Hayes watched Yuna's face with a heart full of hope, feeling a sourness at the tip of his nose, and his eyes brimming with tears, ready to spill over in helpless sorrow.
Yuna simply pulled Hayes into a warm embrace.
"Oh, you silly boy, I'm your momma, and I'm your kin. How could I ever not love you?"
Hearing her words, Hayes’ tears flowed freely, unrestrained. But what he didn't know was just how much malice and venom lurked in the so-called "kin's" eyes at that very moment!
The following morning.
After everyone had left the Winston Mansion, Yuna quietly took Hayes off to the hospital.
She knew she could find a way to draw Hayes' blood, no matter what. But she still took the chance and brought Hayes in for a blood compatibility test.
If the life of this little bastard could save Manley's life, then it’s even better.
As they waited for the results, Yuna stood by the window, her gaze fixed outside, while Hayes sat silently on a bench in the corner.
Suddenly, he saw Manley, dressed in a hospital gown, rushing out of nowhere, grabbing his hand and dragging him toward the exit.
"Mute! Why did you even come to the hospital? You've got to get out of here!"
Hayes was bewildered, looking at him without understanding.
"You're such an idiot! A big, big idiot! Get out of here, now!"
Manley was frantic, sweat beading on his forehead as he pushed Hayes toward the elevator.
Hayes clung to a railing, opened his mouth, and with difficulty and said, "I want to save you!"
"Who needs you to save me! I don't need your saving! If you don't leave now, it'll be too late!"
For the first time, Manley showed concern for Hayes.
After all, everyone starts out good at heart. If only Yuna, his mother, hadn't filled Manley's head with wicked thoughts, he wouldn't be so defiant.
