ELI'S WORRY

When they found Eli and the kids, Jackson excused himself to get his wishing bell. He hung the bell on a tree branch and clapped his hands thrice to pray solemnly for his wishes to come true. Then, he returned to where everyone was, chatted with them for a little more time, and even bought some charms for the kids. 

"Thank you, Jackson. I really appreciate it." Neon expressed his gratitude while keeping the charm inside his bag. 

Andrei wrote 'thank you' on his writing board as well and Jackson caressed the little boy's head gently. 

The five of them looked around the temple and took pictures together which brought so much joy to Ceres and Belle's heart. 

[I wish we could stay like this forever.] Ceres told Belle mentally. [Although I had a family in the past, I couldn't even bring them out for fear that they will be used against me.] 

(We can always go somewhere with just Jackson and Neon. I'll let you borrow my body during the whole trip.)
