Mrs. Dragon was lucky Henry was standing right next to her. If it hadn't been for him, she would be in the great beyond where she belonged. I would have choked the life out of her.
Jeff and Monica tried to stop me, but Henry was faster. He forcibly removed my hands from his mother's neck and pushed me away before Jeff and Monica reached us.
"Are you crazy? What's gotten into you?" Henry's voice was filled with fury.
I knew if I were a man like him, he would have beaten me to a pulp. Mrs. Dragon clutched her neck, coughing as if she were about to choke to death. Even though her neck was swollen, I could tell she was exaggerating. But I was glad I had confronted her.
Her sons panicked, rushing to call an ambulance. I thought, "Can't they see she's pretending? She's after something, and that something is me."
