Tiana was putting on a short gown and her legs were exposed as she lay on the couch. Nicklaus brows creased as he took in the sight;
Why is she wearing something as tiny as that when it is so cold? She is shivering, but she can't even wear a sweater?
Nicklaus thought for a moment before going closer to her, but he heard something that made his leg freeze at a spot;
''Mommy… mommy… please, don't leave, I beg you… ''
His whole body froze as he heard her whimper. Her face was pale, and she was covering her ears with her hands;
''Mommy… ''
She cried again, a tear trickling down her eye and dropping on her hand. Nicklaus did not understand what was happening. Was her mom dead?
He stood at a spot unable to move for good five minutes before he walked closer and squatted in front of her, he stared at her, not knowing what to do; he had not been in such a situation before.
