The fear was gone. The investigations ended. The court battles had become old memories.

"Mama Vivi! Vivian immediately opened her arms laughing softly.
The little boy crashed into her happily while the second child stood near Isabella trying to climb onto the couch by himself.
"Mama Bella!"
Isabella smiled instantly and carried him carefully.
Both women looked at each other afterward and laughed.

Now— It healed them instead.
