Clara Goodman tightly hugged Amelia Wright, and behind Amelia's back where she couldn't see, tears finally fell uncontrollably.
She didn't dare to cry loudly, and she didn't even dare to let the tears keep flowing.
She was afraid Amelia would see, afraid the tears would drip onto Amelia's back and be felt.
Charles Allen in the front passenger seat turned back to see his wife like this and softly advised, "Grace, calm down, you can't get too emotional, don't scare the child."
Clara quickly wiped her tears, taking deep breaths.
She couldn't have another episode, her daughter had already been frightened by her, she couldn't scare her again.
After a while, Clara released Amelia, apologizing, "I lost my composure, seeing you reminded me of my unfortunate daughter, I must have scared you."
Amelia shook her head, pinching her thumb with her index finger idly.
The car fell silent.
Clara held onto Amelia's hand, even when her palms began to sweat she wouldn't let go.
