"Mom..." Aria mumbled softly as she clung to her mother, seeking the comfort and warmth of her embrace. The nightmare almost made her lose her mind so Aria needed the solace of her mother's presence.
She decided to sleep beside her mother who was also resting.
Aether and Liora watched the mother and daughter duo with fond smiles before quietly exiting the room, leaving them to their well-deserved rest.
"What did she exchange?" Liora asked, her curiosity piqued. She wondered what sacrifice Maelona had made to save Aether.
"Everything..." Aether replied softly, his voice filled with admiration and respect.
The depth of a mother's love, willing to sacrifice everything for her daughter's happiness, was a sentiment that deeply resonated with him.... He felt a profound respect for Maelona's selflessness!
"Everything?" Liora echoed, her eyes widening in surprise and shock. She looked at Aether with even keener interest, her curiosity intensifying.
