“LEAP OF BLOOD”

"SAY thank you to your Uncle Marius, Andrea," Lana said to Andrea as they ate ice cream at a store inside the mall.

"Thank you, Uncle Marius. Promise, I will take care of her," Andrea said, hugging the new Barbie doll that Marius bought.

Lana laughed softly with her daughter's tenderness.

There is no denying that Andrea bears a strong resemblance to her father's sister Samantha. But no one needs to know about that anymore.

Her daughter didn't need it anymore. Because, over a long period of time, she did not regret that she kept the child from Andrew.

And by doing such she was able to keep Andrea away from a lot of bad things that could have happened in case she had sought support from Andrew back then.

So if all of that were to happen again, she would not hesitate to take the same step and decision that she made, three years ago.

A beautiful smile tore from Marius's lips.

"Anytime, sweetheart. Anything for you," he said pinching Andrea's cheek.
