"Yes, I'll be fine," she replied, trying to remain strong despite the discomfort. “I think it’s just a normal pregnancy symptom and nothing serious”. Emma repeated what Georgina had just said, not satisfied with her answer. “You think?. Why don’t you call Martins. He’s…”. Georgina interrupted Emma as she spoke. “It’s fine Emma. Seriously”.

His home is no more, and no one knows where he could be now."Georgina felt a knot forming in her throat as she absorbed Lorenzo's words. “What do you mean my father’s home is no more?”.
