[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: THE SOUND OF SILENCE ~ DISTURBED]
It was the same man who had hit her in the past, who always came back home asking for money and money without asking where it came from. It was Lily's father, Mr Parker.
"Dad.." Lily's voice trailed, she didn't expect to see him in this state. What was this? Lily blinked, he looked worst than he was in the past.
Mr Parker struggled until he finally got on his feet. Then he resumed scratching his neck, then down to his body. His eyes looking bloodshot and dilated.
"I am someone's father too, please help me. Give me my mint!!!!" His voice startled Lily causing her to hide behind Raven.
The man in front of her no longer looked like her father, he was like a monster who had a time bomb on his head and would go off soon.
"Wh-at is he asking for?" Lily's question surprised the gardener, whose eyes moved from both Raven to Lily.
