Out of everything that could have happened to his eyes, he turned blind for a time being...her son turned blind for a minute or two???
"When...when and how..where did this start to happen? " Ivory intervened.
"Since yesterday. " Cole answered.
"Why did you not tell me, Cole? You do not hide such news about yourself from your mother."
Ivory yelled out in frustration drawing some unwanted attention to their side which they chose to ignore. A strand of tear rolled down her cheeks. Her nose turned red from thinking about the possibility that her son could forever turn blind.
"I m...I m sorry mom. " Cole bowed his head down in embarrassment.
Ivory felt bad yelling at him when how hard it must have been for him to keep it all to himself and bear it all alone. She rubbed away her tears and pulled her son in for a big warm hug. He hugged her back.
