Bab 149: Sometimes

"Daddy!!!" Alice jumped into her father's arms as soon as Alexander walked through the door. "How is Azy? Is he alright now?" 

Alexander patted his daughter's head gently before smiling and answering her. "Yes, he's doing good now." 

Elle breathed out in relief when the door was pushed open again. Seeing Sebastian, Elle moved to approach him. He looked a little disheveled. Though his expression was still stony, Elle could somehow feel that the entire night had been really rough on him, mostly perhaps, mentally. 

"Your mom has to stay back with them so she won't be back here yet." Alexander explained to his kids. And like last night, the kids simply nodded in understanding. Elle was still amazed at how mature and understanding the twins were about everything that was going on. It was as though this was no longer new to them.

Elle's heart ached for the poor boy at the realization that Azy must be going through that more often than she had imagined.
