Chapter 214 Just a Normal Child
When Camila reached him, she realized that there was a bruise on his face. âSouth... what happened
to your face?â She was breathless when she asked the question, her face filled with fear. South
brushed her hand that was on his face away. âIt's nothing. Don't worry about it.â A storm was
brewing in Camilaâs eyes. âDid Lyla do that to you?â South tried to console her, âIt doesn't hurt at all,
mommy. Why were you so late? I've been waiting for you for a long time.â Camila choked
immediately upon hearing that. âMy phone's out of battery. We only found out that you're here
after checking Silasâs phone. She hugged South tightly as she tried not to cry. When Camila hugged
him, his shoulders contracted instinctively, but he remained immobile as he was being embraced by
her quietly. Silas also felt sorry for him. Even though they had given him some fresh clothes to
change into, it showed how much of a mess South was at the beginning. After a long time, he finally
retracted his gaze from South and looked at other people in the conference room. âThank you for
saving him!" Lone Wolf smiled. âDonât worry about it. It's our pleasure.â Then, South held Camilaâs
hands as he brought her over to introduce everyone.
âMommy, this is Lone Wolf, the person in charge of Will-o'-Wisp Headquarters, and this pretty lady
is Peacock. That is Python, and this is Leopard. They are all our core members here.â Then, he
pointed at Silas and Camila as he introduced them. âThis is my mommy, Camila, and this is Uncle
Silas, Silas Nolan.â Silas nodded once more. âHe's still young, so please take good care of him. If you
need any help, you can look for me anytime.â Lone Wolf took a step forward. âDonât worry. Wily
Rabbit is very smart. He was able to reach this position all because of his own capabilities.â Camila
looked at them gratefully. âI really thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. If you guys hadn't
arrived in time, I really don't know what the consequences would have been.â Lone Wolf replied,
âDonât mention it. Wily Rabbit is very close to us. He has also helped us out a lot, and we have
always treated him like family.â After exchanging some pleasantries, they finally touched on the
main topic. Camila asked, âWhere's Lyla? She's the woman who kidnapped South.â
âShe's in the basement of our headquarters. Do you want to see her? I can bring you there,â Lone
Wolf replied. âSure,â Camila said. With that, she looked at Silas. âStay here with South, Silas. I'll be
back soon.â Silas frowned in worry. âDonât you need me to accompany you?" A cruel look flitted
across Camilaâs eyes as she said coldly, âIt's fine. I can settle it on my own!â
South reminded her, âMommy, donât use your own hands to attack her. It'll hurt you!â Camila
caressed his little head as she mumbled a reply. Then, Lone Wolf brought her out of the room
immediately. After Camila had left, Silas walked to South slowly and bent down. Without another
word, he immediately hugged him tightly in his embrace. Then, he slowly patted South's back to
comfort him. South remained immobile. In fact, it was impossible to state that he was not afraid at
all. It would only make his mother worry if he said it out loud, and he didn't want others to laugh at
him. After he escaped, he retained his composure so that the rest couldn't tell that he was afraid. As
long as he pretended to be brave, no one would know that he was actually terrified.
However, when he was enveloped in Silas's wide arms and shoulders, he couldn't regain his
composure anymore. I can't cry! I can't cry in front of others, and I don't dare to cry! Right now, he
just wanted to be a normal child. Even though he was afraid, he would not cry out loud. He merely
lowered his head and buried it in Silas's embrace so that no one else could see his face. After
glancing at the both of them in the conference room, Peacock nudged the others. âLet's go!â
