Back on Happy Street, the first thing Sadie Roth did was buy a new phone.
Biting the bullet, she opted for thetest model, hoping it wouldn''t break as easily as thest. With the SIM card in, she immediately rang Brenda.
Brenda, not getting through the night before, had worried something had happened to her.
Sadie Roth exined the broken phone and then video-called her three kids.
They appeared on screen, looking dapper in new clothes.
Noah furrowed his brow with concern, "Mommy, are you okay? We were really worried."
"I''m fine, baby, don''t you worry," Sadie Roth soothed them.
Nathan crowded the camera, disying his tiny fists, "Mommy, once I get strong enough, I''ll protect you."
"Thanks, Nathan," Sadie Roth said with a relieved smile. "You''re amazing, Nathan!"
"Mommy, mommy..." Mia''s chubby little cheeks filled the camera as she saw her mother, and her big, grape-like eyes swiftly welled up with tears. "Mommy, I miss you, waaah~~~" Upon seeing Mia cry, Noah and Nathan''s eyes turned red too, but the little troopers pursed their lips, fighting hard to hold back the tears.
"Mia, be a good girl. Mommy wille get you as soon as she sorts things out here."
Sadie quickly soothed them, "The bad guys are caught now. I just need to fix up the house a bit and get everything in order. When you guys arrive, you''ll see a beautiful and cozy home." "That''s awesome!" The three kids cheered.
"Mommy, we cane and help you clean up," Noah said responsibly. "You shouldn''t have to do it all by yourself."
"Yeah, Nathan is strong, he can do a lot of work," another chimed in.
Nathan clenched his fist, showing off his biceps in pride.
"I can help Mommy too..."
Mia sniffled, her tears falling and hanging on her plump cheeks.
"Mia, Mia!"
Coco heard Mia''s voice and suddenly perked up and began looking around with its little head. Upon seeing them in the phone screen, it eagerly came closer and shouted, "Noah, Nathan, Mia!" "Coco..."
All three kids were excited to see Coco, and they enthusiastically waved their hands to greet her.
"Miss, miss!" Coco repeated the word to the camera.
The kids jostled toe closer...
"Coco, we miss you too."
"Yikes, Coco, how did you hurt your wing?"
"Coco got hurt protecting me, but the doctor has seen her and she''ll be alright after some rest," Sadie reassured them. "Be good, and Mommy wille to get you!" "Ok, we''ll be good!"
After seeing her children''s faces, Sadie felt her life fill with hope.
Afterforting the children, Sadie returned home to find that thendlord had already changed the locks and left arge warning notice demanding Sadie contact them immediately! Sadie panicked and called thendlord right away.
Thendlord arrived in a rush, scolding Sadie pointedly before demandingpensation in the amount of thirty thousand dors, stating that the previous deposit and rent would not be refunded and insisting that she move out that day. Sadie argued with her, but thendlord retorted, "Ever since you moved in, it''s been one problem after another. I''ve put up with peopleing by and yelling, and now you''ve taken it too far with kidnapping and murder on the premises. What do you think this ce is?"
"Listen, let me exin..." Sadie began, but thendlord, her hair in an angry mop of curls, cut her off. "I''ve had enough! I don''t want to hear it. Pack your things and get out now, or I''m calling the cops. I''ve been more than fair waiting for you to show up and settle things in person!"
