Chapter 1056: Chapter 512 I love you because I truly love you~ Don’t cry, smile (4k)

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, five years had gone by.

Sera, carrying her young daughter on her back, continued her wandering life in the wilderness day after day.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to settle down somewhere, but to regular humans and even average Mutant Patients, she was a time bomb ready to explode at any moment.

Dragon Horn, Dragon Tail, Dragon Scale.

A typical Dragon Species Mutant Patient, who could turn into a newly born dragon or a monster that had lost its reason at any second.

No place was willing to take them in; sooner or later, they would be driven out.

Even in the dead of winter, she could only wander between the mountains.

Luckily, the scent left on her by the wolf was still present, discouraging even Third-tier Origin Beasts from attacking, choosing instead to give them a wide berth amidst their uncertainty.

However, as time passed, the wolf’s scent seemed to be fading. Recently, several Third-tier Origin Beasts had found her. Had her Strength not increased along with the deepening of her Mutation, reaching the peak of third-tier, she would likely have been attacked and killed by Origin Beasts by now.

"It seems my time is running out," Sera said softly, lowering her head and lifting the edge of her loose grey robe. Underneath, her limbs and abdomen were covered in red scales. The intense heat from her blood was constantly burning her senses.

From her time with the black wolf and the subsequent childbirth, Sera had spent too much of her life force. Now at twenty years old, she looked a decade older.

The campfire beside her crackled and rose, giving off a warm heat. Sera turned to look at her daughter’s cute, asleep face on the ground, and a slight smile crept onto her face.

Every time she saw Aina’s little face, the pain within her body seemed to lessen a great deal.

Gazing at Aina, Sera whispered softly, "Aina, you will surely be able to live well, you must."

Unlike her, Aina only had a pair of wolf ears, a wolf tail, and tea gold eyes. The rest of the factors within her body were incredibly stable. So stable that after five years, there had been no signs of deepening Mutation at all.

It seemed her gambit had paid off.

She had thought to herself that even if it failed, perhaps it would have been for the best.

But now, Aina would no longer have to suffer the agony of burning from the inside.

Some lucky Mutant Patients might never experience a deepening Mutation for their entire lives. Hopefully, Aina was such a fortunate child.

Still, she needed to consider the future.

She was near death, but she had long been mentally prepared for that, hadn’t she?

It was just that she didn’t want to part ways so soon.

Most importantly, the child was still young. What would Aina do if she were gone?

Could she entrust her to someone?

Who would that be?

Admittedly, it was somewhat embarrassing that at her age, she didn’t have a single friend. She racked her brain but couldn’t think of anyone to entrust the child to.

Even if she found someone willing to adopt Aina, how could she ensure that person’s character was trustworthy?

What if that person was violent?

What if they were a pervert who liked little girls?

What if...

There were just too many possibilities and uncertainties.

She didn’t want to send her child into ’Hell.’

After all, they were already living in Hell. Only a few find happiness in life.

"Mommy! Mommy, don’t go!"

Aina suddenly cried out twice, then quickly lifted her head, looking around frantically. After seeing Sera beside her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She patted her chest, still frightened, and said cutely, "Mommy, I just dreamt you left Aina behind, it scared me to death... You won’t leave Aina behind, will you?"

Sera paused for a moment.

Then, a bitter smile only she understood emerged on her lips.

"Yes, Mommy will never leave you behind."

She quietly pulled down her sleeve to cover the scales on her arm and reached out to touch Aina’s head. "Aina, we’ve stayed here long enough, let’s go travel to other places with Mommy."

Aina nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes! Aina loves traveling with Mommy!"

There was no need to ask where they would go.

As long as Mommy was with her, any place was possible.

Sera watched Aina’s innocent smile, her heart growing heavier.

This child’s dependence on her was too great, and she was too smart. If only Aina were a bit duller; after all, childhood memories fade easily—how many can remember events from when they were five or six years old? But Aina’s intelligence was not like that of a child her age.

Imagining what she might become without her was too hard.

By that time, even if someone took in the child, Aina’s future might not be so bright.

She herself had almost fallen apart when she lost her only relative around sixteen—it was unthinkable for Aina, who had been accompanied only by her since she was a baby.

The only solution she could think of was to make the child forget her memories related to herself.

Then find someone to take care of Aina.

That way, Aina wouldn’t grieve over her departure and could lead a normal life.

But clearly, she did not possess such power.
