Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 121

Her mother was sitting in the same fold-out chair in the living room. She had a thin blanket wrapped around her and dark circles under her eyes.

As soon as Ella burst through the door, she looked up at her daughter with tears in her eyes. "You’re finally back. I was so worried!" She stood up and walked over to Ella.

"Mhm! And guess what! I found Dad!" said Ella cheerfully. As soon as she said that, Reginald walked into the room.

"Hello, honey. I’m so sorry for making you worry," he said quietly, walking over to his wife. He noticed the dark circles and puffy eyes, which made his heart break.

He watched as she ran over to him, hugging him while crying into his chest. "I was so scared that something bad happened. I thought you wouldn’t come back to me!" she cried.

"I know, I know. I’m so sorry for making you worry," he said gently, wiping the tears from her face with his finger. He could tell that she hadn’t slept all night waiting for him to return.

He bent over and kissed her on the cheek. "Everything is okay now. We even brought back many good things. I even found you a small surprise." He hoped that these items could cheer her up, at least a little bit.

"You coming back to me is the biggest gift," she said, hugging him once more. But a small part of her was happy that he had thought of her while he was away.

His heart warmed at her words. "Come, let’s go to the car so I can show you what we brought," he said and led her down.

On the way out, they bumped into Rayne and Julian, who were waiting outside.

"Rayne! Is that you? I’m so glad to see that you’re safe!" she exclaimed.

"Thank you, Mrs. Soto. I’m very happy to have run into Ella and Mr. Soto outside," replied Rayne with a smile.

The two chatted until they made it down to the car.

"Wow, dear! So many nice things!" exclaimed his wife as Reginald walked her over to the small trailer attachment.

Reginald smiled. "Yes, we found a number of decent items. Let’s talk about them once we get back inside. I don’t want prying eyes to know what we got."

The group then got to work, carrying in all of the newly obtained items. Rayne and Julian helped carry most of the heavier items, while the rest of them brought in the smaller ones. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

Working as a team, they finished carrying everything in rather quickly, and the previously empty living room was now filled with many pieces of furniture and boxes of supplies.
