RYDER WRIGHT RESIDENCE
Gracelyn lie-down on the bed covered with a duvet as Maddox and Henley sat beside her on the bed
“Have you called your brother?” Gracelyn asked looking at her two sons
She knew she was behaving like a lovesick teenager, she missed Zoltan but she couldn’t tell her kids the nature of her sickness. The man she had spent twenty years of her life with, it’s no longer easy for her to stay without him
“Yes Mum he will soon be here,” Henley replied
“Why don’t you want us to take you to the hospital mother, you’re not feeling too good, you’re scaring us,” Maddox looked worried
“I’m fine you don’t have to worry yourself about me,” Gracelyn gave her son reassuring smile.
If only they knew what could cure her sickness, they wouldn’t have suggested taking her to the hospital

Chester parked his car carefully at the parking lot. Stepped out of the car, he ran upstairs to his mother’s room
He had been so busy taking care of Zoltan.
Zoltan was very sick since the recent dissaperance of Amira.
He refused to go to the office and even starved himself several times, all Chester’s efforts to make him sane was proving abortive
Chester was surprised when his brother had called him earlier that his mother was also sick. He knew that both of them were lovesick and he was really confused about the whole thing
He had thought that his mother would be happy to leave Zoltan’s house but reverse was the case
“Mum!” Chester called and hugged her, removing the duvet covering her body
“I heard that you’re sick”
Maddox frowned as his twin brother forgot to greet him, he punched him playfully on his shoulder, pulling him away from their mother
“I’m sorry Maddox, I was worried about Mum,” Chester apologized and greeted his brothers

Zane arrived at his brother’s house and walked inside the living room
He met Vera dusting the table as she sang enthusiastically and soulfully shaking her head in slow motion
Vera stopped singing when she noticed a presence in the living room, she glanced up to see Zane standing in front of her, his hand tucked in the pocket
“Good morning sir Zane,” Vera bowed slightly and smiled at him
“Morning Vera, where are the kids?” Zane asked
“They are in their parents room,” Vera said, looking nervously at Zane. Thinking of how Zane would react if he find out that Gracelyn and Maynard were back, since Henley and Maddox haven’t informed him about it.
Zane noticed that Vera looked tense but he ignored it and walked upstairs to his brother’s room
“Kids, your uncle is here!” Zane announced as he entered the room with a smiling face
He paused abruptly, immediately his eyes caught a glimpse of Gracelyn’s face on the bed.
“What! Gracelyn! Maynard!” Zane called, shaking his head doubtfully
“Where have you been for the past twenty years,what happened?” Zane questioned her, looking keenly at both the mother and the son
Gracelyn stood up from the bed and moved closer to Zane who kept staring at her coldly, his face was lack of expression
“The kids….”
Before Gracelyn could finish her statement, Zane pulled her into a warm embrace
“Come to your uncle, Maynard, I’ve been waiting for your return,” Zoltan told Chester
Chester stood up from the bed and hugged Zane tightly
After pulling away from the hug, Zane turned and glared at Henley and Maddox, giving them a knock on their forehead
“why don’t you tell me that you’ve found your brother and your mother, What if I didn’t come here today?”
“We are sorry Uncle, we are just planning to inform you about them,” Henley answered
“Really? Just planning, I will make sure I punish the both of you just remind me later,” Zane scoffed
His gaze shifted away from them and looked at Gracelyn
“You look young for your age Gracelyn, at least I’m happy you’re doing fine.Tell me who kidnapped you and Maynard?”
“Uncle, his name is Zoltan, I think he was the one that killed our father, we’ve asked Mum several times but she refused to talk to us,” Maddox answered
“Take me to him, I want to see him,” Zane said authoritatively
“Mum let me carry you, you are sick,” Chester muttered, before Gracelyn could protest, he had already carried his mother in a bridal style out of the room.
