Chapter 340

staring at his beloved woman for a while, he quickly retracted his gaze.After that, he began to share the story of what happened back then in Manchernius with the professors.While he was explaining the entire situation, he didn’t spare any details and had no intention of dodging the responsibility.Being Christopher’s mother, Madeline broke down into silent sobs after listening to the events that her son had experienced.“Oh, my son! My beloved Christopher! Why are you so unfortunate?” Madeline wept in agony. When she saw Xavier kneeling before her, she couldn’t help but reach her hands out to hit him, although she had tried her best to resist the urge. She wailed, “Why didn’t you control yourself?
