Taiyi knew that what she just suggested wasn't going to click with Felis but she said it nonetheless.
"Why? Are you afraid that I will end up killing your good son?" Felis mocked. "Because given a chance, I would!"
Taiyi didn't like his response. "No Felis. You got me wrong. I don't want either of my sons to be killed. The loss would be mine and only mine. If you can't understand that, then I really don't have anything to add further."
Felis whipped his head up to see her and found that she was crying. Crease formed in his forehead. He had never imagined that his mother would even cry for him. He was sure that the day she would meet him, she would reject him or deny him or refuse to talk to him because she would remember what his father did to her, but here she was—crying for him.
