Chapter 233: Come Back Safe
Mira stepped closer to her son and spoke in a low voice as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Jason... where are you going?"
Jason blinked in surprise when his mother asked him this. Jason hadn’t said anything about going anywhere, so how in the world did his mother suddenly know about that? Jason ran a hand through his hair and released a calm sigh before he gave his mother a smile.
"I’m not going anywhere dangerous, mum."
"Don’t you lie to me, Jason! You’re lying to me! You look like you’re about to disappear!"
Mira could see the hard resolve in Jason’s eyes, and she knew that he only had that look when he was completely dedicated to doing something. She felt like this might be the last time she would see her son!
Jason took his mother by the shoulder and leaned down to kiss the top of her head. Mira joined her hands together and put them to her chest, and she closed her eyes desperately as she listened to Jason’s heartbeat. It was the only thing grounding her at that moment and preventing her from breaking down. Mira didn’t know what she would do if Jason vanished like Richard.
"I’ll be back before you even know I’m gone, mum. Don’t worry about me."
"Promise me... Promise you’ll come back."
Mira said this while putting her hand over Jason’s heart, and Jason looked up at the figure standing on the other side of the living room. His sister was leaning against the door while watching the two of them, and Jason felt his eyes narrow into a glare once he saw her. Jason had to bury the anger in his heart as he turned away from her and spoke to his mother in a soothing voice.
