Cornelia got it, Abigail was all chatty and happy before she left, talking about whether the baby in her tummy was a boy or a girl. Now, it seemed, life was full of surprises.
Cornelia held Abigail, sitting with her in silence. Then, the phone rang.
Cornelia picked it up right away, and heard Zack asking, "Is Abigail still sleeping? Should I bring some food to her house?"
"No need, we'll be right over." Cornelia responded.
After hanging up, Cornelia pulled Abigail up, "Come on, let's go eat. Have a good meal, take a nap, and tomorrow is a new day."
"Right, no hurdle is too high to get over." Abigail forced a smile.
After the meal, Cornelia wanted to stay and take care of Abigail, but she refused. "Come take care of me during the day tomorrow. But for tonight, you have to go home, don't leave Marcus alone."
Zack chimed in, "I'll be here with Abby, you can go home without worry."
Cornelia could only nod, "Okay."
To keep Zack and Abigail from worrying, Cornelia went back to the Celestial Chateau. It was a bit of a drive from Lakeview Estates to Celestial Chateau, even without traffic, it would take more than half an hour. As soon as she got to the mansion, she could see the lights on in the main building.
Marcus must be home. But Patricia wasn't inside taking care of Marcus, she was standing at the door, looking around.
As soon as Cornelia drove into the yard, Patricia hurried over, "Nelly, Marcus is home."
"Yeah, I know." Cornelia nodded, not sure how to feel.
Patricia frowned, "And he brought Tahlia."
