A de Russe Christmas Miracle (de Russe Legacy Book 8) Page 6
Dane looked at the man in shock. It would have been simple to discount him, a fantasy of a zealot. But somehow, given what he was seeing before him in his father’s healthy stance, Dane couldn’t think of any other explanation, either. Oddly enough, what de Tormo said made a hell of a lot of sense.
“My father told me that Raphael said I had sent him,” he said. Then, his eyes widened. “I summoned him with my prayers?”
De Tormo smiled; he couldn’t help it. “It is as good an explanation as any,” he said. “They say that Christmas Eve is when angels walk the earth. Mayhap, we have been witness to such an event. In any case, we should not question it. We should rejoice and give thanks that your father has lived to see another day.”
Dane, Trenton, and Cort couldn’t have agreed more. As de Tormo headed over to greet Gaston, the three of them watched as the priest was pelted by some well-aimed snowballs. It was a great mystery to them all, perhaps the greatest mystery they had ever faced. But as de Tormo said, it was not up to them to question why. Perhaps a miracle had, indeed, occurred and they would, indeed, give thanks and rejoice that their father lived to see another day.
In the years to come, the children of Gaston de Russe, Dane and Trenton included, would speak of that Christmas Day when their father was given the greatest gift of all – a true and righteous miracle that all of the physics in London couldn’t explain away. Gaston’s cancerous throat had somehow gone into remission, and no one seemed to know how or why.
But Dane and Trenton knew.
It was a matter of a little faith… and, perhaps, a wish upon that bright and shining Christmas star on a night when angels walked the earth.
