Charlotte turned to see Liam's mother approaching them slowly. She looks older than her age and her eyes were red rimmed with tears as she approached them.
"Mom, what's going on with you? You look so worn out and terrible." Ava asked, giving her mother a side hug.
"How can you ask me that Ava? How can you? Is it not clear to you that our family is cursed? First, it was your father who died and Liam nearly died alongside him. Now, Olivia is critically ill and no one knows whether she is going to come out of it this time around. As though that isn't enough, my only surviving son…my golden boy, Liam, has been declared missing and may even be dead. Oh my God, God!" Liam's mother finished and burst into a bout of fresh tears.
Charlotte and Ava exchanged a look before leading her to sit on one of the lounge chairs that were close by.
