LIFE AFTER PRISON - Season 1 Episode 33

Diane’s red lips parted open slightly and her face was that of utter bewilderment. She originally wanted Severin to refuse Henry’s offer because it was only due to Severin that she was able to sit there and have lunch with Henry that day. It did not cross her mind that Severin would just put the key into his pocket.

“Glad to hear that!” When he saw that Severin had finally accepted the gift, Henry smiled and quickly said to Selene, “Selene, I’d like to eat some cake too. Can I have a slice?”

“Okay!” Selene smiled.

Diane immediately unboxed the cake and had Selene cut it into several pieces to share with

everyone.

“You’re not just cute! You’re a good girl too!” Charmaine could not help but pat Selene’s head.

“Have some cake!” Selene smiled, then ran back to her seat.

“All right, let’s have our cake!” Henry nodded with a smile. After taking a bite of the cake, he seemed to have been overcome with emotion. “You know, it’s been so long since I’ve eaten cake. The food at my birthday celebrations are all big main courses, and oddly enough, we rarely eat cakes anymore!”

“You should have some more then!” Charmaine chuckled.

“Haha!” Henry laughed too.

“Here’s to you, Severin.” Henry then raised his wine glass and said, “I’d probably be six feet under without your help that day!”

Diane raised her wine glass too, but she was still puzzled over the whole ‘save my life’ thing. “By the way, Mister Henry, when did our Severin save your life? He just ‘came back’, didn’t he? Did you know each other before?”

That was when Charmaine explained the incident. “Mister Severin is a prodigious doctor. Even the specialists at the hospital said that he’s incredible!”

“Hehe.” Severin shrugged. “It was nothing!”
