Capítulo 207: Chapter 207: Mother...

"Andrea…"

"Hm?"

"Your snot is falling on my face."

"I don't care!"

"Ugh!"

Van's cheeks could only be crushed as Andrea's embrace seemed to grow even tighter. Even when he was fighting with the Enhancer-types during their battle with the City Guards, no one had placed this kind of pressure on him, not even once.

But now that Andrea was doing it, it was as if he was feeling everything. The warmth of her arms, the comfort of her skin, the hush of her voice… it was as if Van's body started to sting.

A surrender.

For the first time in his life, his body was in unconditional surrender. Once again, the curiosity for discovery, the hunger for truth, and the search for who he really was were pushed from the back of his mind as he felt Andrea's embrace…

...the embrace of family.
