38. Too Much Progress

Rachel nodded. “Please don't take my trust for granted. Take good care of Sky. If something bad happens to her, Lucas and I will kill you."

Edmund smiled faintly. “Please watch over us carefully. You will know that I can be relied on and always keep my promises.”

"That's called having fun, Mama. Why didn't you wake me up?"

"We didn't want to disturb your sweet dreams, Dear," Rachel said while hugging her daughter.

"How did Mama know I had a nice dream? I dreamed of playing with a baby pangolin! I brought candy to invite lots of ants. It was happy to see lots of food."
