THUD
The world seemed to hold its breath for a moment, and everyone was frozen in shock at the sudden turn of events.
Kaya, who was looking at what happened with her eyes wide open, was the first one to regain her composure.
"JANE!"
Kaya's heart raced, her chest heaving as she took in the sight before her. Jane stood there, tears streaming down her face, trembling but alive. Kaya's legs moved before her mind fully comprehended, carrying her to her daughter's side in an instant.
Kneeling down, Kaya gathered Jane into her arms, holding her tightly as if she would never let go. Tears streamed down her own face as relief flooded her, her body trembling with the release of pent-up fear.
