Luna lay unconscious in the hotel until 3 a.m. in the afternoon.
She got a call from Neil at 3 p.m. in the afternoon.
The little guy’s voice drifted in from the other end of the phone. He sounded fairly excited. “Mommy, how far away are you? Nellie and I really miss you! “
Hearing her son’s voice, Luna’s heart softened and melted.
She held onto her phone for a few seconds in silence, then finally lowered her voice and answered, “ Mommy… can’t come back today. I’m still in Sea City.“
On the other end of the phone, the little guy paused, then his voice turned calm in an instant. “Is there a problem?“
“One of Mommy’s friends was involved in an accident.“
The little guy on the other end of the phone was very understanding.
He pursed his lips. “I understand. I’ll explain the situation to Nellie properly, she’ll understand and won’t get angry at you or make a fuss about it. You can stay there and take care of your friend, just tell me when you’ll be back and Nellie and I will be ready to welcome you home. If there’s anything you need the three of us to help you with, just let us know.
We’ll always be your strongest and unwavering backup.“
At her son’s words, she couldn’t hold in her tears any further and started crying.
Since she found out about the incident with Gwen, she had been filled with guilt and self-blame.
Most of the people around her blamed her for it.
Even Joshua said directly to her face that it was her fault such a chilling incident happened to Gwen.
When she faced problems and difficulties, her children were the only ones who cared about her as a person, and not about the issue at hand.
Finally, once her tears started flowing, the dam holding back her tears broke and they poured out of her in gushes.
Luna held onto her phone with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, forcing herself to keep her sobs silent.
Neil listened to her quietly on his end of the phone.
