Luna was unconscious for a long time.
During this period, her condition did not stabilize at all. Instead, she ran a high fever recurrently and dreamed all sorts of nightmares.
There was a huge fire in her dream, and she could see Neil and Theo trapped in it. They were shouting at her for help, but she could not go in to save them at all. No matter how hard she tried, she could not get closer to them at all. It was as though there was a layer of transparent glass separating her from them.
Luna could only watch helplessly as the fire and explosion blew Neil and Theo apart.
Finally, she sat down in front of the burning house, crying and crying.
The dream played out the same way many times after that. However, each time, the people trapped in the fire were different. Sometimes it was Nellie, and sometimes Nigel…
Luna was stuck in her nightmares and could not wake up from them.
By the time she finally regained consciousness, a month had passed.
When she opened her eyes and found herself staring up at the hospital’s white ceiling, Luna no longer recognized the world she was in.
Why did she have to wake up?
Her baby was gone, and she could not save Nigel either.
Luna would rather die herself than go through the pain of watching Nigel die before her.
Gwen sat by her bedside, her eyes red and swollen from all her crying.
“Luna.“ Gwen could not stop the tears from rolling down her face when she saw Luna wake up. She reached out to hold Luna’s hand. “You’re finally awake. I thought… I thought you had gone to heaven with Neil…“
Luna’s entire body stiffened when she heard this. She struggled to prop herself up before frowning at Gwen. “What are you talking about? What do you mean, ‘go to heaven with Neil’? Did you make a mistake? Neil is my second son. The baby that Joshua got rid of doesn’t even have a name yet.“
