Chapter 214 Just a Normal Child When Camila reached him, she realized that there was a bruise on his face. “South… what happened
to your face?” She was breathless when she asked the question, her face filled with fear. South
brushed her hand that was on his face away. “It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.” A storm was brewing in
Camila’s eyes. “Did Lyla do that to you?” South tried to console her, “It doesn’t hurt at all, mommy. Why
were you so late? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Camila choked immediately upon hearing
that. “My phone’s out of battery. We only found out that you’re here after checking Silas’s phone. She
hugged South tightly as she tried not to cry. When Camila hugged him, his shoulders contracted
instinctively, but he remained immobile as he was being embraced by her quietly. Silas also felt sorry
for him. Even though they had given him some fresh clothes to change into, it showed how much of a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmess South was at the beginning. After a long time, he finally retracted his gaze from South and looked
at other people in the conference room. “Thank you for saving him!” Lone Wolf smiled. “Don’t worry
about it. It’s our pleasure.” Then, South held Camila’s hands as he brought her over to introduce
everyone.
“Mommy, this is Lone Wolf, the person in charge of Will-oʻ-Wisp Headquarters, and this pretty lady is
Peacock. That is Python, and this is Leopard. They are all our core members here.” Then, he pointed
at Silas and Camila as he introduced them. “This is my mommy, Camila, and this is Uncle Silas, Silas
Nolan.” Silas nodded once more. “He’s still young, so please take good care of him. If you need any
help, you can look for me anytime.” Lone Wolf took a step forward. “Don’t worry. Wily Rabbit is very
smart. He was able to reach this position all because of his own capabilities.” Camila looked at them
gratefully. “I really thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. If you guys hadn’t arrived in time, I
really don’t know what the consequences would have been.” Lone Wolf replied, “Don’t mention it. Wily
Rabbit is very close to us. He has also helped us out a lot, and we have always treated him like family.”
After exchanging some pleasantries, they finally touched on the main topic. Camila asked, “Where’s
Lyla? She’s the woman who kidnapped South.”
“She’s in the basement of our headquarters. Do you want to see her? I can bring you there,” Lone Wolf
replied. “Sure,” Camila said. With that, she looked at Silas. “Stay here with South, Silas. I’ll be back
soon.” Silas frowned in worry. “Don’t you need me to accompany you?” A cruel look flitted across
Camila’s eyes as she said coldly, “It’s fine. I can settle it on my own!”
South reminded her, “Mommy, don’t use your own hands to attack her. It’ll hurt you!” Camila caressed

Camila had left, Silas walked to South slowly and bent down. Without another word, he immediately
hugged him tightly in his embrace. Then, he slowly patted South’s back to comfort him. South remained
immobile. In fact, it was impossible to state that he was not afraid at all. It would only make his mother
worry if he said it out loud, and he didn’t want others to laugh at him. After he escaped, he retained his
composure so that the rest couldn’t tell that he was afraid. As long as he pretended to be brave, no one
would know that he was actually terrified.
However, when he was enveloped in Silas’s wide arms and shoulders, he couldn’t regain his
composure anymore. I can’t cry! I can’t cry in front of others, and I don’t dare to cry! Right now, he just
wanted to be a normal child. Even though he was afraid, he would not cry out loud. He merely lowered
his head and buried it in Silas’s embrace so that no one else could see his face. After glancing at the
both of them in the conference room, Peacock nudged the others. “Let’s go!”
