After all that was settled, Patricia limped out of the security room. While taking the elevator down to the indoor playground, she thought she had the worst luck—to think she would meet a thief in a mall of all places. Meanwhile, Stellan helped Sylvie, who was drenched in sweat from all the playing, wipe down her face and neck. On the other hand, Scott held a kid’s water bottle, making sure their little sister stayed hydrated.

Once they saw that Patricia had returned, the triplets stood waiting for her, and it was then the boys discovered their mother was walking funny. Thus, the two went up to help her. “Mommy, did you sprain your ankle?”

Patricia forced a smile upon hearing their warm concern. “The floor here is so slippery, and I accidentally twisted my ankle.”

She didn’t tell them the truth, for she didn’t want them to be upset as well.

“You guys go ahead and play. I’ll wait right here,” she said with a smile.

Sylvie had such a wild time earlier that she instantly dragged her brothers back into the playground with her.

Meanwhile, Patricia stared mindlessly ahead while propping her chin up. Perhaps the ring was never meant to be hers, and perhaps she was never destined to find that sc*mbag.
