"It's just that they are too insatiably greedy, " Sebastian said emotionally.
There were too many insatiably greedy people in this world. To have a son that could continue the family line, the Payne family did not hesitate to snatch away forty years of someone else’s happiness, which led to Elsa becoming a nun while thinking of her son all the time.
Vireo nodded, then smiled and said miserably, "That's right. I wanted to do my part in taking care of them, but they just can't let me go. Maybe that’s just my life. Forget it. Just let them be. It's fine if I just turn a deaf ear. What mattered to me the most is my knowledge in medicine, my wife, and also my mom."
After saying that, Vires looked at Minerva again. "There's Minerva as well."
He had only known Minerva for a few days, but the child had been addressing him as her uncle and Isadora as her aunt every day. After she had met Vireo's mother, she also addressed her as her grandmother. It was as if she was the Payne family's little beloved child. Vires then took her as his daughter. She was very caring, and from time to time, she was even able to be his assistant. He could even tell that someone was going to inherit his skills as a doctor and surgeon in the near future. It was only natural that he wanted to protect this niece of hers.
"My wife, my mother, my niece, they are m y family," Minerva repeated himself.
"Uncle, you have me as well!" Aino followed along and made trouble.
"Me too, me too!"
"I-I also want..."
"Me too..."
One after another, a group of about five children shouted in front of Vireo asking him to protect them. Vireo’s heart melted when he saw the children babbling.
