Chapter 221 I Shouldn't Have Returned
South's remarks tugged at Silas's heartstrings. He is just trying to express that his mom prepared
the egg fried rice with her love, and it warms his heart. I'm not good at expressing my feelings, but
each time! interact with the mother and son, I'd end up beyond moved, and my heart would go out
for them. I just want to enter their lives as soon as possible to look after them. I want to make up for
what I had missed, and I hope that they will forgive me for not having found them earlier, and that
was why they have suffered so much. Silas patted South's back softly, and South must have been
able to relax in his father's arms because he fell asleep very soon. Nevertheless, as Silas's had
predicted, South did not sleep deeply. Soon, he frowned deeply, and his small face contorted in
agony. His tiny lips were pressed together tightly, as if he was holding his breath. A sob bubbled
from South's throat, and he seemed both stubborn and aggrieved. Silas immediately wrapped
South in his arms while patting his back reassuringly with his large palm. He consoled South in a
soothing tone, âSouth, don't be afraid. I'm here!â After that, South looked as if he had endured
everything for too long... Finally, he could not endure it any longer, and he burst out crying. South
buried his face against Silas's chest.
Silas's heart ached for South, and he was at a loss for words. He immediately patted South gently
while reassuring him soothingly, âSouth, don't be afraid. The bad guys will never dare to look for
you anymore. I will protect you; I'll protect you and mommy! I will also teach them a lesson and take
revenge for you.â He muttered for the longest time, and South finally calmed down. The child's
breathing slowed down, and his knitted brows relaxed significantly. Silas knew that South was sound
asleep, and he caressed the child's cheek softly. Silas's heart broke into pieces after that incident.
Just then, someone opened the room door abruptly. âSouth-"
Camila came barging in in a panic, and she let out a long sigh of relief when she saw her child lying
in bed peacefully. Suddenly, her body turned to mush, and she slid down onto the floor while
leaning against the bedside. Silas turned to get out of bed, and he took a few steps forward to pick
her up onto the bed. His eyes reflected his distress while he stared at the sobbing woman in front of
him. âWhat is it?"
Camila stared at her child in front of her, who was sound asleep in bed, and she reached out to
touch his leg. She was still in a state of shock, but she felt the acute sharp stabbing pain in her chest
while she stared at her son. âNothing; I just dreamed that Lyla snatched my child again, and she
even tortured him!"
Her voice was airy, and she sounded frail. Silas's heart ached for her, and he consoled her while
staring at her, âIt's fine now; everything is fine. Donât you worry because the child is sound asleep.â
Camila's was quite upset. âMaybe I shouldn't have returned. This wouldn't have happened to him if
we had stayed in Mastar.â Silas panicked immediately when he heard that. âThis was just an
accident, and you can't guarantee that accidents would not happen in Mastar. You shouldn't blame
yourself since the child is fine. Why donât you sleep in this room too? I'll sleep on the couch.â
Camila did not reply to him; instead, she looked at South's serene small face with an agonized gaze.
Then, she added, âNo need for that; you two should sleep.â With that, she left the room. She did not
even spare him a glance from the beginning to the end. Silas frowned deeply, and a bad feeling
surged from the bottom of his heart. He chased after her in a hurry out to the living hall. He saw her
holding her phone while smiling. âI missed you guys,â she said. Silas couldn't hear what the person
answered over the phone, but Camila replied, âNothing, really. It's just that I just couldn't fall asleep,
and I figured you guys aren't too busy, and so I'm giving you a call.â Her lips were curled into a
smile, but her eyes were brimming with tears. âI'm doing well... Nonsense. This is my territory, so
why wouldn't I thrive? Haven't you heard? My fashion studio sold out the first day itself... No need. I
myself am wealthy and powerful!â
