Narin still couldn't believe what was happening, even when the villagers offered words of encouragement to Gara.
She almost wanted to scream.
"You and your mother are good people. You'll be able to raise your child well, even without the baby's mother."
"You're part of our village, Sir Healer. You can always ask us for help."
"Once the water here is safe again, your child will grow up happily alongside the other children."
Even Sarah and Teo, approached Gara with an apologetic look.
"Gara, I'm sorry for judging you just because of your child's race."
"Yeah… you clearly helped us without asking for anything in return."
It made Narin want to shout at them, that they shouldn't just accept the presence of a devil so easily.
Devils were still feared, and for good reason, right?
Surely they were still committing the same crimes as they did in the past… weren't they?
But honestly, Narin didn't know. Every horror story about devils came from centuries ago.
