Chapter 97. Part Ways

I looked at Amari, who had been quietly playing on the side. She hadn't asked me any questions about why we were here.

I had been waiting for her to pester me with questions, but she remained silent.

"Amari, my dear," I called her attention.

She turned to me and gave a faint smile.

"Come here," I beckoned.

She grabbed her teddy bear and came over, sitting on my lap.

"Don't you have any questions for Mama?" I asked her.

She paused her teddy bear's arm movements and stared at it for a long time.

"You know what's best for me, Mama. I trust you," she said with a smile. "Ate May said that I should bear with you because you have a lot of problems, and I don't want to cause another problem, Mama. If something happens again, I am here. Tell me, and I will hug you tightly, Mama."

My eyes welled up as I looked at her. "I'm sorry," the words escaped my lips.

"Don't cry, Mama."

"I have something to tell you, Amari," I continued.
