Chapter 320: The Crying Child Gets the Milk

The Bound Angel stared fixedly into his eyes.

After a brief pause.

She gently leaned her forehead forward, closed her eyes, and touched his brow.

And in that very instant, she read Lynn's memories. Countless images flashed rapidly before her eyes.

She sensed the source of the sorrowful emotion in Lynn's heart.

Saw the silhouette Lynn was desperately trying to reach.

Heard the two words he tearfully cried out the moment he was dragged into this world.

And felt the fragility within his heart.

She finally slowly opened her eyes, murmuring in a daze:

"You found your mother in that world?"Lynn closed his eyes. "Yes."

The Bound Angel said softly, "You're upset because you couldn't truly meet her, aren't you?"

Lynn lowered his head. "Even though I know she isn't my real mother... in that similar world, she seemed to be my mother..."

After saying this, Lynn fell silent.

That sorrowful feeling spread from his heart.

The Bound Angel watched the young man before her quietly, gently closed her eyes, and lightly touched his forehead, like a form of comfort.

"It's alright."

She could feel the vulnerability in Lynn's heart at this moment.

Because no matter how much he had experienced, in the lifespan of a human being, he was still just a boy who hadn't grown up yet.

No matter how strong he appeared on the outside, deep down, he still had his fragile side.

Especially when faced with the family affection he had been searching for so long.

Even the strongest person would have their layers of masks peeled away, revealing that throbbing, fragile heart.

And she was also very gratified.

Because in Nightfall City, a place so unfamiliar and foreign to him, the first person this young man came to was her, and not someone else. Wasn't this a form of trust in itself?

"You will meet again. You believe that too, don't you?"

She whispered her delicate comfort.

Lynn lowered his head, his body tense as if desperately suppressing the emotions within. At this moment, he looked so very vulnerable.

The Bound Angel gazed at him softly, forcefully dragged the chains binding her wrists, and finally gently stretched out her arms, pulling Lynn into her embrace. Her voice became delicate and soft as she murmured:

"If you want to vent, then vent it out. Only the Matriarch and you are here. No outsiders will see. It's not good to keep everything bottled up inside."

Lynn's body trembled, his hands clenched.

The Bound Angel gently patted his back, her expression slowly softening. Her long, smooth golden hair draped down, like a benevolent Madonna.

Because she knew,

In her eyes at this moment, Lynn was just a big boy lacking maternal love who needed guidance and care.

And for such a fragile big boy,

What he needed most right now,

Was care.

And at such a time, only gentle words to guide him could help this big boy overcome his emotional knots.

And Lynn finally, with repressed emotion, hugged her back, buried his face in her chest, and began to sob quietly.

The Bound Angel stroked his hair softly, holding the choked-up Lynn against her chest, whispering delicately:

"Mhm, cry it out. You'll feel much better after crying. Although the Matriarch is not your mother, if you don't mind... you can call me Godmother. From now on, if you encounter anything upsetting, you can come here anytime to talk to your Godmother."

Those healing, soft words seemed capable of smoothing over all the scars in one's heart.

Gentle and delicate, flowing through the heart like a clear spring.

"Really... can I?" Lynn asked tearfully.

"Mhm," the Bound Angel replied softly.

"Godmother..." Lynn buried his teary face in her chest and finally, with a sob, uttered those two words.

[Ding! The Bound Angel's Intimacy towards you +20]

"Good child." Overflowing with maternal affection, the Bound Angel's nose also tingled with emotion. She closed her eyes softly, holding his head, and said:

"Be good now."

Lynn immediately began crying even louder, just like a child.
