Chapter: 152

Somehow, there was a lonely atmosphere in the expressionless Astelle’s face.

‘Why do you look like that?’

Kaizen couldn’t understand what Astelle was thinking.

When he thought about it, Astelle was in a similar situation to this child.

Without parents, brothers, or friends, she was living in a remote countryside.

It could be that Astelle took care of this child with all her heart because there was no one she could care for and love.

Astelle standing in the darkroom looked exceptionally lonely.

Kaizen’s heart ached to see Astelle like that.

He carefully hugged Theor so that he did not wake up.

“I’ll take him to the bedroom.”

Kaizen hugged Theor and went outside.

Astelle glanced at the back of him hugging Theor.

Around dawn, Astelle opened her eyes.

She lit a candle and looked for red spots on her wrist.

There was no trace of the red spots on her white wrist.

Astelle pulled out a bottle of potion that had been hidden by the bedside.

She took the bottle and went out into the hallway.

There was no one in the dark hallway.

She opened the door and entered Theor’s room.

Blynn, asleep on a cushion, found Astelle and shook its tail.

“Shh.”

Astelle quieted the dog and approached Theor, who was sleeping on the bed.

Theor was asleep buried under a blanket.

Astelle took the potion bottle out of her arms and dripped it into Theor’s sleeping eyes.
