"They're fine. We're reading a bedtime story right now. Don't worry about them, Mia. Just take care of Adam, Emily reassured her.
"Thank you, Emily," Mia said, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders.
"Of course. Take care," Emily responded before hanging up.
Mia put her phone away and looked at Adam, who was already drifting into sleep. She settled into the chair beside his bed. After a while, scrolling through her phone to check messages and emails, and then reading some news, she didn't realize when she fell asleep. In her sleep, she felt someone gently lift her and carry her to a soft bed, covering her with a blanket. She thought she was dreaming.
