Chapter 1430: Ins and Outs (Part 2)

"You have been with Lith every moment of his life, becoming closer to him than any member of this family could. You are the closest thing to a twin he has and the daughter that I was never allowed to know."

Elina cupped Solus's face, caressing it with so much love and tenderness that Solus cried again, but this time out of joy.

"I'm so sorry for never being a part of your life and I know there's no way I can make up for the lost time, but I would like to try anyway, if you'll allow me to. Would you give me the privilege of calling you my daughter?"

"Yes." Solus said amid tears.

"Then you can call me Mom if you want to." Elina hugged Solus, keeping her as close as she could.

Solus's knees buckled as the emotion from her life-long dream coming true overwhelmed her. Elina didn't let her go, helping her to sit on the tower's floor while one after the other the members of their family joined them in the embrace.
