I Ended Up Saving My Crazy Stepfather - Chapter 130.1

“The old couple who picked up and raised Harris, and the old couple who protected Elin until the end were nonexistent. Maybe until recently, the person who casted black magic recently disappeared, and that’s why the truth came out.”

“What if I had just kept Harris with me…?”

“If things hadn’t gone this way, there would never have been a chance. If that were the case, Harris would’ve ended up my daughter and we wouldn’t have known anything.”

Dad’s touch became more determined than before. There was a small sigh from time to time, but I felt more comfortable than before.

“If Bebe hadn’t come here… I would’ve lived like that too. Harris must have been used over and over again. I’m fortunate in that respect.”

“Really…”

“Anyway, that alone was a great help to us.”

I felt something tickle in my chest.

Did I come here to help my dad? Am I the one who will change the future with my mom? I thought about it, but it seemed to have helped a little… no, quite a lot.

A smile spread across my face.

“You must be having a good dream, my daughter.”

“Bebe… I sleep better as time goes by. I used to wake up from sleeping but knowing how cute you are, I wake up with your ears on my chest or your hand on my nose, like you’re worried I might be dead.”

She seemed to have caught my behavior, which became a habit. Mom had always passed away and died many times. She could always die overnight, so I would wake up out of anxiety and check if my mother was alive. The sound of my mom’s heart beating always relieved me.

But Mom is still around this time.

But…

“I hope you have a good dream. Bebe is a child, but she often doesn’t seem like a child. I want to protect my child’s smile.”

“Me too. Bebe… the child of my ex-wife…”

“Intentionally or unintentionally, Bebe has taught us a lot, and now it’s time for us to use it. It’s time to put an end to everything based on what we know.”

That was the end.

Dad, who seemed to have spat out each word carefully, didn’t open his mouth for a long time. Same with my mother.

It was silent. The situation became so quiet that I wondered if the two had gone out and left me behind.

I didn’t know what my mom and dad had been doing with my eyes closed, but I could only hear breathing from time to time, as if they were deeply concerned. I wanted to open my eyes for a long time and look, but I held back the urge and waited.

‘Ha… What are you doing?’

It was really frustrating. I was about to open my eyes slightly, but I held back, fearing that the two of them might have known and were looking at me.

After the boring time of only hearing deep breathing, Dad finally opened his mouth.

“I have to go now.”

Where are you going? Are you saying you’re leaving now? Was that it?

But as if it wasn’t the end, my mom carefully moved.

“…Is it really okay?”

As if they had already talked about this, my mom was not as surprised as I thought.”

“Adele, I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Please. Why do I feel like I don’t even hear from you?”

A lonely voice came out of my mom’s mouth.

“But you have to listen because you’re the only one I can ask for this.”

“Please…”

“Please take care of the children.”

“Xenox!”

I almost opened my eyes in an instant at my mother’s cry. Her voice trembled more than usual, as if I weren’t the only one who felt my heart sinking.

Even I stopped pretending to be asleep.

Fortunately, they didn’t seem to notice my change. No, my father was busy appeasing my mother because she was more agitated than me.

“You’re the only one.”

“That’s…”

“You are their mother, the children’s mother. You’re my wife, too.”

“I know, I’m just sorry.”

Dad’s hand trembled slowly when I peeked.

“Sorry, don’t do that…”

“I can’t come back. If… If that’s the case…”
