~{CLIFFORD'S POV}~
***
"Mr Clifford, you're back so early." Jonas welcomed me.
"Well, I have a family now you see."
"Ah, a family man." Jonas said and smiled in understanding.
"You should eat something."
"I'm fine. I ate outside." I informed him and made my way to where our rooms were located.
But instead of entering mine, I went straight to Arleen's.
With care I opened the door and walked in just in time to see her jerk awake while gasping for air on the bed.
Worry gripped me as I hastily climbed the bed and crawled to her before cupping her face.
"Just breathe ok? You need to breathe."
Her eyes were wide open and filled with tears as she looked at me as if trying to understand what was going on before turning to look at her son who was still sleeping.
On seeing him, her breathing lessened and she calmed down.
