before coming to pick up his family to a safer place, he already thought of many excuses to tell his son. However, as he was thinking of saying those white lies to Sebastian, he couldn't help but think his son was smart.
