Chapter 53 Witnessing Her Downfall

Everything happened too fast. Since Josephine didn’t make any noise after the bullet was shot in her face, everyone thought that Caleb was just pretending to shoot at her.

“Josephine!” Of course, Lewis witnessed the scene. He quickly reached out to steady her on her

feet.

Josephine was in so much pain that a burst of colors exploded before the darkness that was known as her vision. She almost lost her balance due to the pain.

Only when Lewis shouted her name did everyone finally turn around to see what happened. Then, they realized Caleb had just shot Josephine.

Lily quickly wrapped her arms around Caleb and pulled him away while pretending to be mad at him. “Behave, Caleb!”

However, Caleb refused to obey her command. Instead, he struggled against his restraints because he wanted to shoot Josephine again. His father, Derek Moss, quickly put a stop to his mischievous

antics.

“Now is not the time for you to fool around, Caleb! Hand over your toy!” Derek grabbed the toy gun intending to snatch it from his son’s hands but the latter continued hugging it to his chest

stubbornly.

“It’s mine!”

Lewis let go of Josephine’s hand so that he could check her eye’s condition. Fortunately, the bullet only made contact with the corner of her eye, but thanks to the shot, her eye was completely red.

He tilted his head to look at Caleb, who forgot to react out of fear toward his icy gaze.

Lily quickly did her best to ease the atmosphere. She approached Josephine and pretended to examine her reddened eye in concern. “I think she’s fine. It’s just a toy gun, so the impact

shouldn’t hurt.”

However, Josephine’s affected eye was extremely red. The spot that was hit by the bullet started to show flecks of blue and purple as well, signifying the formation of a bruise.

Lewis glanced in Lily’s direction. “How did you know that it wouldn’t hurt at all, Lily?”

“It’s just a rubber bullet, isn’t it? How much pain can it cause? Lewis, I know you care about Josephine a great deal, but you shouldn’t be arguing with a child over this petty matter.”

“Then, should I argue with you over this so–called petty matter? As his mother, how are you going to resolve this situation?” A trace of mockery flashed across Lewis‘ eyes.
