'Why is she asking this?' Xavier wondered, puzzled by his mom's sudden question.
"Yep. I'm fine," he said.
"That is good to hear," Anna replied, pulling out a chair and sitting down.
"Why did you suddenly ask about my health?" he asked.
"What do you mean? Can I not even ask how my own son is doing?" Anna said with a slight frown.
"N-no, it is not like that," Xavier stuttered, raising his hands defensively.
'Please do not tell me she's going to hit me again, right?'
"Huhu~"
"Huh?"
"Huhuhuhu~"
"Um… Mom? Are you okay?"
'Why is she laughing all of a sudden?'
Anna laughed for nearly a minute before finally calming down.
"I am fine, son. It is just that… you reminded me of your father a bit," she said with a small smile.
"Father…" Xavier echoed. Even though he now knew who his father was, the word still felt unfamiliar to him.
"Do you want to know more about him?" Anna asked.
"What? Really?" Xavier said, his voice laced with confusion.
"Yes."
