Wendy looked up, relief flooding her face. "Jason Are you alright? Is it over?"

Jason nodded, his expression grim. "Yeah, Mom. It's over... for now."

Wendy noticed the frown creasing her son's brow. "What's wrong? You don't look relieved."

Jason ran a hand through his hair, sighing heavily. "It doesn't make sense, Mom. It was too easy."

'Easy?" Wendy asked with a frown.

"Something isn't right," Jason said, pacing the room. "The men we fought... they were amateurs. Poorly trained. It doesn't add up.'

Daniel frowned. His wife? Anya's mother? But she is dead, right?

Daniel soon returned to the capital and rushed back to Anya's hospital.

The double doors stood open in greeting, allowing Daniel a view of a white hospital room. His mother's small silhouette was clearly visible within, bent protectively over Anya's comatose frame as she dabbed her brow gently with a damp towel. He knew his mother definitely liked Anya more than she had Helen. He could not fathom the idea that he may love her more than his late wife
