Bab 193: Complicated Feelings

"... You've been through a lot."

In his voice, Alex could hear a lot of emotions.

However, when he looked directly at Jonathan's eyes, he saw empathy and… care.

Noticing that, Alex felt warm inside.

In this world, with no family, only few people could show him genuine care.

Most of the time, it is either pity or disgust.

Not knowing what to say, Alex just bowed his head and stayed silent.

Seeing that, Jonathan patted him again before retracting his hand.

After a while, he suddenly called Alex, "Alex."

Raising his head, Alex looked at Jonathan again and listened.

"In three days there will be a gathering that I will be attending."

"Make sure to be prepared before then."

Alex paused for a bit before his eyes gradually brightened up.

"... Yes, Grandpa Jonathan!"

Obviously, this is Jonathan's answer to his request.
