Capítulo 98: [Goodbyes]

"Tilly… why would you…."

Helix's eyes filled with light tears as he looked down.

"Because he cares about you." A middle-aged woman replied with tears in her eyes.

"I…."

Helix opened and closed his mouth multiple times.

"Why are you acting so emotional?" A man laughed.

"Tilly, this is…" Helix replied with a light scoff.

"Just too much."

Helix's expression was beyond bewildered at the bakery box in his hands.

"I kept tellin' the misses that we should've made you harem doughnuts instead—ow!"

Tilly rubbed the back of his head with an indigent expression.

The woman was giving in a scolding look between her puffy eyes.

"Anyway… we just wanted to thank you for your contributions and patronage at our shop.

It's going to be lonely here without ya, kid." Tilly chuckled with a smile.

"We're going to miss you, dear.

Please come back and visit at any time." The woman said.

"Thank you, Lilith. I will." Helix replied with a soft smile.
