Chapter 256

Daran didn’t realize that this child’s eyes looked just like his.

But he didn’t seem to care about it at all.

“Are you hungry?” he asked the boy.

The boy hesitated and nodded.

“…I haven’t eaten in 3 days,” he said in a frustrated, soft little voice. Daran gritted his teeth. Those goddamn parents deserved to burn in hell!
