This action made Teresa completely freeze, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Run?
Or continue lying down?
Countless thoughts spun in her mind, and in her panic, she almost couldn't control herself from crying out.
But just then, her mother's words from the dream suddenly emerged in her mind.
"You're no longer that little child who needs us to protect you at all times!"
"Face everything with courage!"
"Be brave when you meet your heart's desire!"
Teresa took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tried to calm her racing heart.
Her mother had told her to learn to be strong and not to panic and flee like she used to when things happened.
Herbert must be worried about them, which is why he's holding them as they rest. She cannot allow her imagination to run wild, nor can she disturb him out of panic.
"..."
When her emotions were somewhat stable, Teresa slowly opened her eyes.
With her mother's encouragement, she felt now... very brave!
