CHAPTER CCX: PAIN

Angela’s POV

“Mama, are you crying?” I was surprised when Mary and Hercules suddenly appeared in front of me. I quickly wiped the tears in my eyes and looked at them. “W-Why are you still awake? It’s half past ten in the evening now and you still have classes tomorrow, right?” 

They both sat on the chairs beside mine. “Mama, is papa going here tomorrow?” Mary suddenly asked. It felt like my chest tightened just by hearing his name. I forced a smile and looked at them. “Papa, won’t go here anymore.” 

It was obvious that they were both surprised because of what I said.  “He’s not coming back here anymore? But why, mama?” Asked Hercules.

“H-He’s now busy with their company so he won’t be going here more often anymore…” 

Mary suddenly started to cry. “I want to see papa… I want to play with him… I want to still play with his hair…” she kept on sobbing as if she wouldn’t stop so I pulled her close to me and hugged her.
