Chapter Eighty-two [Thanksgiving day]
David beams with sparks in his eyes and a radiant face as he sees Daniele strolling at her own pace. However, it appears that he is making up an explanation, saying that he was hospitalized and no one knew. Augie laughs heartily at him, as the two of them are excellent at hiding even the darkest secrets.
"Dad, is it working? After those dark days in the past, things have returned to normal. Take caution so that it doesn't happen again.”
David gave a nod to Augie and Gracia, who had known all along as she approached her father and said in a whisper, "Daddy, God is good, isn't he?"
It's the first time David has been ill since he married Daniele, and the only ones who know are his foster daughter Gracia and his only son Augie. David simply nodded cheerfully and grinned broadly while fixing his gaze on Daniele, who is oblivious to his mannerisms.
