"W-what are you saying?" Erika asked, not sure if she was hearing what she thought she was hearing or if her ears were playing tricks on her. "Please repeat what you just said," she pleaded as a smile tried to break loose on her face.
Viper sighed, the words harder for him to say now than the first time he'd said it.
"I'm taking you back to your family," he repeated and gulped down his saliva for no good reason.
Viper stood up from the bed and added, "I will be waiting for you at the dining table." Without waiting for her to reply, he walked towards the door and closed the door behind him.
Erika sat on the bed, completely frozen and unable to speak anymore. She still couldn't believe what she heard from him but to not waste time and make him change his mind, she quickly jumped down from the bed and rushed toward the babies and started getting them ready.
