I Died The Day My Husband’s Girlfriend Did A Magic Trick. Chapter 14
The social worker paused before continuing.
“Leo, your mom has gone somewhere very far away.”
“She won’t be coming back.”
Leo looked up, his eyes blank.
“Somewhere very far away?”
“Like Grandpa, buried in the ground?”
The social worker nodded, her expression pained.
Leo went completely still.
He had been to his grandpa’s funeral.
He knew what that meant.
No one would ever hold him through the night when he was sick again.
No one would make him macaroni and cheese again.
“No…”
His eyes reddened instantly.
“I don’t want Mom to die…”
He remembered that day at the theater, how he had clapped while the snakes were poured over the box.
He had even pointed at me and said I was bad.
The next second, he burst into sobs and threw himself into the social worker’s arms.
“I was wrong!”
“I don’t want Josephine anymore!”
“I want Mom! Give me back my mom!”
His heartbroken cries echoed through the room.
I floated above him, watching.
But my heart felt nothing.
The tears had come too late.
