“…Even though the boy wailed and begged me to keep him around the very next morning, I knew I couldn’t fulfill his wish. The only way I could get him to leave was by treating him harshly that day… And even then, he had knelt outside my door throughout the afternoon. Needless to say, I was silently crying as well… and once the boy was taken away, I fell seriously ill for three days straight…”
“That, of course, made my medical condition even worse… and in the end, it was my late husband who stayed by my side to care for me… He’s the reason I continued finding the will to live. Regardless, I used some of the money I received to pay for my treatment. Truth be told, I wanted to visit the boy on multiple occasions… However, when I saw how outstanding he now was, I always ended up shying away from the thought. I just didn’t want to embarrass him…”
“After all, what great man would admit that his mother was a person who cowered in the shadows? That thought process ultimately resulted in me not even daring to partake in his wedding… The most I could do at the time was watch you two get married from the display screen outside the hotel, and hope for your happiness…”
“Now that my son and husband have passed on, he’s the only person I have left to miss… I really didn’t want to die before getting to see him for at least one final time…” concluded Wendy whose eyes were now reddened in agony.
Watching as tears began falling down Wendy’s cheeks, Xavia began finding it incredibly difficult to breathe. To think that the truth was far more of a tragedy than she could’ve ever imagined…!
Now understanding that she had misunderstood Wendy, Xavia quickly handed Wendy some tissues as she said, “…Please don’t cry, Aunt… I’m sure Zivon would forgive you if he learned of all this…”
“P-please don’t tell him about all this…! He’s a kind-hearted boy, and he’ll surely grow depressed once he learns about the truth! Besides, my illness has been treated, and everything’s in the past now… I… I really don’t want the boy to be any sadder than he already is…!” pleaded Wendy.
