never trade my children

Oh. "Emmy sipped her tea." Not many, just six. "She replied nonchalantly."

Lilly was looking at Emmy as if she was looking at a ghost. "Emmy," she called.

Yes. "Emmy smiled."

"Not one, not two, not three, you gave birth to six! At once?" Lilly's mouth was wide open. "You must be kidding me," she refused to believe.

"Angels love me and grant me six children at once," Emmy smiled proudly.

"Emmy, have you gone crazy? Or did you damage your brain? perhaps your brain has been poisoned as well. You are still young for goodness sake and you already have six children yet you are proud of it," Lilly touched Emmy's head to confirm if she was alright before she frowned her brows.

"Stop acting like this, this matter is not bizarre at all," Emmy replied.

"What do you mean not bizarre? How are you going to take care of six children? Don't you know that this is another trouble for you," Lilly voiced out her concern.

Emmy merely smiled and shrugged. "I have already made my plans, It won't be a burden, at all". she said.

"What...?" Lilly didn't know what to say. "See how calm you are," she sighed. "Emmy, sis, tell me how I should help you, I swear your children will be mine," she said and couldn't help but imagine herself surrounded by six little children, she couldn't help but wipe away the imagination as soon as it came. "Just what unimaginable experience did she have?" she thought to herself.

Emmy could guess what Lilly was thinking and smiled. "No worries, naturally, when I need your help I will seek you out. As for now, everything is still under my control," she smiled confidently. "I promised Sam to be back around this time, let me take my leave."

Lilly did not reply and just stared at Emmy. "You are really going to be sold away just like that? "

"See you around," Emmy smiled and quickly left, afraid that Lilly would stop her.

Watching Emmy disappearing, two drop of tears escaped Lilly's eyes. "Why is life so hard on you?" She murmured to herself. Then her phone rang. "Hello," she picked it up. "Okay, I will be there," she said, and after the call was disconnected, she quickly left.

.....

Inside the hotel, Emmy bid her farewell to her children. Just as she was about to leave, Sonia stopped her.

"I can sense that you are not happy, what happened? Did someone troubled you?" she asked.

Emmy was taken aback for a while before smiling and shook her head. "You all are my happiness, looking at you all makes me happy and I forget my sorrows." She rubbed Sonia's hair affectionately. "I am perfectly fine, no one troubled me, just want to go out and look for money to take care of you and send you all to school. Then you will become a superstar." She forced a smile on her lips.

"Mother, we can work ourselves, no need to trouble yourself, leave us to it," Snow said.

Emmy smiled and shook her head. "What is the difference between making you work for yourself to survive and me not caring about you? Children, don't disobey me and allow me to fulfill the responsibilities of a mother on you," she said.

"Then let us help you," Dimitri interrupted her. "You can take one of my scales and trade it for money, a scale will fetch you the amount you need. Take it as helping you earn money," he said and transformed his leg to his beast tail, intending to remove one scale. But Emmy quickly stopped him by grabbing his hand on time.

Before Emmy could speak, Desmond's voice sounded. "I have a lot of treasure with me, you can trade them as well."

Emmy: "..."

"I can shave my wings for you," Dave said. "It can also fetch you money."

Emmy was dumbfounded. "What is with these children?" she thought to herself. And she was about to reject their opinion when another voice sounded.

"Mom, I have a better idea. I will transform into my original form, you just display me out. I am very beautiful and am sure those humans will love my beauty. You will just charge them some money so they will have the chance to admire my beauty," Sonia said proudly.

Emmy: "..."

"Leave this arrogant peahen, mother. My whole body is full of treasure, if I give you my fangs and you trade it for money, you will be rich for life," Sonia said arrogantly.

Emmy: "..."

Snow removed a silver crown from her head and stretched it out for Emmy. "Mother, this is also a treasure, I bet it will costs a lot," she said in a gentle voice.

Emmy was feeling sweet inside. She walked closer to Snow, took the crown from her, and put it back in the middle of her hair.

"I think wearing it is better than selling it, look at how beautiful you are," she smiled.

Snow and others' eyes were wide open in shock.

"Is this a rejection?" they all thought.

"It's a real mother's job to take care of their children and provide for their needs. Only incapable mothers will trade their children for money or trade something precious to their children for money. You all should drop the idea of trading yourselves for money even if it is the last option for us to survive," Emmy said sincerely. "You are my children, my flesh, my blood. Tell me, if I were to trade you for money, would you ever want me as your mother? Would you ever forgive me even if I were to apologize?"

"All of them remained silent."

Emmy smiled. "I am not a mother who wants money over her children. I will never, ever trade my children for money, even if it costs my life. I have already found the means to earn money and send you all to school. You must not work or trade anything that belongs to you. Allow me to take the responsibilities of a mother on you, okay?"

Everyone nodded their heads in unison.

Emmy smiled in satisfaction and took a final look at them before she left.

"She can't handle this alone." Snow's gentle appearance disappeared after Emmy left, and the room temperature turned low.

"Control your power, Phoenix. No, you are Snow. Please don't freeze us to death," Sonia commented.

"Oh," Snow replied, and the room temperature became normal again.

"We will see what we will do," Dimitri replied to Snow's earlier words.

All of them nodded their heads, and the girls went back to their room.
