Chapter 3300 The Ceremony

"Is that what you're worried about?" Matthew looked at the frail woman, mentally cursing himself for drinking. Normally, he'd have immediately picked up on her unease, but the alcohol had dulled his senses. Channeling his spiritual power, Matthew expelled the lingering alcohol from his body, forcing out droplets of liquid that reeked of liquor.

"Ma'am, rest assured. If Cole follows me, I'll make sure he's well-fed. At least three meals a day," Matthew said with a reassuring smile.

The woman froze for a moment, her eyes wide with disbelief. She looked up at Matthew, tears welling in her eyes, and immediately moved to kneel before him.

"Ma'am, there's no need for that!" Matthew quickly caught her, stopping her from kneeling.

He wanted to take his mother away from this place. He was tired of seeing new wounds on her hands every time she worked.

"Ma'am, if you don't stand up, I'll be leaving right now," Matthew said, his voice light but firm as the frail woman continued trying to kneel.
