Only Charles and Rona knew how emotional they got. When Jane popped her head in the narrow opening of the door, right after she got their consent, they were already wrapped in each other's arms, eyes bloodshot. Rona smiled at her while brushing her tears away, but her jaw dropped when Jane opened the door wider, ushering Kristian in.
Rona sprinted towards him, her already surging emotion peaked once again. Gathering Kristian into her arms, she cried hard until she fainted. Kristian also cried with her; his shrill, childish voice blended with hers in a heartwrenching strain.
"What now, Dr. Charles?" Jane said with a teasing smile. She knew Charles didn't want her to expose the condition he asked for Jane.
"You're right, Jane," he grinned like a long, lost-and-found puppy. He then turned to Rona and held her hand. "Let's go home now. I can't wait to take you and Kristian home."
