Chapter 45: Father's Love

+++

The blackwood forest,

Tears rolled down from Jellal's face as his hand was trembling while holding his precious daughter, the small hand reached out to him putting on his cheek as that time he crouched hiding from the monster in the forest.

The baby cried when a tear dropped on her finger, Jellal calmed the baby down.

"Don't cry~my dear child. Don't cry~father is here."

He proceeded to run to the tombstone immediately, when he thought he finally made it but not everything went well as the way he thought.

The ancestor walked out of the tombstone in the form of a soul and told Jellal the harsh reality, "This baby won't survive. Give up."
