Chapter 218

• Malachi was near the stairs but he turned back to face her. He was too shocked to string a sentence together. “Adara, I…”
• “I don’t care what you want. He was prepared to die with you tonight, if nothing else matters to you anymore, that should! I suggest you take some time to stop feeling sorry for yourself and start acting like the father you should now be to all of us!” Adara turned on her heel and headed towards the stairs.
• I stood there for a few seconds, shocked. I hadn’t expected that from her. Malachi started laughing and then I joined him. We laughed until tears ran down our cheeks and we had to stop to catch our breath.
