Chapter 57: The Despair (IV).

Elizabeth's POV

The sun rose up from the sky, its light waking me from my soundless sleep on the couch with Victoria hugging me protectively, still not awake. She rests peacefully by the couch, this is the most relaxed I've seen her ever since entering the village.

"Mom…" I decided not to wake her up and just enjoy our peaceful morning together for now. I buried myself in her hug and comfortably closed my eyes.

I know I have informed the lord that I will only extend my stay here to the day, and now I want that to change despite how much I dislike the idea.

"I planned on staying a bit in the orphanage and bond with Victoria's lover… and the other kids." I look at Victoria's soft breathing, and I sigh knowing how broken she was last night not knowing what happened to Sister Mary, her lover.

"I hope she's okay."

I do hope I would have another mother to be spoiled with.
