Chapter 41

When I explained to my dad that I was covered in Mica’s slobber to help my wounds heal, the look on my Dad’s face was classic. Except for the part where he dropped me when he realised he was touching Micah’s saliva. Thankfully with Micah's swift movements, he was able to catch me. My mother was so mad at Dad that she even asked Sally to fetch her the frying pan. My Dad retreated quick-smart. My mother is the only person I have ever seen my father fear. Seeing him bolt inside the packhouse was hilarious. Micah carries me to my room and into the bathroom. My mother follows.
