hapter 214 Just a Normal Child

When Gianna reached bim, she realized that there was a bruise on his face. “South what happened to your face?” She was breathless when she asked the question, her face filled with fear. South brushed her hand that was on his face away. “It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.” A storm was brewing in Gianna’s eyes. “Did Kaylee do that to you?” South tried to console her, “It doesn’t hurt at all, mommy.

Why were you so late? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Gianna choked immediately upon hearing that. “My phone’s out of battery, We only found out that you’re here after checking Silas’s phone. She hugged South tightly as she tried not to cry.. ! When Gianna 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. “Thank you for saving him!”

Lone Wolf smiled. “Don’t worry about it. It’s our pleasure.” Then, South held Gianna’s hands as he brought her over to introduce everyone. “Mommy, this is Lone Wolf, the person in charge of Will-oʻ-

Wisp Headquarters, and this pretty lady is Peacock. That is Python, and this is Leopard. They are all our core members here.” Then, he pointed at Silas and Gianna as he introduced them. “This is my mommy, Gianna, and this is Uncle Silas, Silas Nolan.” Silas nodded once more. “He’s still young, so please take good care of him. If you need any help, you can look for me anytime.” Lone Wolf took a step forward. “Don’t worry. Wily Rabbit is very smart. He was able to reach this position all because of his own capabilities.” Gianna looked at them gratefully. “I 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.”

Lone Wolf replied, “Don’t 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.” After exchanging some pleasantries, they finally touched on the main topic. Gianna asked, “Where’s Kaylee? She’s the woman who kidnapped South.” “She’s in the basement of our headquarters. Do you want to see her? I can bring you there,” Lone Wolf replied.

“Sure,” Gianna said. With that, she looked at Silas. “Stay here with South, Silas. I’ll be back soon.”

Silas frowned in worry. “Don’t you need me to accompany you?” A cruel look flitted across Gianna’s eyes as she said coldly, “It’s fine. I can settle it on my own!” South reminded her, “Mommy, don’t use your own hands to attack her. It’ll hurt you!” Gianna caressed his little head as she mumbled a reply.

Then, Lone Wolf brought her out of the room immediately. After Gianna 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. “Let’s go!”
