After a while, Audrey approached Shaun again. His hand was resting on the edge of the couch, so she gently turned his hand over and pushed the lollipop she had prepared earlier into his palm. In a solemn tone, she said, “Eat this, Shaun. It’ll make the pain go away. Eat it…”

Soon, the familiar sound of an ambulance’s siren cut through the air. It was coming from downstairs. The paramedics rushed up and wheeled Shaun away in a wheelchair.

As soon as they were outside, they bumped into Yuna and James.

Yuna lunged toward Shaun when she spotted him and fell into a half-kneeling position in front of the wheelchair. With tears rolling down her face, she wailed, “My dearest son, what happened? It’s all my fault! I didn’t take good care of you!”
