Bab 294: MIXED BLESSINGS

[Music Recommendation: One Sweet Day ~ Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men]

"Mom..." Lily called her mother again, walking closer to hold her hand, but Azalea moved back, hiding behind Raven.

"You said we were going to see Raven. He needs me... he needs me right now," Azalea mumbled, hitting Raven's back.

Lily used her shaky hands to cover her mouth, trying to stifle her tears. "Wh-y," she raised her eyes to look at Raven as if asking him what happened to her mother.

Raven sighed, going forward to hold Lily. He already knew that she would be heartbroken seeing her mother in this condition. As he walked forward to console Lily, Azalea held him back.

Lily wiped her tears, trying to compose herself in front of her mother. She cleared her throat.

"Hello," she waved at her. "My name is Lily." Lily stretched her hand forward to shake Azalea's. Though she was shaking, she tried to be strong in front of her mother.
