With an uncharacteristically warm smile, Eduardo stretched out his arms and gave me a stiff hug.
His wrinkly face was no longer calm.
Wrinkles spread Like ripples.
ALL of a sudden, I had a flashback.
I saw my father holding me as a child high above his head.
But that happened a long time ago, and I could only remember that the wind was very gentle that day, and that my mother was still alive.
âBe careful.
You might drop the baby.
.
My motherâs soft voice seemed to echo in my ears.
But Eduardoâs voice brought me back to reality.
âYou grew up in the blink of an eye.
Now, youâre going to get married, and you have your own child.
â
He looked at me with affection, but I could see that the emotions in his eyes were somewhat erratic, as if he was recalling something.
I pursed my Lips and replied in a Low voice, âYes.
â
Maybe mending things with my father wasnât such a bad idea, but my immense hatred for him made me unable to speak.
I wasnât a saint.
I couldnât just let it go and forgive him so easily.
Eduardo sighed deeply.
âDebra, what happened five years ago was all my fault.
Otherwise, we wouldnât have been separated like this.
I promise you that as long as youâre in charge of Roz Town, I wonât do anything against it.
â
My eyebrows shot up in surprise.
When Eduardo asked if we could speak in private, I thought that he just wanted to make a deal with me.
As for when he would say it, it was just a matter of time.
But I didnât expect that heâd give up.

I had mixed feelings and didnât know what to say.
I could only say ina gruff voice, âThank you.
â
Anyway, at Least I had reached a temporary agreement with my father
With tears in my eyes, I dared to look up at him.
It was undoubtedly a tragedy for father and daughter to be alienated like this.
If my mother was still alive, would things have turned out differently?
Thinking of my mother, I couldnât help but think of that mysterious power.
I tried my best to suppress my raging emotions and asked, âDo you have anything to tell me about Mom?â
Eduardoâs brows furrowed in confusion.
âWhat do you mean?â
I had no choice but to go into detail.
âBefore both Leonel and Tom died, they told me that my mother had a secret.
Can you tell me what they meant?â
A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes, but the next second, he shook his head and replied calmly, âYour mother never kept any secrets from us.
She was a good Luna.
But to be honest, her identity is quite mysterious.
No one knows which pack she came from.
