Luna had gone missing.
Charles finally started to grow anxious. He grabbed hold of a nearby servant's shoulders nervously and asked, "Where's Luna? Where did she go?"
It was raining heavily outside, and she had just given birth. What if something terrible happened to her when she left home without supervision?
The servant was being shaken so violently that her voice trembled. "Ms. Luna has...gone out."
With that, she pointed in the direction of the back door and added, "That way."
As soon as she finished her sentence, Jim kicked the door open and sprinted in the direction the servant had pointed.
Charles glared at the servant helplessly then quickly chased after him.
As soon as the two of them ran out of the backyard, they caught sight of Luna.
She had not gone far at all.
However, she was no longer holding the empty swaddle in her hands, and instead, she was clutching the dead baby.
Joshua's black trench coat was draped over her body,
and she was walking very slowly.
Next to her, Joshua held up a big black umbrella above them, dressed only in his shirt and trousers. The two of them walked slowly in the rain, and the water drenched Joshua's entire body, but there was not even a drop of rain on Luna at all.
The rain continued to pour.
Apart from the sound of raindrops and footsteps, the only sound that could be heard was Luna's low murmurs as she held the baby close to her. "Don't be scared, baby; Mommy's bringing you home right now.
"The rain will stop soon, and as soon as the sun comes up, there'll be a rainbow. Have you ever seen a rainbow, my baby?
