Eve Thompson picked up the laptop.
Anthony Charlie sat beside her, helping her deal with company matters.
Eve Thompson suddenly let out a sigh.
Anthony Charlie turned to look at her, and Eve Thompson spoke, "When will Carlos Charlie be able to come back?"
Anthony was taken aback, fell silent for a moment, and then asked, "Missing him?"
Eve Thompson nodded.
Her hand rested on her abdomen as she sighed and said, "I used to talk to Carlos, telling it that once my child is born, I want it to watch over them."
She lowered her head, sounding somewhat disheartened, "But clearly, it won't make it in time for the birth of our baby."
Repairing Carlos Charlie would take at least ten years.
Anthony Charlie took her hand; his dry, large hand radiated a reassuring strength: "Don't worry, it will happen quickly. Technology is advancing; now it's ten years, but who knows, next year with more advanced data and technology, it might only take five years to recover."
