Chapitre 307: Last night... II

Maxen's heart thudded at the mention of his father, unknowingly holding his breath. His eyes slightly turned blank, in a daze, as he stared at Conrad.

"I took in his son… I'm sorry." Conrad cleared his throat, realizing it was insensitive of him to keep mentioning Maxen and that man's connection. "I had been in contact with him after the raid that night."
