Chapter 326: Enlightenment (1/2)

”It's fine. It's fine. Everything is going to be alright.” Nella couldn't help but let out some tears, knowing how hard it was for Theo.

He had been fending off by himself since he was still a child.

Just simple family support would actually make his life a hundred times better. He didn't need to have a big house or money… He just wanted someone to be there for him.

Even if they needed to live in a small apartment while barely fulfilling their stomach, it was fine. At least, he knew he had a home to return to.

After reaching this point, his only hope was to meet his last family member and go home together. Unfortunately, reality hit him hard.

His parents turned out to be alive and never cared about him this whole time. It was easy to meet him with their status, so he knew his parents never visited him.

And the last member of the family was actually not a blood-related brother.

All of those hit him hard, wreaking havoc on his heart.

Nella tried to calm him down by hugging him. She waited for a moment and gently said, ”Theo. I know that my words may be hard to believe since everything is crumbling apart in your head. I also know that you may have some trust issues after this.

”Still, I want you to know that I will always be your family. If you don't know where to go, my place will always be open for you. If my father doesn't accept you, we can just leave the house for a while. I can't do many things, but I can lend you my ears.”

Theo didn't reply or move. He simply closed his eyes with mixed emotions in his heart.

Even when Nella gradually laid down on the bed while embracing him, Theo didn't show any reaction.

Nella continued, ”You know… When I told my father I wanted to help him become the family head, my father broke my heart. He literally told me it was impossible.

”I had a grudge back then, thinking my father discriminated against me because I'm a woman. However, I soon learned the truth. It turned out there's someone more capable than me.

”My father called me a little genius of Magic Control, but my father once called you the genius of Adaptability. Have you ever thought you can learn many things easier than others? It's your talent. It's not smart or whatsoever.

”At that time, I idolized you because I wanted to work with such an amazing person. If you became the family head, I wanted to be someone supporting you. I wanted to see what kind of scene flash before your eyes. I wanted… many things.
