With these thoughts, Xavier stiffly stood up and slowly walked outside, eventually disappearing into the dark twilight.

His entire demeanour exuded loneliness and desolation, blending seamlessly with the chilly winds of early

Milly finally managed to get Apollo to sleep. She was completely exhausted and it felt like a battle.

She had no choice but to stay.

Apollo was clearly very tired, his little head nodding, but he struggled to keep his eyes open to ensure she was still by his side. Only when he saw her did he finally close his eyes, but soon he would open them again to check.

After two hours of this back and forth, Apollo finally fell into a deep sleep. Milly rubbed her stiff neck and let out a heavy sigh.

Indeed, no matter the age, putting a child to sleep was an arduous task.

She quietly left the room and was about to head back to her own when a voice called out from behind. “Ms. Milly, please wait for me.”
