While the cow recounted Lin Yao's story under the bright moonlight, Adam's baby hands rubbed his eyes.
Yet, his rosy lips curled into an amused smile.
'I guess Nova would jump in joy if she saw me now.' He turned his head to gaze at the horizon. 'Look, I'm going to rest like you wanted.'
Despite his humourous attempt, his smile trembled, and a deep frown creased his brows.
'Please, remain safe with Julius and Arun. I'll find a way to return before too much time passes on your side.'
Her naïve face appeared in his mind, followed by her cheerful smile, cat, and weird questions. Then, Julius' valiant posture showed up behind her. His genuine smile and bright hazel eyes caused his heart to pound in his chest for a second before Arun joined him. Blue flames danced around his mage's robes in an intricate show of mana control.
A deep sigh escaped his mouth as he bit his lips and closed his eyes.
