"I am fine. See? I can walk and even—humph—jump!" Rani proudly demonstrated her miraculous recovery to both her husband and son.
"Stop! What if you hurt yourself again?" Veer immediately grabbed her, his worry evident in his eyes.
"No, not in front of our son," she murmured, blushing as she lay helplessly in his massive arms. Shrihan turned away, cursing himself for witnessing this overly affectionate scene.
He was happy for his parents, truly, but there was no way he was going to endure them getting all lovey-dovey right in front of him.
"I should... leave you two alone then. I just wanted to check if Mother was alright." He prepared to exit, but Veer stopped him.
"No, we need to discuss something. I know I made a hasty decision to leave—"
"Shhh, we know why you did what you did. If I had been awake, I would have told you to do the same, so don't blame yourself," Rani said tenderly.
