73: Realm of possibilities - part 3

"Your son died, right? Are you looking for a replacement? How about taking my son in as yours?"

The exhausted goddess asked as she held her children close. Mr. Rose wanted to say something to her but his mouth could not move.

His body was betraying him in the worst way possible and Mr. Rose was terrified of what that meant for him. Was this going to be something permanent?

Whatever this goddess had done, it had affected Mr. Rose on a psychological level.

"I-If I take the boy, then what will happen to your girl? I can't take both of them in since my mother knows that a boy was born. B-Besides, these kids look inhuman. T-Their eyes…"

"You do not need to worry about that. Here, now it is alright, right?"

The goddess placed her hand on the boy's head and Mr. Rose watched in wonder as his features changed to match his own. In a matter of seconds, it was impossible to tell if the child was his or not.

It could only be called a miracle to see such a sight in front of his eyes.
