Chapter 15 - The Walk in the Sun
One year later.
The afternoon sun cast a warm golden light over the lush green lawn behind the European-style mansion. The fountain splashed merrily, its crystal waters sparkling under a clear blue sky.
Ethan walked briskly across the soft grass without a cane, his legs completely healed, his stride strong and confident.
A short distance away, Sammy was kicking a soccer ball across the lawn, his bright laughter ringing through the garden. Rebecca sat on a wooden bench nearby, sipping tea and smiling warmly at her son.
Ethan walked up to them, stopping beside Sammy to kick the soccer ball gently back to the laughing boy.
He looked up at the sky, feeling the cool breeze against his skin, a deep, profound sense of peace filling his chest.
The evil that had threatened to destroy his family was locked behind iron bars forever. The pain, the weakness, and the tears were gone.
