Mother, I Crave Violence

Chapter 54 - Mother, I Crave Violence

Meanwhile, Carn and Wong materialized in Jasmine's abandoned house. The dimly lit interior felt eerily quiet, save for Wong's pained groans.

Despite his anger, Carn focused on his mother's well-being. Gently, he placed his hand over the wound on her back, channeling a gold mark into a healing miracle. A warm golden light radiated from his fingertips, stopping the bleeding and knitting the torn flesh back together.

Wong, still conscious, groaned softly. Teleportation had left her disoriented and nauseous. She attempted to speak.

"Carn… are you hurt?"

"I'm fine," Carn's voice cracked because of his suppressed emotion. His hands trembled as he worked, "Just stay still. You'll be alright."

Wong fell silent, trusting her son. Her vision slowly cleared, taking in the shadowed surroundings. She noticed the tight lines on Carn's face and the flicker of sadness in his eyes. A soft, bitter smile tugged at her lips.
