An angry voice rang out from the crowd. Yannis shuddered and murmured under her breath, as she saw her grandfather, Terrance, in the crowd. He was so agitated that he stomped his foot hard.

"Vincent, you silly boy! Have you lost your mind? Hurry up and apologize. Or would you rather explain your objection?"She was obviously trying to help Vincent.As long as he apologized or gave an explanation, they could sweep it under the rug.

He smiled warmly at her, and said, "I'm back, silly!"A shiver traveled down Cecily's spine. The panic instantly left her pretty face, as tears started to stream down her face.That was what he always called her. "Austin" didn't change her nickname because of what he had gone through.Her nickname had always been the same. It was "Austin" that had changed. In that case, who was this person beside her?Cecily slowly turned to face "

Austin couldn't care less about anything else, as tears streamed down his face. "It's alright. Mom will be alright," he said.At that moment, he felt his chest tighten as if it were about to explode. Self-blame, guilt, reluctance, and other emotions tangled together, filling his chest. He had risked his life to come back. This wasn't the outcome he wanted.Memories of the past 20 years with his mother floated in his mind. He remembered that time in the dead of winter. His mother had draped the thickest clothes in the house over him. Even if she was freezing, she still insisted on going out to rummage through the rubbish, just to raise him. He remembered that on New Year's Eve, his mother would smile and offer him a warm plate of pasta. That was the only plate of pasta the entire family would have on New Year's Eve, and his mother insisted on him finishing the whole plate. He remembered that when others were calling him a mutt, it was his mother who protected him. With he

Cecily knew how close Austin and his mom were. So, she was worried that he might do something reckless. After Dahlia died, Austin had woken up in the hospital. However, it was like he was a completely different person. He was so stoic that it scared Cecily. He would ignore her and wouldn't even give a reply when she talked to him.It was as if Austin had retreated into a shell and refused to let anyone in.Austin had calmly attended Dahlia's funeral. He returned to his room afterward, pushed Cecily out, and locked the door behind her. Cecily was about to have a meltdown because of how helpless she felt.
