"Old woman, as long as my father and I are around, no one will dare to go against you. I promise," Nathan said as he hugged Ella back. His fat hands patted Ella's back as if trying to reassure her that he would always be by Ella's side and protect her.
The boy's hands seemed to want to give her strength, no matter how small they were compared to hers. It seemed as if Nathan was channeling his power to Ella.
"I trust you." Ella's face was filled with tears. She even sobbed with Nathan who was still in her arms.
Nathan let go of his embrace and wanted to raise his hand to wipe the tears off Ella's face. But suddenly, his body floated into the air and he was moved to the other side of the sofa.
Nathan could only stare when he saw his father had taken his place in front of Ella. His father was gently wiping Ella's tears. As he did so, Christian looked at his son with a warning look, as if to tell Nathan that he wouldn't be able to take his place.
