Chapter 17: If only you know the whole story

(Cry POV)

I went down in my crutches to see my mom only to find her with Leon. What the hell? Is he serious right now?

“Mom, what is he doing here?” I asked in an unwelcoming tone.

“Hey now, Cry! Don’t be rude! He saved my life and…wait! You two know each other?” She asked.

“Yes ma’am! We are actually classmates!” Leon said.

“Oh wow! Really?” Mom exclaimed.

“Mom, what the hell happened?” I butted in, trying to divert the topic away from the current one.

“Oh, a man was trying to rob me and Leon here, has managed to scare him away.” She said.

I was shocked and dumbfounded. I was frozen for a while before I rushed towards her.

“Mom, please try to be careful next time. Have someone accompany you while going home.” I said.

“I know, son! I promise I’ll be more careful. How’s your leg by the way?” She asked.

“It’s getting better!” I answered.

“Cry, I hope you’re following what the nurse had advised you.” Leon commented.
