"Mama I was scared I thought I would never see you and Papa again."
" It's alright my love, you're safe now, oka? am sorry, am sorry I didn't protect you from those men, am sorry my love." Alice said, with tears running down her eyes.
Thomas walked in holding a cup of water for Edwin.
"Are you alright my son?" Thomas asked, with a sad impression.
"Yes Papa, am fine please don't be sad anymore those men won't harm me anymore, please Papa talk to Mama."
"Alice, he's right they won't touch him I will never allow it."
Alice turned to him with a smile. "Thanks my love, for being there for our child when he needed you the most. You are a good father right from the start. I am the bad mother here for not looking after our son." Alice said, with a broken heart.
"Shhh my love don't say that."
"Yes Mama don't say that you are the best mother one can ask for sorry for making you sad."
