"Mother……"

Consciousness struggled to emerge from the deepest abyss of chaos, and the little guy slowly opened his tired eyes, but in the end, he could only open them through a small crack.

The room remained unchanged—empty and silent, with the door tightly shut…

The only difference was that the light had dimmed, with only a few rays of the setting sun streaming in through the window, making it barely possible to see the surroundings.

However, this only made the space feel more oppressive and terrifying...

In such a dim and quiet room, endless loneliness enveloped the little guy, as if he were the only person left in the world, and even his breathing felt empty.

"Waaah... Darkness, Mommy, Mommy...!"

A tearful cry escaped her weak throat again, and she struggled to get up from the bed, slowly moving her body to the corner of the bed and sitting with her back against the corner.

I had never felt lonely before. The feeling of hunger also awakened along with my consciousness and grew stronger and stronger. I could even feel my chest pressed against my back.

Feeling a burning dryness in her throat as she swallowed, her little brows furrowed. She desperately wanted water, and her stomach was growling with hunger...

She tried her best to wipe away her tears with her two little hands, but in the next second, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and the person who came in was none other than her mother, whom she had been longing for for so long!

Pushing open the door, in the dim light, she saw the little one wiping away tears. Her heart, already on the verge of collapse, was now completely shattered.

"Baby, my baby...!"

She rushed to the bedside and hugged the child tightly, her voice gradually choking up and tears falling.

"Waaah, Mom, Mom!" All the grievances could no longer be contained the moment her mother appeared, and she burst into tears that were louder than before.

"Baby, Mommy is so sorry, it's all Mommy's fault!"

"I couldn't protect you properly, and you had to suffer. You must be very sad, baby...?"

"Waaah..."

The little body was completely pulled into her arms, the force was so great that she felt she couldn't breathe, but her mother didn't stop at all, and kept holding her tighter in her arms.

"Baby, my baby, sob..."

"Cough cough...!"

The little one suddenly coughed, and Wei'er, who was immersed in grief, realized that she had been holding the baby too tightly, and then panicked.

"I'm sorry, baby! Mommy didn't mean to! Mommy will let you go right now!"

"!!!?"

The moment she loosened her embrace slightly, Vera noticed the astonishing sight of the little one's neck and below.

"No, no, my baby! Why! Why did this happen!"

His expression became agitated again, his eyes fixed on the wound, his tone filled with guilt.

"Ugh... Ah!"

Vera carefully touched the wound with one hand, but the little guy immediately shrank back the moment he touched it.

"No, I'm sorry, baby! Mommy, Mommy didn't mean to!"

"Don't be afraid, Mommy will help you now!"

She gently held the child in her arms, and a holy light emanated from her chest. Then, a warm current flowed into the little body, making her feel comfortable and at ease.

Before long, the wound on his neck had completely healed, and the head injury no longer ached.

Even though the baby's injuries had healed, Wei'er still couldn't stop crying. She was heartbroken, and immense self-blame weighed heavily on her.

"Baby, baby... Waaah... I'm so sorry, Mommy is so sorry..."

"I've made you feel wronged, baby must really hate mommy..."

Tears also soaked the little guy's already damp cheeks. Not knowing how to comfort his mother to make her less sad, he clenched his little fists and chose to speak in his loudest, sweetest voice—

"I love you the most, Mom!"

"Mommy, don't cry! It's okay, Wei Bao is here, be a good girl and wait for Mommy...!"

Just a moment ago, she couldn't stop crying herself, but now she's comforting her mother.

Upon hearing this, Wei'er cried even harder. The child's obedience made her feel even more guilty for not being able to protect her beloved baby.

"...Baby, my darling, Mommy doesn't want you to see me like this, but Mommy really..."

"I love Mommy, I love her!"

The little one raised his two little hands and gently wiped away his mother's tears. Then... he tilted his head back and kissed his mother's crying cheek.

Vera was shocked. She looked down at the little one in her arms, who had just been secretly wiping away tears, and was now so strong, comforting her as his mother.

A thousand words I wanted to say, but in the end, I only managed a smile—

"Mommy loves you too, and always will~"

The two embraced quietly, seemingly oblivious to the passage of time; the world seemed to consist only of the other person…

After a long while, Wei'er finally stopped crying, gently stroking the baby's back, and softly spoke—

"Baby, Mommy will never let you suffer again. No matter what happens or who the other person is, Mommy will never back down again."

"Yes, Mom..."

"Coo coo~"

A third sound suddenly broke the silence. Looking in the direction of the sound, it was the protesting belly.

"Hey? Is the baby hungry?"

"Well……"

"Didn't those people give the baby lunch?"

The little head shook down...

Seeing this, anger and self-reproach rose again in Wei'er's eyes, and she said guiltily—

"I'm sorry, Mom, you went hungry. I'm so sorry..."

Just as Vera was about to fall into deep guilt again, the little one's sweet, childlike voice rang out—

"Mommy, let's go back...to find my sister, and eat, eat delicious food!"

"Hmm... let's go back and have something delicious~" The mother gave up her anger, realizing that the most important thing right now should be the baby.

"Sister Wei'er! You're back!"

It was completely dark by the time they returned to the palace villa, but Lily, who was anxiously looking out from in front of the gate, still spotted the two returning at a glance and rushed forward to greet them almost instantly.

"Little Wei Bao! You're finally back! I've been waiting forever!" She looked at the little one in Wei'er's arms with great surprise and couldn't help but reach out and rub her head.

"It's alright now, Lily, we're back~" Vera forced a smile onto her tear-reddened face—a genuine smile, of course.
