"Then what happened after that mother?" Nicholas asked his mother curiously when his mother was silent and did not continue her story.
Laura was silent as if she was reminded of something bitter in the past, and what she said was very influential on her life in the past.
Because Nicholas could feel what his mother was feeling right now.
"Ah yes, I'm sorry honey, I will continue the story! But is it okay? Don't you have to go to school tomorrow?" Laura asked trying to divert the conversation with Nicholas because it seemed from the look on Laura's face that she was unable to tell the story she had told Nicholas.
"Don't worry Mother, I won't be late, because Richard will pick me up here!" Nicholas answered with such enthusiasm, that he shrieked with joy while waiting for the story his mother had to continue.
