“I’m not hungry,” Theodore responded as he left the box at the entrance.

Inside, he saw Kristie playing games with Carl in the living room. The heartwarming sight rekindled his previously dead heart and made it beat once again.

“Carl.”

Carl looked up and widened his eyes at the sight of Theodore. Leaping up like a spring, the boy ran over and exclaimed, “Daddy!”

Theodore lifted Carl off the ground and was surprised to find him heavier than before. A smile spread across Theodore’s face, which had been cold moments prior. “You’ve put on some weight and grown a bit taller,” he commented.

“Of course! I trained hard every day, wanting to be as tall as you!” Carl revealed in delight. He was elated to see his father alive and well after six months of being apart from each other.

As Theodore was alone, he asked, “Where is Mommy?”

Hearing that, Theodore stiffened and brought him to the living room. In a gentle voice, he explained, “Your mother is still unconscious. Don’t you worry, though. Jeremy is capable, so she’ll be back soon.”

Carl pouted in disappointment. “Yeah. Mr. Jeremy told me she won’t wake up so soon as she was seriously injured.” He quickly perked up and chirped, “It’s fine. You’re back, so I can wait a bit more!”

Theodore ruffled his hair. “I didn’t protect you and your mother well.”

“That’s not true.” Carl shook his head. “You’re amazing. You’ve always been my idol! I know some things are out of your control. Oh, Daddy. I made sandwiches today. You must try some!”

Carl jumped off the couch and retrieved one of the sandwiches he made from the refrigerator, offering it to Theodore.

Kristie leaned over and whispered, “Theodore, I wouldn’t recommend eating that.”

“Is it not delicious?” Theodore noticed that the sandwich looked delicious, so he took one bite. “My son made it…”

He started coughing violently in the next second.

Opening the sandwich, he discovered that it was full of mustard sauce!
