"Please don't leave me. I was out of options. It was the best thing I could do for both of us," Mrs C spoke as she started crying.
At the same time, she fell to Muku's feet and grabbed his leg tightly. It seemed she was afraid he would walk away.
Muku looked down at her with shock in his eyes. Sadness took over soon after. After all, he could practically feel her pain.
And she was a being who could basically do anything. Yet there she was, crying at his feet. If that wasn't true parental love, then he didn't know what was.
"Please get up, Mother. I do not hate nor feel indifferent towards you. I also won't leave you. You're my one and only mother. And if anything, I should thank you for what you did. After all, I'm sure you had your reasons. I didn't bring this matter up to make you feel bad. I just wanted to clear things up between us before I left. I wanted to leave you as my mother, not my adoptive mother," Muku explained as he helped her up.
