Connor threw himself into Olivia's arms, tears flowing like a waterfall.
The idea of it being a dream feared him. "Mom, is it really you?"
Olivia failed to hold her tears back as she kept repeating, "Yes, it's me. Sorry for coming to you so late."
"I thought you didn't want me, Mom. I waited here for years."
Whenever the season for the cherry blossoms to bloom came, Connor would come to the watchtower.
However, even if he waited until the flowers withered, she never came.
Ethan told Connor that he couldn't locate Olivia either.
Years and years passed, and he questioned himself if she didn't come because she disliked him.
"It's all my fault, son. I was wrong. I should've come to you earlier. You're my precious son. How could I not want you?"
If he wasn't the eldest son, Olivia would've brought him along to raise him herself.
She wiped his tears away. "Don't cry, I love you."
He definitely grew up physically, but he was still that crying baby on the inside.
"I can't believe my son is catching up with me in terms of height. Time surely flies."
"Dad told me that you were sick and needed to go somewhere far for treatment. Have you recovered, Mom?"
She nodded. "I'm fit as a fiddle. Let me check your injuries."
Since Connor was dilly-dallying due to shyness, she simply removed his top herself.
Although there were some scars, the injuries were not fatal, fortunately.
"Don't worry, Mom. Dad didn't send me to dangerous places. He just wants me to train myself so that I can protect you when I grow up." He flexed his muscles. "Look! I'm a big boy now!"
"You're the best!" Olivia was happy to learn that he was growing up healthily.
"Mom, I heard from Dad that I have a younger sister with green eyes!"
