章 53: I hope

Nina didn't calm down as she cried so much until she fell asleep. The couple stayed with her, feeling sorry that they couldn't do anything but stay with her throughout this process. 

"I feel horrible," Allison expressed quietly while stroking Nina's hair. "She seems very scared."

Charles pressed his lips, staring at Nina apologetically. "There's nothing we can do."

The couple looked at each other and sighed. 

If the choice was theirs, they would happily take care of the two girls. However, they knew deep in their hearts that no matter how they loved Nina, they had no right because they weren't her real parents. They could only hope Jessa and Nina would get along, just like how Jessa and Penny got along very well.
