Chapter 115 Tragedy (Two)

• “Taylor, honey. How are you?” Ryan asked her, going over to scoop her up and kissing her on both cheeks, a little worried that she did not show any reaction to seeing him. It had never happened before. She was always giddy and beside herself with happiness anytime he came around. He seriously hoped that the kids were not beginning to get used to his absence.
• “Dada … dada come.” She said, at last, resting her head on his shoulder.
• “Yes, baby. I’ve come to see you and Tyler. Where’s papa?” Ryan asked her, sitting down with her on the sofa and looking her over. She had a bad case of heat rashes, and even now, was scratching at her neck where the rashes were abundant. He rubbed her back and chest, trying to get her some relief, and got up with her to put on the air conditioner but saw that it was already on. It just wasn’t working.
