"Mommy..." Abbie hugged Lily tightly, her face full of panic.
"Mommy, Lulu is okay... But, but... the old man... the old man, in order to save Lulu, hasn't woken up yet."
"What?"
"Mommy, I'm sorry, Abbie didn't like Dad so I deliberately didn't mention him earlier. I thought he would be alright after a while... but now, now... Mommy, Abbie is scared... Will Abbie be without a Dad?"
Little Abbie buried her face in Lily's embrace, her small body still trembling slightly.
She looked so helpless and guilt-ridden that Lily almost felt her heart break as she held him.
"Don't panic, Abbie, what exactly happened? Take your time and tell Mommy clearly," Lily consoled Abbie, while seeking help from David Redington.
"Abbie, tell your Mommy clearly," David said, taking Abbie from Lily's hands, fearing she'd tire from holding the child with her pregnancy.
The little lad shook even more violently when held by his uncle.
