Luna stood outside the pharmacy and looked through the glass door at Neil as she sighed helplessly. It was difficult at times for her to believe that her three angels—Nigel, Neil, and Nellie—were Joshua’s children. That man did not deserve to have such obedient children.
“Mommy.“ Luna had spaced out, and by the time she snapped out of her daze, Neil had gotten out of the pharmacy with a tube of medicinal ointment at hand.
He grabbed hold of Luna’s hand. “Let’s go home. I ‘ll help you apply the medicine! “ He stayed silent for a moment before he lifted his head to look at her. “ Don’t be too bothered about that scumbag. We can still achieve what we want even without him! “
Luna sighed and clutched his hand tightly. “I believe you.“
As long as her children were with her, she believed she could overcome every obstacle that came her way.
Perhaps it was a tiring day that as soon as she got home and applied the ointment onto her wound, Luna immediately laid down on her bed and fell into a deep slumber.
The moon shone brightly in the night sky.
After making sure that Luna was indeed asleep, Neil climbed out of bed gently. Then, with the help of the
phone’s flashlight, he carefully opened Luna’s bandage.
He smeared another layer of ointment onto her scalded skin. He knew there was a lot on his mother’s mind because of what had happened, and she was probably distracted. He was afraid that she had not applied the proper amount and that her wound would take ages to heal, so he got up and applied it for her.
As he was doing so, Neil silently promised he would make that scumbag pay for what he had done to his mother.
