Chapter 1182 Ambiguity

"The rain's really coming down out there. Let's chill here for a bit," Joe said, rummaging through the house. "I'll see if there's anything to get a fire going." Sadie grabbed some firewood and got a fire going on the stove. She found some pots, boiled some water, and then sat down to peel apples.

"Wow, Auntie, you're awesome! Just like Mommy!" Mary said, watching Sadie handle the fire and cooking like a pro.

"Do you miss your mommy?" Sadie asked, gently touching Mary's face. "Yeah." Mary nodded, her little mouth trembling as tears started to fall.

"Hey, don't be sad. You'll see her soon," Sadie said, hugging Mary tightly.

"Sadie, let me handle that," Joe said, taking the knife to peel the apples. He handed the peeled apples to Sadie.

"Cut them up and toss them in the pot," Sadie instructed. "Mary's got a bit of a cold; she needs some hot apple soup."

"Got it," Joe nodded, following her lead.

Just then, Coco flew in, flapping its wings. Joe was so startled he dropped the knife.

"Don't freak out. I'm here; it won't hurt you," Sadie reassured him, making a gesture to Coco. The bird obediently stayed by the fire to dry its feathers. But its sharp eyes were locked on the little rabbit in Mary's arms.
