THE BATTALLION RUN

Meanwhile, Ling Li checked on the twins, her heart heavy with worry. She hoped that this confrontation would finally make Nina understand the gravity of her actions. As she tucked the twins into bed, she couldn't help but think about the fragile peace within their family. The soft glow of the nightlight cast gentle shadows on the walls, and she whispered a lullaby, her voice trembling with unspoken fears.

Four Eyes returned, his face still tense. Ling Li met his gaze, offering a small, reassuring smile. "Let's hope this is the end of it," she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper.

Four Eyes nodded, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "I hope so, too," Four Eyes replied, his voice filled with a mixture of determination and fatigue. They stood there for a moment, drawing strength from each other, before heading to bed, their minds restless with the weight of the day's events.
