Mother, You're So Beautiful...

Under the starry night sky, Amy held Ugly Duckling in her arms as she looked up with a hint of nervous yearning in her eyes.

Mag felt as if a sharp knife had been driven into his heart at the sight of the yearning in Amy's eyes. He had thought that he had already done a good job as a parent, but Amy still yearned for her mother. It was just like when she was sleeptalking last time; the desire for maternal love was not something that she could hide.

Mag didn't know what Amy's concept of her mother was like, as he had been avoiding the topic this entire time. He didn't want Amy to realize that their family was incomplete, as that would only bring her sadness and misery.

However, it appeared that his efforts were in vain. She had already made that realization for herself, and only refrained from mentioning it as she could sense that Mag was reluctant to touch the topic.
