Chapter 16 - Amber Li (2/2)

”You will what?” There was a different kind of defiance in Luna's eyes. She didn't know this child and probably shouldn't poke her nose in someone else's business, but seeing the child about to cry again broke her heart.

The woman was about to pull the girl from Luna's hold when Luna slapped her hand away.

”You! How dare you?! Don't you know who I am?” The woman hissed at Luna. Her face scrunched up in disgust as she scrutinized Luna's appearance. ”How cheap,” she snorted.

Luna frowned back.

'What's wrong with this woman?'

”Are you this child's mother?” she asked. Luna wanted to know if this woman had the rights, or else she would never give the child back to her.

”No, but—”

”A relative perhaps?”

”No!”

Luna could see that the woman was losing her composure and about to lash out on her.

”Then what? You aren't her mother nor a relative. Who are you then? You have no rights to take her or to force her to do something she doesn't want to.”

People around them started to notice the commotion. When they heard what Luna said about the woman, they looked at her with curiosity. Some even sent her judgmental looks. The woman's face burned in shame, and she glared back at Luna. If looks could kill, she would have killed and stab Luna a thousand times already.
