Smile of Heaven remained motionless, her head empty.
How many times had she imagined this moment?
Ever since Shadow revealed that somewhere out there, in the vast and dreadful world of the Nightmare Spell, there was an abandoned girl who was her daughter… how many times had she imagined meeting her?
At first, Smile of Heaven imagined their meeting with trepidation. She had turned out to be a pathetic mother, after all — worse than pathetic. There were mothers who abandoned their children, and there were those who despised and mistreated them. But how many mothers were there who did not even know that their child existed?
In that regard, Smile of Heaven had achieved quite a singular feat.
She could have found some solace in the hollow fantasy that her daughter had lived a good life even without her — the girl would have been raised by her husband and the elders of the Immortal Clan, after all. But Shadow had crushed that fantasy before it could even form.
