chapter 220

When they were in the corridor, Elio didn't even know where to turn, his entire existence was threatened. He didn't even know what he was going to say to the children since they were the ones who found their mother in this state. they knew deep down that something was wrong with her and yet he couldn't clearly tell them that she was between life and death, they wouldn't understand.

“It’s time to go home, kids."

“So what about mom?" asked Mateo.
