Chen Lun pulled his thoughts back and estimated the time, realizing that the ten-minute limit he had set for his visit was almost over. He sighed softly, crouched in front of Noah, and gently placed a hand on the young man's shoulder as he said in a deep voice:
"Noah, I must go now, you might need to stay here a bit longer, but don't worry, both your mother, Her Majesty Blaze, and I are trying to find a way to get you out..."
"I know... I trust you, Mr. Jack."
Noah seemed to sense the apology in Chen Lun's tone, but he did not want Mr. Jack to worry about him, so he forced a smile and said:
"Please don't tell Mother about my current state, okay? I have always... always been a concern to Her, but I don't want to see Her saddened by me anymore."
"I promise you, Noah."
Chen Lun nodded gently.
Noah's bright eyes, shining in the dark, conveyed his gratitude to Chen Lun.
