(Arata)
My family stayed by my side after that, helping me with the recovery process. Baba didn't speak about my pregnancy, nor it came up in front of him but I knew the topic would make him explode, one day or the other.
But he ensured to let me know of his abhorrence of Karsten so I didn't allow Karsten to come see me again.
Chan and Miranda came to visit me, bringing flowers and fruits.
"Everyone at the office is thinking about you, Arata," Chan said with a hug while Miranda arranged flowers in a vase and nodded.
"Yes, we miss you girl. Can't wait to have you back with us." Miranda walked over and affectionately rubbed my arm.
The bandages from my face had been removed and now only scars remained. I could only hope onlookers wouldn't be repulsed.
"Thanks, guys, but I don't think I will be returning to that place. I am going back to Angel City."
They exchanged sad glances at each other.
