I flashed a smile. “It’s okay, go ahead,” I said. “Are you sure?” he softly asked. “You could come if you want,” he said and flashed a smile. I for
I frowned when I saw our picture together with Veronica. She was actually beside Arzhel, so I really had the urge to just crop her, but even if I did that, I still couldn’t post that cropped photo. Tss. Instead, I posted the picture of the kids, and the kids with Arzhel. Then I put a heart emoji

I saw their family members on the benches in the waiting area outside the ICU rooms at the end of the hallway. There were two women, both crying. I assumed they were their wives. The two benches were facing each other, and I assumed each bench was for the family of each security personnel. On one
