Alex stared at Abigail keenly for a few seconds. He wasn't a mind-reader but he could tell she was trying to get away from him. So he said,
"Alright, I will take you to your mum if that is what you want. Also, I will share the discoveries I made before you and your mum after you have spoken to her. Is that okay with you?"
"Yes." Abigail dabbed at her tears.
"Can we go into the house now?" Alex gestured. "I need to go inside and make all the necessary travel arrangements."
"Okay," Abigail smiled amidst her tears as Alex helped her out of the car.
When Alex attempted to carry her in his arms, she declined his offer.
"Thanks but I'm not sick. I can still walk." Abigail said firmly.
"Then I will just hold your hands." Alex took hold of Abigail's arms before she could react. He led her to one of the well furnished bedrooms and directed her to sit down.
"Would you like me to get you anything?" Alex asked.
