Chapter 1024: Worried Mother

"He ran away..." Aria muttered.

"Mom for the rescue~" Nyx was having a great time.

Vespera sat at her desk with an open folder in front of her. Her eyes went straight to his face, examining him closely enough that he found himself sitting up for her.

"Are you hurt?"

"I’m fine. Everything’s healed."

"Your hand?"

He held it up and spread his fingers. "See? Good as new."

Her gaze lingered on his palm before returning to his face.

"And the others?"

"We’re all here."

Kaiden propped the phone against a tea box, angling its camera toward the family. Alice detached from his head in a gathering of golden light and perched on the sofa’s arm beside Alexandra, leaning forward to see their mother.

"I’m fine too," she announced. "Big Brother had me with him the whole time."

"I saw."

"Lady Vespera." Yunohana placed Kaiden’s cup before him, then inclined her head toward the phone. "Your family is at our headquarters. They have been helping us understand what happened."

Kaiden picked up his cup and summarized the findings for his mother, from Mizuno’s human registration to the blood collection equipment. Vespera listened without interrupting, then closed the folder in front of her.

"Did you feel anything change in yourself afterward?"

Kaiden lowered the cup before drinking. "No. Both Alice and Alexandra kept monitoring me on the way here."

"I couldn’t find any foreign mana in him," his sister added. "I’ve been watching for it."

Their mother regarded them both for a moment.

"If either of you notices anything, I would like to hear about it immediately."

"Of course."

Yunohana refilled Alexandra’s cup while Vespera looked over the faces gathered around the table. Her gaze came back to Kaiden, and the concern in it made his chest warm.

"You could come home," she said. "Your presence is not required for them to examine those rooms."

Kaiden smiled at her. "Mom, you worry too much."

"..."

"To think that the Shadow Monarch would make such a face. You’ve changed a lot, Mom."

"I have always been worried. That’s why I kept an entire surveillance team on you after you left for college."

"..."

"Hahahaha!!" Calypso couldn’t hold it any longer. "You’re the best, Shadow Mommy."

"You should’ve heard the receptionist chicks when we arrived," Luna put in. "Everyone was talking about your son."

"One of the staff covered her neck when he walked past~" Nyx added, smiling into her cup.

"..." Kaiden glanced at the traitors before facing his mother again. "I was perfectly nice to her."

Vespera’s gaze softened at that. "I know."

"But I also watched someone kill the vampire before you could stop them," Vespera continued.
