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.“
Luna still recalled all the dreams she had while she was still unconscious. She glared at Gwen and
snapped, “Don’t you dare curse my son! I know you’re my friend, but that doesn’t mean you can spout
nonsense like this! “
Gwen must have been mistaken!
Neil was the healthiest, happiest child of the three. He was Nigel and Nellie’s happy pill. How could he
possibly have…
Gwen lowered her head and wiped her tears away. “
Luna…“ she sobbed in a choked voice. “Everyone said we shouldn’t tell you the truth, but I don’t want to
keep it from you anymore.“
She lifted her head to gaze at Luna, her eyes as red and swollen as ripe peaches. “Luna, Neil is…gone.“
Luna felt as though someone had hit her right in the back of her head. There was a buzzing in her ear,
and she could no longer hear what Gwen was saying.
The only thing in her mind right now was the three syllables Gwen had uttered.
Neil was gone. Neil…was gone. Impossible!
How could such a healthy, cheerful, and intelligent child be gone?
“You’re lying to me! You’re lying to me! “ Luna covered her ears and howled, “That’s impossible !
Impossible! “
She ripped the IV line out of her hand and crawled out of her bed, not caring that blood was trickling
down from her hand and staining her gown bright red.
She leaped off her bed and stormed out of the room like a crazy woman, shrieking, “Neil is still at
summer camp abroad! I ‘m going to find him! I ‘m going to find him and prove you wrong ! Gwennie, you
haven’t seen my Neil before, have you? He’s such a handsome little boy! “
“Luna…“ Gwen tore out of the room after Luna, trying to catch up with her.
However, to her surprise, she could not keep up with Luna at all. How could a well-rested woman like her
be unable to keep up with someone who had been unconscious for a month?
Luna made her way to the elevators.
