"I understand." Neon takes her hands to stop her from wiping her tears, revealing tears on her face. The embarrassed woman looks away as she starts sniffling once again. "No, you don't, I have a son and he's still with his father." "Please stay calm, I'll do what I can to help you."Before Neon could explain himself, he finds himself being pulled by the collar as Drusilla closes the gap between them.Her head tilts to the side as she widely opens one eye. "Did you say you can do something?""Yes." He says, with caution, as he proceeds to remove her hands from his shirt. "I can help you."Those words relay differently to Drusilla, echoing inside her head as it interprets into many meanings."How?" She asks. "It's simple, all you have to do is help me, to help you, to help us."Her brows furrow with irritation as his words are complicated, she chants his words in her head, trying to unravel the meaning of his words as she divides them into bits, at the end, she ends up shaking he

"Come in." Neon answers from inside. "I brought tea."With his head, he points towards his cabinet so she can drop the tea. Although he just arrived, his bed has already become a pool of papers. Nervously she looks around, her hands are sweaty as she opens her mouth and closes it, watching if Neon saw."You never told me what happened to Maura," she says.Neon Freezes mid-air, almost like he suddenly stopped functioning. "I still don't know how you are acquainted with my wife," Neon says, resuming his work. "Maura and I met several years ago when I went on a vacation. We grew close and befriended each other for three weeks." She tells him with a sad expression."You said 'for'..." slowly, Neon turns around, his ears perking as he catches her words. "The Maura I know won't easily let go of the people she calls friends." "I don't know, I got back home and tried calling but her line was unreachable." "I see, Maura went somewhere far away, we separated and she won't be coming back

For a while, the earth stands still as they digest the tone of the single word she uttered.Her face, like a dog ready to pounce, worries the couple. "...." They stare at her, waiting to find out who'll break the thin ice of awkwardness. Suddenly, Neon steps forward with a nervous laugh, overshadowing Drusilla as he covers their view, redirecting their gazes towards him. "Haha, forgive my wife, she's a bit sensitive to family issues, I mean we wouldn't want such a thing for our families right."Within the seconds that he manages to avert their gaze, he holds Drusilla by her shoulder and shakes her to awaken her senses. "Oh… well that's understandable." Sharon declares as she steals a glance from George, who stands guard."If there's anything we can do to help, then please, let us know, my wife and I will be more than willing to help," Neon says and he hands over his card.George, although unhappy about taking help from others, reluctantly accepts Neon's business card with his head

Shock is not enough to define what Maura feels at the moment. As she slowly drives inside, she stares at Neon who seems to have arrived much earlier than usual due to a certain someone. She pulls up her car in the parking lot and with fear turns off her engine and gets out of the car. Neon stands before the house with one arm crossed as the other stretches out to her.She knows too well what he wants as she starts walking towards him with her eyes down and cold sweat dripping down her face, guilt was written all over her as she thinks quickly of what to say. Finally, when she's close enough, her lips separate as she sighs deeply."Listen…" Before she gets the opportunity to speak, Neon holds up his hand, automatically silencing her as she chokes on her words. "The keys." He demands. Like that, she ultimately gives in to his demand as she hands over the car keys. Neon starts to walk away grumpily while she follows closely behind.Upon reaching the door, Neon opens it quickly an

With her hands on her mouth, as she realises the figure before, she pulls Neon’s hand and turns him towards her.Like a statue, Neon stands still, his cheek all red with small blood at the corner of his lip, she extends her sleeve to wipe away the blood, almost teary from having him protect her, and yet, she wonders what would have happened to her if she took the hit instead."How dare you disrespect my daughter in such a manner that you even get to clone her,” the angry woman explodes barely being held back, not minding the wound she’s inflicted on him.Drusilla, understanding who she was talking about snaps, now it’s her turn to protect him, as she hides him behind her back despite him being taller than her, she was going to face the woman one on one, one woman to another."I'm not a clone,” she corrects her."Oh yes you are, and you should be ashamed of yourself, you just called yourself by my daughter's name.”Silence falls upon her as she realises the woman wasn’t lying. She trem
