Chapter 270 - 270 Ch. 270 Anxia’s Way Of Comfort



Elliot’s hands gripped the cloth of his mother’s clothes, trembling, and his crying intensified when he felt his mother repeatedly kissing the top of his head.

“Mama… you won’t blame me?” Elliot asked with a trembling voice that could make Anxia’s heart feel like it was breaking into pieces.

Elliot had always smiled at her for as long as she could remember, and the boy’s black eyes shone like a beautiful galaxy. But the more she got to know this child inside and out, the darker the dark reality she found.

If Elliot had continued to stay in this place any longer, this boy’s mental state would have been crushed beyond measure.

“My dear, I would never blame you. Whatever happens here, your father and I will never blame you. Remember it well.”

“You still won’t blame me even if Sister Mei Yin and Aunt Jamie are injured?”

“Are they hurt?”

Elliot didn’t answer her and looked at Anxia, biting his lower lip hard. Anxia realized that, at this moment, her son was waiting for her answer and was worried about the answer she would give.

.....

“No. I wouldn’t blame you even if they got hurt. If someone is to blame, blame the person who hurt them.”

“But I made them hurt.”

“Did you hit them?”

“No,” Elliot answered, shaking his head.

“Did you hurt them with hurtful words?”

“No.”

“Then it’s not you who makes them hurt.”

“But…”

“Elliot, you can’t blame people for not doing anything.”

“But… aren’t I to blame as well for doing nothing? I knew grandma would punish aunt Jamie because I did something she disliked. But I kept quiet and didn’t do anything to help her. Now… they―” his sentence was cut off when Anxia hugged him tightly.

“No one blames you, Elliot. I’m sure Jamie and Mei Yin won’t blame you either.”

“But…”

“What about Mei Yin? She promised me not to leave you alone, but she left and let someone else hurt you. Do you blame her?”

Elliot shook his head, quickly answering his mother. “No. I don’t blame her.”

“Then you must blame me for leaving you alone here.”

“No.” Elliot’s eyes filled with tears again as he saw that his mother’s expression seemed filled with regret, and she blamed herself for being unable to protect him. “It’s not your fault.”

“No, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have been fooled and realized I had you with Lori. But someone else had tricked me and separated me from my children. I really am stupid, am I not?

“No! Don’t say that.” Elliot could no longer hold his tears and wailing. “I don’t blame you or papa. It’s grandma’s fault! It was her...” Elliot’s words trailed off as he realized his mother’s intention.

Elliot’s tears didn’t stop flowing when he saw the gentle smile of his mother, who looked at him lovingly as if he was the only person who meant the most to his mother.

“Now you understand, right? Whatever happened in this place was not your fault. You are still young and have a long time to learn many things in this world. No one will blame you even if you do nothing and stay silent. But otherwise, I’d be pissed off if you hid the fact you were injured or acted alone in jeopardizing your own life. Did Song Lei do this?” Anxia touched the reddish bruise on her son’s neck gently.

“Song Lei?”

“The one whose face has a long scar.”

Elliot nodded his head. This was the first time he knew the name of the person who had tortured him. It wasn’t like he had never heard of his name, but he deliberately didn’t want to find out.

“I will thrash him―”

“Mama,” prevented Elliot when he sensed his mother was about to put him down and was planning to beat up Song Lei, “Papa said he won against him.” Elliot continued, relieved when his mother stopped moving.

His father didn’t say he had beaten Song Lei to the punch, but Richard said he had dealt more punches than his opponent had hit him. Richard also didn’t say that his fighting opponent would be Song Lei, but Elliot suspected and hoped that Richard had indeed beaten Song Lei.

Hence, Elliot didn’t want his mother to come out to challenge Song Lei. He felt sad when he saw the purplish bruises on his father’s cheek, and he didn’t want to see his mother get hurt because she had to fight with that ‘monster’ man.

“Papa? Did he come here last night?”

“En.” Elliot nodded his head. A faint smile on his face made Anxia realize that her son was reminiscing about the moment he and his father had together last night.

“You must be happy to be alone with papa, huh?” Anxia’s teasing made Elliot lower his face to hide his blush. His face was red from crying too much, so his complexion wasn’t changed.

“Elliot, from now on, I will never leave you. So you, too, never leave my sight as long as we are here.”

Elliot nodded his head in agreement with his mother’s words.

“And one more. You can use your acting skills, and I know what role you are suited for today.”

Elliot blinked a few times to process the meaning of his mother’s words. But suddenly, when he saw his mother’s grin that he had never seen before, his body shivered in horror. Elliot even could almost see the two horns on his mother’s head. Why did it feel like he saw a demoness?

Meanwhile, behind the basement bars, a whisper called Mei Yin’s name, who was still unconscious. Mei Yin groaned in pain as she tried to move her hand. With great difficulty, she opened her eyelids and glanced at the voice calling her.

Liam? What’s that guy doing here?

“There’s a message for you. The time is tomorrow.”

Hearing the announcement, Mei Yin no longer felt pain in her body. “I’ll be ready tonight.”

“What about your wound?”

Mei Yin turned her body to support her hands so she could get up from her lying position. She groaned in pain as her injured hand hit the ground, but she still tried to stay awake. Then, she looked straight into Liam’s eyes with a gaze filled with incredible determination.

“A wound like this won’t prevent me from leaving this rotten place.”

Liam nodded his head at that. “Your boyfriend will be at his spot tomorrow night at eight.”

Mei Yin’s smile widened upon hearing that, and her pair of eyes that had looked overcast shone again as if they saw a new hope.
