He took a deep lungful of air before he went back to the room. He sat down on the bed beside Mandy with concealed emotions in his heart. He looked down at her with his well-crafted brown eyes, but it was difficult to read his expression in the dim light. Then, he caressed her delicate face with his warm hands.
Mandy slowly moved her head to the side while her brows snapped together. "Mom," She mumbled softly.
