Chapter 173 (1/2)

This is bad. Noah stopped walking and plastered a kind smile on her face. “Go down, Mu. Walk with your feet.”

“No!” Muell refused.

“Will you come down? You’re heavier than you look.”

The boy whined, wrapping his arms around Noah’s neck tightly. Noah attempted to tear herself from his grip, reeling from the weight of the child, but Muell began to sputter a gibberish excuse. “But uncle Kyle said Noah should be a little healthier. You should gain weight, exercise… Wake up when the sun rises, sleep when the sun sets, eat three meals a day.”

“That’s what Kyle said?” Her eyebrow arched.

“That’s what uncle Kyle always says.”

“Hmm.” She embraced Muell again, pretending she couldn’t win against him. Behind her indifferent facade, an emotion faintly soared. I don’t think I regret coming to this world. This is a much happier life than the one I had.

“So what else did Kyle say about me? Well, what did he think of me? Does he want to quit his real job and work at my place…  No, well. I’m not asking because I’m curious,” Noah hummed.

“He often talks about keeping Noah well.”

“I kind of like that a little. What more?” she inquired.

“To please listen carefully.”

As her steps furthered while they talked, Noah felt at one point that the door she was searching for was near. It was as if an unseen force was pulling her body right to it. Then, she turned left as though she was drawn to the opposite pole of a magnet. Not long after, she found a large sphere that sparkled brighter than any other star in the vast universe.

She placed Muell down and approached the blazing sphere, extending her arms outward. As soon as the tip of her finger touched against the orb, an intense golden light flashed. It devoured her.
