126 – Atonements

Seb kept trying to give the baby artificial respiration. Kat couldn't help but freeze and shed tears, showing her expressionless face again.

The minutes have passed. All that could be heard was the sound of a blizzard outside.

Leva got up with difficulty, then limped to hug the amber-eyed girl.

Seb applied the final pressure to the little human's chest, then gasped. After a few seconds of silence, he finally looked at Kat with a gloomy expression, shaking his head slowly. "I'm sorry."

Kat knelt down, covering her face with both hands. Her cries began to echo.

The baby seemed to be sleeping peacefully. No one would have guessed that he was dead.

Tears welled up in my eyes again. Why? I thought we would be given a chance to atone for our sins by raising this tiny human.

It's too cruel.

Seb wiped a tear from his eye, then covered the poor baby's face.

If only the baby's mother was still alive, she would have been able to take good care of this tiny human.
