Hope Williams was momentarily stunned, then she gathered herself and patted Alitzel Williams's back soothingly, "Sorry for making you all worried these past months."
Alitzel Williams let go of Hope Williams, tears flowing even more forcefully, "No, Little Hope, you don't need to apologize. It's our fault; if it wasn't for trying to save us, you wouldn't have been in danger, wouldn't have disappeared, wouldn't have encountered peril. It's all because of your father and me. We should be the ones apologizing."
Hope Williams reassured, "It's all in the past now. I'm back safe and sound, aren't I? It's all good now."
"Yes, it's good, it's good..."
"Mom, no need to cry. Sister-in-law is back; you should be happy." Wyatt Lewis, seeing his mother almost desperately holding onto Hope Williams as if crying out of anguish, couldn't help but step forward to intervene.
After all, she was also blocking the eager gaze from the two people behind.
