Chapter 313: Acceptence and forgiveness...
Capital City Astra, Core Area, Croft Mansion.
'Er, should I really be here right now? I kind of feel that I came here at the wrong time...'
Link couldn't help but scratch the back of his neck in embarrassment when the other's totally ignored his existence and started to enjoy the family reunion.
'I-I guess I should just shut up for now...'
Link stopped thinking too much and sipped the juice while the Croft family celebrated their reunion.
...
"Mom... I can't believe you are finally up... I am so happy... I have been waiting for years..." Raji held her mother's hand tightly in fear that she might leave her again; her eyes remained moist, and the 'Strongest Frost Mage' of the human race was nowhere to be seen at the moment.
At that moment, Raji seemed like just any other daughter who had finally met her mother after years.
Raji refused to use Damian's last name, so she used her mother's surname for herself and Riya. That's why they have 'Croft' in their surname, not 'FrostFlake'.
Farah looked at her daughter with moist eyes and said,
"You have become so much taller since I last saw you... You have become one of the strongest people in our empire.... I am proud of you, Raji..."
Raji couldn't help but hug her mother at that moment; even Riya was surprised that day.
She has never seen Raji cry in the past decade.
Raji has always acted mature and trustworthy in front of Riya, so it was very surprising to see such a defenseless and weak side of her today.
"Sis, uh... you see... I and Link thought that maybe mom wasn't waking up because she wanted to meet Father... so uh... we invited her in the morning, and it seems to have worked..."
When Damian held Farah's hand and said that he was here to see her, Farah was surprised and woke up at that very moment.
Even Link and Riya were shocked by that scene.
This just proved that all this time, their mother was in a coma just because she didn't want to live in a world where Damian wasn't alive.
She refused to believe the reality and thus fell into a coma.
Even when her daughters tried to wake her up, she didn't; only when Damian himself came to her did she finally open her eyes.
Given the significance of the event, they initially intended to inform Raji as well, but ultimately decided it would be more effective to organize a surprise event for tomorrow.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
But nothing went according to plan; Raji returned home earlier than expected, and she found out everything.
Although everything doesn't seem to have gone according to plan, Raji is still calm and not angry, so all is well.
"I-i..."
At Riya's words, Raji was left with no words.
She hated Damian because his absence caused Farah to fall into a coma, but now that he has cured their mother, Raji has no reason to hate him at all.
He indeed did leave them for ten years, but that wasn't his fault either. All in all, there were no more reasons to hate Damian, and even Raji couldn't get angry at him now.
Raji gripped her mother's hand tightly and gazed at Damian for a moment before speaking. "T-thank you... for helping her..."
At those words, Damian nodded his head and gave a dry laugh.
"N-no worries... I just wanted her to be fine..."
Link and Riya also heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that Raji wasn't angry at them for letting Damian enter the mansion without her permission.
Seeing that it was the best chance, Damian said in a nervous tone,
"Uh... Raji... I am really sorry for what I made you all go through. I-I acknowledge my mistakes... I want to make up for the time that we lost... I would like to make amends..."
Raji didn't interrupt Damian at that moment, which clearly showed that she had accepted his 'sorry'.
Seeing that he was successful, Damian continued...
"Uh, aside from that... Ever since the day I got out of that dungeon... I wanted to say this to you... As a father, I am very very proud of you, Raji..."
"Not only did you take care of your family extremely well in my absence, you even became the pillar of support for the whole nation..."
"You know... sometimes I feel that I must have done a lot of good in my past life to have an amazing daughter like you..."
Riya also tightly grasped Link's hand and spoke.
"Yes, I love him even more than my candies!... er.. I mean more than those ultra-rare ones
too!!"
Farah nodded her head happily.
Then she suddenly thought of something and asked,
"By the way, you have already found someone as perfect as Link; then what about your sister?
Does she also have someone?"
Riya shook her head at those words and said,
"No, she uh... kind of had a heartbreak once in college where her boyfriend was deceiving her... After that, she seems to have become immune to the approaches of others..."
Just when Farah was about to say something, Raji walked over to the rooftop. A rare smile
hung on her face.
She walked over to Link's side, looked into Riya's eyes with a playful look, and said it with a
smile.
"Well, if I were a bit younger, I would have taken Link for myself, you know.... He's such a fine
man afterall..."
Link only gave a dry laugh at those words, slowly backing away from Raji.
Riya pouted her cheeks and tightly hugged Link's arm before saying,
"No, he's mine! I won't give him to anyone! Not even you!"
Raji ignored her words and shrugged her shoulders before saying, "Well, what do you say, Link? When you become an adult, you can choose anyone to stay
with... I am just a few years older than Riya and am better than her in all aspects-" Before Raji could complete her sentence, Riya chased her with an annoyed pout on her face.
But Raji also smiled and ran away with a happy look on her face,
"You can't catch me with those slow legs-, how about working a bit on stamina!"
The two sisters caused a lot of chaos by running around in the whole house that night.
Farah looked at her two daughters, who were messing with each other, and said with a smile
on her face,
"I am grateful that things have become better... It seems life has given us a new chance..."
Link also nodded his head at those words and said,
"Yeah, I am also grateful that I met wonderful people like you all..."
