Cecilia felt happy while looking at the current Adam. She remembered the small boy who would sometimes be alone and simply do nothing but study by himself like his life depended on it.
He had matured before his time and she would have loved to see him be more free. Sadly, life was what it was and it had not been good to them.
But now, things were marginally different.
Adam was not alone anymore. Even if anything happened to her, she knew that he would have people around him to support and help if needed. Be it friends, lovers, or even family.
She chuckled under her breath, "Life has not been easy for us and now you are walking your own path, my dear son. You are making your own choices and facing your own trials. How time flies, doesn't it?"
