Chapter 117: Path for Redemption

The following day, Angelie brought Minatsu to the day care center. During the weekend, the grandparents of Minatsu would come pick her up from Angelie's apartment.

Even though it meant that Angelie would be separated from Minatsu, she hid her true feelings whenever she was in front of the child. Angelie understood in her mind that this was for the best, and that Minatsu couldn't stay with her forever. Still, she wished she had more time with Minatsu.

After dropping off Minatsu at the day care center, Angelie went outside of the gate and started to head toward her apartment. Suddenly, someone called out to her from behind.

"Excuse me… Are you Fukushuu-san?"

It was a woman in her thirties. She had long, straight light-brown hair.

"Yes… That's me. May I ask who you are?"

Angelie asked the woman when she turned around.

"I'm… Minatsu's mother. Can we talk?"

The woman was looking at the ground before slowly looking up and gazed at Angelie in the eyes.
