Chapter 49

I went to Aunt and saw Eugene there too, looking down crying.

"Christian, What did the doctor say?" She asked desperately.

"She said to take care of Sophie and make sure not to give her any stress emotionally and physically." I said.

"Then let's take her back with us when she'll be discharged." Eugene said, glaring at me.

"Look what happened when she lived with you. You couldn't even protect her." He hissed and this hit me like an arrow, it drowned me in the pools of guilt.

"She wasn't with me. She was living with her mother." I said monotonously. I am in no mood for arguments.

"What?" He asked, looking at Aunt.

"Mother? Why was she.. with you?" he asked.

"I'll tell you about it later." She said, looking away. "No, I want to know. Why am I always ignorant of the facts that I should know?" He said sadly. He felt it.<
