Chapter: 420

“Zoe, how’re you feeling?”

Zoe gritted her teeth and said, “I’m fine. I can hold on.”

Elena suddenly grabbed my hand and said, “Mom!”

She pointed to the children of the Thorn Edge Pack, who were crying in fear. “Mommy, you have to help them! Please!”

Zoe assessed the situation quickly and immediately came up with a plan

“Debra, there are too many kids. We need to split up and take care of them in groups. I’ll take charge of the Roz Town kids. They know me and trust me.”

Then she pointed at the other side of the gym and said, “You’re the future Luna of the Thorn Edge Pack, so you should take care of their kids. I believe in you.”

Without giving me the chance to response, she rushed to the Roz Town children. I had to head in the opposite direction, to the children of the Thorn Edge Pack.

Facing the trembling children, I turned on my phone flashlight so that they could see.

I comforted them in a soft voice, “Don’t be afraid. Come with me. I’ll take care of you.”

Most of the kids flocked to me, but I could hear a child crying in the distance.

I pointed the flashlight in the direction of the sound and found that it was Betty, the little girl who had given Elena some snacks just now.

Her hand had been cut by stray Light bulb shard, blood trickling down the back of her hand.

Betty looked flustered as soon as she saw me. Instead of running to me for help, she tried to get away and hide.

“Betty, don’t be afraid. I’m Elena’s mother. I’ll take you to safety.”

I approached Betty slowly. After seeing that she wasn’t avoiding me anymore, I carefully scooped her up and led the children out of the gym.

When I saw that all the kids were out of harm’s way, I sighed in relief.

No one had been too badly hurt.

“Ma’am, how are the kids?”
