Do not know if her words truly did have an effect or not, but the killing intent hovering around the boyâs body did start showing signs of dissipating following her plea this time around. Eventually, even the burning flame had disappeared and returned to the dormant silence from withinâ¦.
In spite of this sudden turn of event, Bai Yan didnât let go of her hands, instead she hugged the little boy even tighter until tears began to drip down to those shouldersâ¦.
âYanâer.â DI Cangâs gaze never once left his sonâs figure during all this. Though he could tell the most critical moment has passed with the kid, but he still wouldnât leave it up to chance or his guard down.
âLet go first. I will eliminate this wisp of grudge from his body. Xiachenâs soul is sealed within his body right now so there wonât be any effect on him. At most he will sleep for a period. Afterwards I will find a way to lift the seal and free him again.â
Bai Yanâs body had frozen over regarding that suggestion because her mind immediately shot back to the time where she met that ghoul like version of her son. That grievance, that sadness, it could never be forgotten, thatâs how memorable that image was in her memory.
Half a ring later, she turns back to face her husband: âDi Cang, I still want to tryâ¦.â
âHe doesnât remember you, and has no humanity inside of him, you have to know this point!â he frowns and explains again.
Bai Yan on the other hand was done with the conversation. Returning to the boy, she doesnât stop smiling in a reassuring and warm manner.
âIâm sorry I couldnât protect you back then, You mustâve wanted to come to this world, and you mustâve wanted me to hold you, right?â
The little boyâs body shuddered a bit over the notion, regardless, he still allowed those hands to reach over without struggle. That warmth, itâs breathtakingly comfortable for some reason and he didnât want to reject this feeling like a lost little lambâ¦
âDonât worry, those who harmed us and made us separate in the past life, I wonât let any of them go!â Firm in her eyes as she makes that vow, the woman then prints a kiss on the childâs forehead to seal the promise. âI will also find a way to protect both you and Xiachen, I wonât let either of you disappear!â
That finally did it. The bloodthirstiness which plagued the boy for oh so long has finally dispersed, replaced entirely by tears and a sobbing cry of a childish voice. Though its dry and hoarse like the dead, itâs still that of a childâs!
âMotherâ¦â Crossing the barrier of time and space, this poor baby finally has his chance to call out the one word he never could.
Quivering across her body over this cry of a baby to their mother, Bai Yan hugged him even tighter like the act would never be enough.
Di Cang in the meantime could only stand on the side and silently watch the pair huddle together. He had no room to join us because right now itâs their moment and not his.
Is this what they call mother and son bond? But why can he only remember his mother and not father? Isnât this a little too bias?
âMother, I miss youâ¦â As the boy says that, the dam holding back those tears has now collapsed and causes the fluid to stain the womanâs dress.
âIâm sorry, Iâm sorryâ¦â
I never shouldâve forgottenâ¦.
âNo, the one to be sorry is me. I didnât protect you properly last life, but I promise you I will protect Xiachen for sure so donât worry.â
