Rowan answered.Raven sighed. “Good. I don't just want you forgetting anything behind."Why she was anxious? Raven had no idea. It has been two weeks since Rowan got admitted in the hospital, two weeks since she met the Crawfords and a few days to her supposed wedding.

He patted her back with his little hands just the way she does whenever he coughed consistently like that. The little boy hoped that his mother wasn't in such condition because of him.“Are you all right mom?” He queried in a concerned tone. “You could tell me later if you can't now...because y

She wondered what could have happened to make Raven break down so hard. Tiana had always known the lady to be strong, she wasn't the type to let her guard down or try to seek for pity. It had been one of the reasons why she respected Raven so much because you would never tell she was going through so much until you probe her. But seeing her in such sore mood, it was obvious the Crawfords had hurt her so bad.Tiana smacked a fist against her palm, she was so going to rip their hair off whenever she got a hold of any of them.
