Valerie's POV “Mommy, I have a surprise for you”. Landon said, snuggling close to me, I wrapped my free hand around me, cuddling him close to my side. “Is it that painting? The one without Papa in it?” Landon gasped. “It was supposed to be a surprise.” He glared at Layla who was sitting on my lap. I got discharged today after staying in the hospital for two days. Since the day I sent Leonard and Emma out of my hospital room, he hasn't come back to check on me, not that I'm bothered. I kept thinking of a way to get back at him for bringing someone from my past to torment me. Layla’s cry pulled me out of my thoughts, “Hey, what is the matter?” she pointed at Landon. “He kept making scary faces because I hinted at his surprise,” She said, wiping her fake with tears in her tiny hand.
