Tower Master's Visit

After leaving the Alchemy Tower, Yuan brought the woman back to the homeless boy, who was sitting by the street.

"M-mother!"

The boy's dispirited expression immediately brightened upon seeing his mother. He stood up and rushed over to Yuan.

"Why is she sleeping? Is she okay?" he asked.

"Yes, she'll be fine. She fell asleep from exhaustion, so she'll wake up after resting a little."

Just as he finished saying that, the woman opened her eyes.

"Where am I…?"

"Mother!!!"

"Ah! Son! Am I in heaven?!"

"Of course not!"

Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, you're alive."

"Huh? How…? I swear I was inside the Alchemy Tower… And who are you?"

"I don't know what happened to you, but I found you outside the Alchemy Tower," said Yuan.

"Outside the tower…? Was that all a dream?" she muttered in a dazed voice.

"Thank you, big brother. I knew I could count on you," said the little boy.
