Chapter 382


    ra sighed weakly. “I can’t sleep, I have insomnia, and I miss my kids.”


    Nestor let out a puff of air. “I get you; if you can’t sleep, don’t force it. Come, let me show you how to


    nt flowers. I just bought these seedlings; they’ll look stunning when they bloom.”


    Nodding, ra crouched down to ept the tools Nestor handed her, and they started digging


    together.


    As they dug, Nestor tried tofort her. “I know you must miss your kids like crazy, but you gotta keep


    your chin up. After all, both your kids are safe and sound. I saw the news too; they were both rescued.


    Ain’t that a silver lining?”


    After taking a deep breath, ra replied, “Yeah, from that angle, you’re right.”


    “You gotta stay positive, or else you’ll get stuck in your head, and that’s a one-way ticket to mental


    illness. On the news, it was said that people struggling with mental health issues are more likely to


    have suicidal thoughts. It was very rming”


    ra looked up at Nestor and gave him a small smile. “Thanks for looking out for me; I’m okay. As long


    as I know that both kids are safe and back with the Melendez family, I should be able to rest easy. It’s


    just that I miss them a ton and wanna see them.”


    “Then why don’t you give Mr. Melendez a call? I reckon Elio would let you leave. He said he’s not


    holding you here anymore; you’re free toe and go.”


    “I can’t go back, not now.” ra lowered her head and continued digging.


    Nestor squinted slightly as aplex look appeared in his eyes that ra didn’t see.


    Soon, Elio’s car pulled up, and he parked outside the house.


    He walked in with breakfast ingredients and was surprised to see ra gardening. “Why aren’t you


    getting some more sleep?”


    “I can’t sleep.”


    Nestor chimed in. “Elio, you’re back. You two chat. I’ll whip up breakfast.”


    “Alright, thanks, Nestor.”


    As Nestor left, Elio walked over to ra, gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.


    “Look at you; you’re so pale. Should I get a doctor to check on you?”


    While shaking her head, ra replied, “I’m fine. I just feel kinda queasy for some reason.”


    “Queasy?” Elio froze.


    She was pregnant, so this was normal.


    But Elio hesitated and didn’t tell her.


    He didn’t dare to, because if ra found out that she was pregnant with Emmett’s child, wouldn’t she


    go running back to him without a second thought?


    Elio admitted he was selfish; he would rather ra ept the truth and stay by his side, never to leave


    again.

    “Yeah, I feel like throwing up the moment I wake up, and also…” ra trailed off.


    Elio knew what she meant. Her period waste, and she felt awkward saying it out loud.


    Elio pretended not to get it and didn’t push further. He smiled and said, “How about this? I’ll get you


    some medicer; it should help ease the


    “Okay.”


    Then Elio handed her a phone.

    “This has all the photos of Aiden and Alex. If you miss them, have a look. I even had someone take


    pictures of them at school.”
