Archie and Benny were stunned when they saw tears running down Estella’s cheeks. They did not know if they should console her or not.

After all, it seemed like she was crying because their mother was hurt. In a way, she was responding to the outside world. It was great news for them.

However, their hearts broke at the sight of Estella’s watery eyes. They then turned to seek help from their mother, but the next thing they saw was their mother, frowning in pain as she washed her wound.

Roxanne tensed up for a second but shook her head. “I’m feeling much better. I’ll treat the wound, and it should be fine after that.”
