The Overthinking
It was still vivid in Rowan's memory how the man rudely refused his request to hand over the medicine obtained on another continent for his mother.
(Isn't it that damned wolf's fault for being so arrogant? Humans with such high arrogance are highly likely unable to protect their own families) That was what Maxieno had said to Rowan on the night of the festival.
The man looked like two different people. The contrast in his behavior was too striking.
"Your older sister is the best person I've ever met, right?," Maxieno asked Rowan once again as the young man did not directly answer his question.
Rowan turned to Suri and nodded firmly. "True, you're a great person like our mother, Sis," he replied, making Suri shake her head.
The girl didn't smile. She looked at Sartaq's face, who was now sleeping very soundly. She then got up to take Sartaq back to the bed. The soft little hand touched her cheek so delicately as she put him back.
