Ruby was now frozen in her tracks. She used her semblance and ran as fast as she could when she heard the song that her mother always sang for her when she was about to go to sleep when she was a toddler.
She held her tears back when she thought about her mother. She didn't have the right mind to think about whether it was a cruel prank from Sullivan or not.
And as she had reached the place where she heard the song being sung,
What she saw was something that she would never forget in her entire life.
"Mom…"
She didn't think that the surprise that Sullivan would give her would be her mother.
She was standing there right in front of her eyes.
"I-is it really you, Mom?"
The woman who sang the song wore a robe to obscure her features, but Ruby knew right away that it was her mother.
"My little rose."
After hearing the voice and the nickname her mother used to call her when she was little, Ruby instantly used her semblance to quickly reach her. She was afraid that she would disappear if she hesitated.
She didn't care if it was just a dream or not. In front of her was her mother, whom she yearned to embrace, and she felt her warmth once again.
Summer, who saw that her daughter was so desperate to hug her, couldn't help but shed tears. She hugged her tightly in return.
"Don't worry, my little rose, Mom will not go anywhere anymore. Mom will always be with you now and ever."
Ruby heard that, and she cried tears of grievance. There were many things that she wanted to say to her, but now all the words were stuck in her throat.
She really wanted to tell her everything that happened to her and hoped that her mother would listen and console her like she had in the past.
Now that she had gotten her mother back. It was okay to let it all out, right?
…
Yang didn't know what to do. She looked at Ruby, who was now hugging the woman who looked exactly like her stepmother, who had disappeared in the past.
She knew that she was already dead. And there's no way the woman in front of her would be her stepmother.
She wanted to check and see if the woman was really her mother or not. But when she saw that Ruby was very happy to have her back, she didn't have the heart to say anything.
'Sullivan, If this was your prank, then we are done.'
Even though she was grateful for what Sullivan did for her and her sister. But this prank went too far. She looked at the woman once again, and If she was an imposter, she did her job very well.
Summer looked at Yang, who was looking at her suspiciously. She couldn't help but smile and say something that only she and Yang knew.
"Stop looking at me with those eyes, lady. Or else I would ask my friend to stop supplying your hair conditioner."
Even though she was dead. Her friend was still supplying her daughter with the hand made hair conditioner.
This was the only thing that she and Summer knew.
"How…"
Yang was very shocked as to why she knew about the supplier of her hair conditioner. She never told anyone.
Seeing Yang like that, Summer couldn't help but laugh a little and speak to her.
"That's because I am your mother. Well, if you still don't believe me, you just need to wait for Sullivan to explain it to you."
Summer then focused back on Ruby, who was now sticking her tongue at Yang, and told her that she was just being paranoid. She believed in Sullivan. He would never do something so cruel to her.
Summer smiled. She couldn't do anything if Yang didn't believe her. Sullivan told her that he would explain it to her when he was done with his business.
Yang narrowed her eyes. She hesitated now. No one knew about her hand made hair conditioner except her mother. Even Ruby and Taiyang didn't know about it.
Yang was suspicious that Sullivan might read her mind so that he could make an imposter that was so accurate.
'Will he really do that to us? No, he will not do something like that.'
Even though there were many things that she still didn't know about Sullivan, one thing she did know was that he would never do something like read people's minds.
According to what she knew about him. He felt disgusted about it.
And as Yang observed the woman, The longer and more she observed her, the less she thought the woman would be an imposter.
"Come on, Yang. She is our mother. Sullivan would never do something bad to us!"
Before, If Ruby had a crush on Sullivan, Now she was completely head over heels for him.
