Chapter 0262

ANASTASIA

We both turned to see Amie standing behind us on the doorway. Her hand held the door ajar as her curious eyes looked up at me, wide and questioning.

Dennis immediately released me and focused on her, his movements smooth and natural as he lifted her up and cradled her in his arms.

I watched him go from comforting me to distracting Amie in a matter of seconds.

"Not really," he said as he slightly tickled her..

Cute giggles spilled out of her as she squirmed in his arms.

"Stop it, Dennis," Amie protested halfheartedly, her words interspersed with more giggles.

"No, I will not," he said, deepening his voice in a playful growl that only made her laugh harder.

After a while, he stopped and waited for her giggles to slowly subside. The hospital corridor seemed to fade away to leave the three of us in a temporary bubble of normalcy. "Amie?" Dennis's voice was gentle and coaxing.

"Yes?" She looked up at him.

"You see," he started slowly, "I need you to understand that everyone needs to be very strong, hmm?"

She nodded, listening to him raptly, her little face serious as she absorbed his words.
