Mid-May marked the early signs of summer in Gills City.
The Piers' Mansion, which resembled a garden, was brimming with life everywhere. Pink roses were blooming all over, the lotus leaves in the pond downstairs had already emerged, tender and fresh, while the banana plants on one side stood taller than a person, perfect for providing cool shade.
Abigail liked to sit on the second-floor balcony whenever she had nothing to do, rocking the cradle with one hand and enjoying the sun.
Clark Stone had unexpectedly not troubled her since that day.
Abigail passed the next half-month peacefully while little Teddy celebrated his thirty-ninth day in this world.
Elder Piers checked the old Almanac and noted that today was a good day to celebrate little Teddy's one-month milestone.
For the child's protection, it was more of a family dinner than a full-fledged banquet.
