"Your lover and her family are here to see you."

She walked into her room afterwards. Henry rushed to the door, opened it and bowed in front of the Clifford's.

"Greetings," he greeted.

He raised his head and sighted Mercy, and a drop of tears quickly escaped his left eyes. He opened the door more widely and jumped into Mercy's arms in a warm embrace. He had missed her so much, and seeing her was a relieve.

"Let's go inside," he ushered them into the house and they didn't reject the offer to go inside. They all walked into the house and found somewhere comfortable to sit respectively.

"How are you mom?" Henry asked, taking his sit close to Mercy.

He heard Mercy's voice, even befire opening the door completely to reveal her face. "Of course you can. You might want to meet your grand son," Henry replied. He opened the door more widely and locked it after Mercy walked in. "I am worthy to be informed properly, and also when my permission is granted, before you bring strangers into my room," Dylan nagged. Henry gulped down saliva.

Give them time to come out of it, or else if you try to force things on, then the outcome would definitely not be nice," Henry said. Mercy found tears dropping down freely from her eyes against her wish. Henry helped her wipe the tears with the back of his palm. He cut and rolled the wheat with his fork, dipped it in his soup, and fed Mercy. A smile appeared on her face, and she picked up her fork.Henry was glad that he was able to make her smile again.

She tried to turn the handle and push the door in, but her hands were shaky and sweaty, and she ended up struggling with the door. Tears slipped away from her left eyes, landing on her cheek, and she wiped it away immediately. Henry walked close to her and held the handle, placing his h
