Life seemed to pause...
The air was cold, too cold that it could quench a breath.
Jayden was completely wide-eyed as he stared at his mother lying lifeless on the bed, turning colder and paler with every passing second.
He couldn't believe it.
"No, mom... Mom no," his voice broke, filled with despair. He grabbed her stiff hand and gripped tight, stream of tears trickling down his temples.
Tom was also deep in tears, as the three kids hugged him tight as they cried as well.
"Dad, what happened to mommy?" The youngest of them asked, sobbing.
"I'm going to miss mommy... Tell her to wake up," the second to th youngest said.
The one who appeared to be the oldest only wept with her father without saying a word, completely saddened.
Jayden then understood something.
'She has three kids with another man?'
He was stunned but didn't try showing it too much. Tom was giving him a saddened look, and it felt like they both were feeling the same thing.
