Bab 328: Story's Conclusion PT. 2

Carl was fighting for his life but he only had a chance at life because of Lillian but this was the least of their problems.

Everyone was still shaken up by what had happened but they didn't lose many people. The comfort that had shielded them from the cruelty of this world was gone.

That safety net was taken from beneath their feet and they would soon experience the world just as it was.

Mariam stayed beside her son, holding his hand as she prayed that God spared him.

She thought this was her punishment for killing her husband but she only did what she thought was right.

Mariam held his hand as Mathias and Lillian made sure he was still alive by occasionally checking up on him so they would do what was necessary should he pass away.

And to keep Mariam safe because they knew she wouldn't be able to deal the finishing blow.

That would leave her vulnerable and the risk of the infection spreading within their new stronghold was high.
