Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 2166

In that instant, Vireo shed tears for no reason.

It was not too accurate to be calling the woman in front of him an old lady because she did not look that old. It was just that her calm face had a tinge of unconcealable gloomy expression, which gave the old lady in front of her an indescribable sense of beauty. She was wearing a veil. She was also dressed incomparably plainly, and the hems of her habit were even a little torn. However, that simplicity still was not able to cover up her beauty. Her beauty was pure and untainted. Her beauty had a sense of drastic hardships, and it made people feel endless heartaches. Her face was pale and thin, but pure kindness was showing in her eyes.

Vireo cried for a long time and was not able to speak. The old lady in front of him also had tears streaming down her face, but her face was very calm. "Mister..."

She called him mister as soon as she opened her mouth. Vireo was stunned.

"Mister, seeing that you're already an adult now, my sense of guilt has reduced very much. I think the only purpose for me in the remaining years of my life is to wait to cross over to the other world. No matter what punishment I will be receiving, I will have no complaints. Mister, you no longer need me to worry about anything for you. Therefore, there is no need for you to visit me again. No matter how strong of a bond there is between you and me, it's all in the past now. It doesn't matter if you hate me or if you hate me even more. That is all earthly matters. I had already been a nun for more than thirty years, I no longer care about earthly matters anymore. I hope you won't come to find me anymore in the future."

What she said was not considered heartless. Her helplessness toward the unpredictable changes in the world, as well as her calmness after she had accepted the reality, was showing in between her words.

Vireo stared at the old lady. "This is your responsibility!"

"Yes," The old lady said.

"You're just running away by becoming a nun! You're not willing to take on this responsibility! Since you're not willing to do so, why did you give birth to me?
