q“Mommy!” Robbie quickly got out of the car and pounced at his mother.
“Be careful, boy! Your mother is injured!” Zachary called out after him, but he couldn't stop Robbie from hugging
his mother.
Charlotte pulled on her wound a little, but she didn't care about that. She hugged Robbie and cried her heart out.
“I've missed you, sweetheart. Are you hurt?”
“Yeah, but not much, really.”
The injuries were serious for children, but Robbie thought he couldn't let his mother worry about him, for he was a
man.
“You should get that looked at. Dr. Langhan will patch you right up.” Charlotte held his face and sobbed. “This is all
my fault. I should have been more careful.”

off.
“Robbie!” Jamie whipped out a small package and unwrapped it, eventually revealing a hot cross bunny in it. It was
still steaming hot too. “I brought this for you. Here, take it.”
“Thanks, Jamie!” Robbie took the hot cross bunnies and smiled happily. “It's been days since I had this. I miss it so
much. We managed to survive in that dungeon because we thought about food all the time. We promised we'd
have a hundred hot cross bunnies when we get home!”
Jamie looked at Robbie tearfully. “Thanks for saving me, Robbie. You could have escaped first, but you gave that
chance to me.”
“You dummy!” Robbie knocked his forehead. “I'm your big bro.” He huffed. “It's my duty to keep you safe.”
“But...”
Ellie couldn't hold it in anymore, so she hugged Robbie and started crying. “I was so worried. I thought I won't see
you ever again.”
“You're a dummy too. I'm here, aren't I?” Robbie patted her back gently. “I still have to keep you dummies safe, so I
will be fine.”
“Yeah, and me too!” Jamie quickly quipped. “I'm a guy. Robbie and I are gonna keep you safe, Ellie!”
“You kids are so sweet!” Charlotte was touched that the kids were finally reunited.
Bruce pushed Zachary over to see his family. It had been a day since Zachary came back, but it was his first time
seeing Jamie and Ellie again.
“Daddy!” The kids pounced at him, and they were talking gibberish out of excitement. Then, they started crying.
“It's good to see you too, kids.” Zachary held his children lovingly. It's good to be alive for I get to see them again.
“Alright, you're still not well. Get in the car.” Charlotte ushered the kids into the car and followed Zachary back to

They had a lot to say after getting reunited. The kids wouldn't stop talking, and they were being noisy, but Zachary
and Charlotte didn't find it annoying. They thought it was sweet.
A short while later, the kids drifted to sleep. It had been a long day for them as well. Robbie and Jamie were injured
and unwell, so they got exhausted easily. Ellie had always been weak, and the long night had taken a toll on her.
They leaned back against the seat and slept soundly.
Charlotte covered them with a blanket, kissed them lovingly, and leaned her head against Zachary's chest. They
held hands, fingers interlocked.
“What brought you here at this hour, Wifey?” Zachary smiled at her. “Are you worried that I might fail to convince
your brother?”
“I was worried you guys might get into a fight.” The thought of that possibility still made her shiver. “That's why I
brought the kids with me. I thought they could serve as a cushion, but I ran into your car before I could even get
there.”
“If your brother really wanted to make things hard for me, he won't stop even if you were there.” Zachary smiled.
“Besides, you should have more faith in me.”
