Angeline’s heart hurt. While Baby Zetty’s view of the world and her relationships were being formed, she had fallen into depression due to her unreciprocated love. She then got sent to Grandma Boye’s place, where she started living in seclusion.
Now that she was together with Finn, who adored her, he always let her do as she wished. Of course, he would not tell her that she was doing the wrong thing.
Angeline walked forward and embraced Baby Zetty. She said sadly, “It’s all my fault. I didn’t fulfill my responsibilities as your mother.”
Sir Ares fell into deep thought as well.
A guilty expression appeared on his stern face.
He stared at Finn and spoke up purposefully, “Finn, if you can’t protect her to the very end of her life, please don’t spoil her to the extent that she ends up as a fool who only knows how to practice her medical skills and save lives but is oblivious as to how to love herself and her family.”
Finn reflected on what Sir Ares told him. He felt that Sir Ares and Madam Angeline’s worries were completely reasonable. They were doing this for the sake of Baby Zetty. Baby Zetty would no longer have family or friends by her side if he passed away one day. She would have to work with technology and medicine every day. She would be the odd one out among everyone. She would be terribly lonely.
“I got it,” Finn said.
Angeline sobbed as Baby Zetty left after they finished having a meal together. She pleaded with Baby Zetty, “Baby Zetty, you must come home more often.”
Baby Zetty nodded as she said, “Yes, Mommy, I will.”
However, Savannah Jones, who was standing by the side, said in a low voice, “It’ll be hard for us to see her after she leaves this time around.”
Angeline stared at Savannah as her heart throbbed in pain.
“Savannah, why would you say that?”
Savannah said, “She’s fated to live in solitude. She doesn’t belong to anyone. She belongs to everyone.”
Angeline frowned as panic flooded her gaze.
She stared at Baby Zetty and Finn as they walked farther away. Finally, she fell into Sir Ares’ arms weakly.
