Chapter 399: Chapter 297: Mature and Steady Sister

"..."

The boy looked at his suddenly appearing sister, puzzled, tilting his head.

He didn’t understand why his sister was crying before him or why she was there at all.

"I’m sorry... Did I scare you?" she said, wiping away her tears, her smile still gentle.

She saw him, the person she had been searching for, her very first life.

It was a past about him that she had never known.

"It seems," she smiled, "that the two of us may have something in common... That’s why I want to return all the happiness, all the tenderness you’ve given me."

"..."

The boy just kept looking at her, puzzled, not understanding what she was saying.

"I’m sorry, I was just going on about myself."

Eve took a deep breath to suppress the surge of emotions within her.

At that moment, there were more important things to do.

"Are you alone?" Eve asked. "Standing here all this time must be tiring, thirsty, and cold too, right? Do you want to come with me?"

"..." The boy just shook his head, indicating he didn’t want to leave.

"Why?" Eve crouched down, asking him softly, "Why do you keep staying here?"

"..." The boy didn’t speak, just looked around as if hoping to see someone, but he found no one and let his head droop down again, defeated.

"Is that so? I see..."

Eve quickly understood the boy’s reasons, her smile tinged with bitterness.

"You..." Eve asked softly, "are waiting here for your mom, right? Because she said she’d come for you, so you have to wait here, right?"

"..." This time, the boy nodded.

"I see," Eve said, extending her hand to him. "Then... let’s go together to find your mom."

The boy tilted his head, looking at Eve’s outstretched hand but made no move to grasp it.

"I know," Eve continued, "you’ve been waiting here for a long time, haven’t you? Always waiting here because of a single promise, firmly believing and just waiting... If you can’t meet your parents by waiting, then let’s go find your mom by ourselves."

"..." The boy blinked at her but still did not take her hand.

Clearly, there was distrust in his eyes.

Even for him, it was hard to trust this strange sister who had suddenly appeared before him.

Eve, of course, understood what he was thinking, but knowing all this only clarified for her how to convince the boy.

"Your mom," she said, "hasn’t come for so long, something must have happened, right? Generally, a mother wouldn’t let her child wait this long."

"..." The boy’s wariness lessened a bit, captivated by Eve’s words.

"Your mom," Eve added, "must be lost, right? She doesn’t know where she is now nor where to go. She must be feeling lost, scared, clutching her head in agony. So, this time, it’s up to you to find your lost mom..."

"..." Clearly, the boy completely believed her words and also trusted Eve. He looked at Eve with urgency and determination in his eyes.

"Come with me," Eve reached out her hand again, "to rescue your mom... It’s okay, I’m not a bad person. I definitely won’t hurt you, so trust me."

"..."

This time, the boy finally nodded and reached out to gently grasp Eve’s hand.

Feeling the small, familiar, warm hand in hers, Eve felt reassured.

But at the same time, she felt anguish in her heart.

Eve clearly knew that the boy’s mother had undoubtedly abandoned him.

As a mother, she chose to abandon her child, whom she saw as a burden, the root of all her misfortune.

For her, it was leaving behind the past and moving towards the future.

Thus, Eve was worried, should she really bring the boy back to his mother?

If so, it might not be a good thing for him.

But perhaps there was another possibility that upon their meeting again, they could reconcile.

Unlike herself, whose parents abandoned her, this child’s mother truly loved him. She just couldn’t bear life’s pressures and after enduring for so many years, she finally broke down and made that choice.

Maybe, she regretted it now and just seeing her child again could change her heart.

That possibility was slim, but Eve hoped it existed.

Although he taught Eve to let go of her own parents, she understood that it was an unhealable wound in life. Other than facing it with a strong heart, it was an almost insurmountable nightmare.

Wounds caused by parents can only truly be healed by parents.

Eve did not want what happened to her to happen to him as well. Carrying such a life was enough for one person.

So, Eve was conflicted. She didn’t know if she should really take this boy to find his mother.
