Chapter 502 Crystal And Autumnal Panorama

• The reunion between a mother and daughter who hadn't seen each other for many years should have been exceedingly touching. However, even Isabelle herself could sense the distance between us. Not only did her feeble consolation and words that cut me to the quick fail to reduce the distance between us, but they had blood gushing from my wound instead.

I just wanted a hug from her and for her to tell me how much she missed me and console me for having suffered in her absence while sobbing. But she didn't say that to me. She merely uttered vapid words of how Nathan took good care of me!
