Lily blinked up at him, her expression clouding with sadness. “Home? I don’t have a home… she murmured, her voice trembling.

Hearing her words, Ethan’s chest tightened. He knew everything about her struggles and the loneliness she carried in her heart. It pained him to see her like this, and he silently vowed to erase every trace of sorrow from her life.

He was about to say something, but a familiar voice interrupted the moment.

“Ethan! I’ve been looking for you everywhere, and I-
