489 488. Family

Sylvester didn't say anything and just went ahead and embraced Aurora in his arms. For the first time in so long, he once again felt the warmth of family. The same was the case with Aurora as her eyes teared up uncontrollably.

"I...I thought you had left us all!"

"I thought that too, Aurora. But so much has happened in six years. It was not easy, but somehow." He glanced at Hozin and Kimino. "Solis sent me help."

Pat!

While hugging, she suddenly patted his head. "Bald?"

Sylvester stepped back with a chuckle and sat beside her. "Sacrifices we all have to make to remain unnoticed. Tell me about yourself, how are you? Did you grow stronger? Did you find a good lover? I'm telling you, you should break the vows. I wanna be called uncle, dammit."

Bam!

"Shut up."
