After talking with Alice and Tiana, Daniel planned to visit the guild to talk with Lana and her father. However, after a second thought, he decided to skip it.
He had just returned and preferred to rest for at least one day. Besides, even without him, nothing bad would happen to the guild, he was confident that girl could handle things well enough for now.
After chatting a bit longer with his two sisters, he went to see his mother. Liana smiled as soon as she saw her son, though it was clear she was struggling to hold back tears.
But she couldn't help it and pulled her son into her arms. Daniel said nothing and just let her stay there quietly.
"Mom, is it still hard for you?" he asked with a teasing tone.
"I'm just worried. I don't want something to happen to you too," Liana said softly, her voice trembling. Even though she always tried to stay strong, she still feared that the same fate that took her husband might one day take her son too.
