"I didn’t stay here at my own will," Geena tried to convince Marissa but at this point no one was trustworthy, "Your husband wanted me to stay here! You can ask him."
"You know my husband’s condition, Geena. Thank you for bringing him back to me. But I can’t take risks. His life is in danger, and we didn’t know who tried to kill him," she said with a shrug.
For a minute, she thought she saw pain flashing on her face but now Marissa didn’t want to take risks.
She couldn’t afford to lose anyone dear to her. Life rarely gave second chances, and she didn’t want to gamble on it.
"Do you think if I was a criminal and the murderer, I would have brought him back?" Geena asked her but then she couldn’t blame Marissa too.
"Fine!" she picked up her small leather bag and slung it on her shoulder, "Say hi to Rafael. Tell him that I left because my employer called me for a twenty-four-hour shift."
After she left, Marissa didn’t know what to feel.
Nina almost hated Marissa for doubting her sincerity. Valerie might not be mad at her anymore, but she couldn’t be trusted. The only problem was, she couldn’t be kept out of the house because their mom lived there.
And now Geena who brought back her husband was also pissed at her.
"What should I do?" she chewed her upper lip and dialed Sophie’s number. She could feel the tension coiling in her shoulders.
The call was received, and Sophie’s voice sounded rushed, "Marissa!"
"Hey," Marissa tried to mask the nervousness in her voice, "How are kids?"
"Oh, don’t worry. They are good," Sophia’s busy voice came out of the phone, "I just finished my night duty and now going home."
"Oh. Is everything alright at the hospital?" She asked her friend in concern, "I hope you’re getting the rest."
"Yeah. Almost. You know? Just one of those nights. We nearly lost a mom and her baby, but both pulled through. Yay!" Marissa closed her eyes with a chuckle.
Sophie had gone back to being a gynecologist in her newly opened hospital.
"Great! You’re doing an amazing job, Soph!"
"Thanks. But what about you? You sound... off..." She could sense worry in Sophia’s voice, "What’s going on?"
"I ... I didn’t want to bother you. But there is so much going on... I don’t know who to trust," Marissa tried to keep her voice composed, "I was just concerned about kids and your private life, Soph ..."
"Urgh. Marissa. Don’t worry about my private life," Sophie’s voice turned tender, "Fix yours. Kids deserve a safe space and right now, I’m their best option."
Marissa didn’t want to disturb the newly engaged couple’s privacy yet right now she didn’t have any other option.
There was a pause, then Sophie spoke, "Look, Marissa. I know you’ve been through a lot. But just focus on yourself. And why are you worried when your man is back. He is at your side."
Rafael was back but he knew nothing.
"He doesn’t know who was after his life. Valerie might use Mom as an excuse to visit my house again. Geena already stayed overnight because Rafael said so... and Nina?"

I was into the story but then the translator who was translating it for whatever language to English stopped translating half the words are half English and another language it's very hard to follow a book when you can't understand what the written word is translators need to do better...
