"Tsk! Who knows that you are a cry baby at this age. Why are your eyes tearing up when i was the one who was going to die?" Luci teased his mother when he noticed her eyes brimming as he looked away.
Though he commented on her, his cheeks had tried red and his body had heated. She knew that he was trying to bring attention to her so that no one would notice that he was embarrassed but did not call him out.
She chuckled softly as she let go of his body and placed him back on the ground.
"Alright, pick a fruit and eat it as a reward for your bravery. I have noticed a few scratches on the face of the beast.
As a kid, you worked hard. I am proud of you!" she patted his shoulders as she picked up a fruit and passed it to him. But he took no initiative to take it.
He looked at her with bulged eyes. His lips parted but not a single voice came out. He looked shocked.
