Sammy was shaken to the core even after arriving home. She immediately looked for her son and held him in her embrace.
Silent tears fell from her eyes. She didn't know what to do after coming home. Since she was a doctor, she had attended to her wounds the second she walked inside.
Little Edward embraced his mother not knowing what to do. His small hands would occasionally wipe her tears away attempting to stop them.
Alas, it was all in vain for the more he wiped, the more they fell."Mommy, where does it hurt? I will kiss it better."
His words fueled the pain she felt inside. If that man didn't come to their rescue, two innocent souls would have lost their mothers on this day.
It wasn't death that scared her. It was the thought of her son growing up without her. Who will embrace him when he needs hugs?
Who will comfort him when he is sad? She didn't want her son to be like her. Deprived of maternal love and. Judged by the world.
