章 543: Another visit to the past

Music Recommendation: At the end of the Day- Frederico Morales

When Eve opened her eyes, she found Vincent staring at her. She was back in the present, with the cracked walls and the dust around them. He asked her, 

"Did something bad happen?" 

Eve shook her head, a small smile forming on her lips. She said, "I saw my mother and saw myself. She worked really hard and endured a lot more than she should have. She was a strong woman, Vince."

Vincent came closer to her and put his arms around her. He knew that the remarks on her mother from others were the hardest to digest, and not everyone saw what they saw. He responded, 

"She was indeed a strong woman. If it was a weaker woman, the society would have broken and crushed her spirits. I don't even have to go that far to know how she was, because looking at you is enough. She raised you with love." 

"She did," Eve answered while burying herself in his arms.
