CHAPTER 40

　　The two couples rose and looked at her carefully.

　　They were thinking about how to make her fat now. She was way too skinny up close!

　　The little boy's saviour indeed can't be like this.

　　"Once again, thank you for saving our little Pedro. Without your help, we don't know where or what state we'll be in by now. Thank you very much, Lavana." Carmelia said as she pulled Lavana into an embrace.

　　Lavana felt warmth. She remembered when her mum would give her this big, loving hug.

　　When they broke the hug, Lavana looked like she'd zoned out.

　　The others just waited for her to come back to reality.

　　She must have a really tragic backstory. A hug from Carmelia made her zone out like this. Well, she deserved their waiting.

　　Beatrix walked to Lavana and held her hand, successfully bringing her back to reality.

　　"Beatrix..." Lavana called out softly.

　　"I'm here, big sis."
