When the Family 58

Chapter 58 Back to the Ginger Family

Finished

Dominic didn’t even want to imagine what Jean had gone through the past few days–what kind of pain she’d suffered, whether she’d been tortured or starved. The very thought made his chest twist with guilt.

He had to admit it; the little sister who once felt like an afterthought now meant something completely different to him.

He didn’t want her to suffer ever again. He didn’t want to see that fragile, exhausted look on her face. He made a silent vow-

From now on, he would protect her. No matter what. Nothing like this would happen again. He swore it.

Winston stood nearby, tall and still. His expression was, perhaps, the calmest of them all.

At first, he hadn’t even known Jean was missing. It wasn’t until Rylan approached him–yes, Rylan–and told him their little middle school sister hadn’t shown up to class in days.

That caught Winston off guard. He hadn’t expected Rylan of all people to keep track of Jean.

And yet… he hadn’t done anything about it

He figured she’d show up eventually. He didn’t think it was serious, He and Jean might have crossed paths more than before, but that didn’t mean anything had changed. He was still the same. Still indifferent to anything involving the Ginger family.

But the thought… the thought of her missing had gotten under his skin.

Like a splinter in his chest, it sat there, poking at him, refusing to let him be

When Rylan told him again–Jean was still gone–he couldn’t sit still. Something twisted in his gut.

That night, on his way back to the dorms, in the dark silence of the academy halls, he found himself climbing the wall and slipping away from school without a second thought.

And now, there she was. Jean. On this strange, unexpected night, she’d appeared again.

Jean let Sienna hold her. For the first time, she could feel the strength of her mother’s love–how fierce, how overwhelming it

was.

She couldn’t help it. Her arms wrapped around Sienna in return.

“I’m okay, Mom,” she laid softly. Her voice sounded weak, like it came from the bottom of a well.

“I’m sorry, Jean,” Sienna murmured. She let go of her daughter, only to cup her face gently. Her eyes were red. “I forgot how hurt you must be. Come on, let’s get you home. It’s freezing out here.”

Jean nodded.
