Silas's POV
"Little fighter, wake up,"
Theron said while petting Velric. Velric's eyes slowly opened, but as soon as he woke up, his facial expression suddenly changed.
He had been smiling at first, but the moment he saw Theron, he quickly moved away from him.
"I hate Papa and Daddies! I don't want to talk to them!"
Velric suddenly shouted. Hearing him, Theron looked confused, and it was a little upsetting that Velric was saying he hated him.
Standing at the door, I understood why Velric was behaving like this. Because of what happened last night, Velric must have heard Kael's name too.
He must have realized that Kael had sent those six men to hurt me, and in his eyes, none of the people he once called Dad and Papa had come to save me.
Of course, he hates them now.
I quickly stepped in, and as soon as Velric saw me, he spread his arms like he wanted a hug.
"Mumma!"
I picked him up in my arms.
