CHAPTER 23

  "Sleep well?" His face was emotionless as he stared at her but she replied nonetheless.

  "Yes I did. Thank you."

  "I spoke to the doctor. He's out of danger now" he stated relieving her of her fears. She released a breath she didn't know that she was holding.

  "Thank you."

  Casey choose that exact moment to wake up.

  "Mom" he called out sleepily.

  Mira was ecstatic "You're awake."

  "Did I startle you?"

  "Is that even a question? I almost died"

  "I promised that I would take care of you so I can't die."

  She rubbed his cheeks lovingly "How much did you cry?"

  "I didn't cry" she lied.

  "I know you mom. Your eyes are heavy which meant that you had been crying."

  "I'm alright now that you're awake."

  Alexandro stood there watching the exchange. He seemed like a sweet little kid. Reminds him of Abby. Mira had raised him well and that was certain.
