The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

“Mommy!” Matteo’s voice echoed loudly in the ward. “Matt! My sweet little boy!” Sasha hugged him tight as she called his name, her voice almost breaking in tears. She could not believe she was holding Matteo in her arms again just when she thought she had lost him. In the meantime, Ian stood in the distance as he watched the exhilarated lot. He also wanted to run into his mother’s embrace, but he did not dare to. It was his fault that his brother almost ended up dying, and it was his fault his mother was severely injured.
