Chapter 1717


    After getting back to the monastery, the old monk was all over the ce.


    He started confessing sins like there’s no tomorrow,


    The old monk can’t get Larkin’s confession out of his head. Those wicked thoughts that made Larkin


    unable to stick around the monastery, that filled his heart with doubts and anger


    Larkin had always been a well-behaved kid.


    But only the old monk knew how stubbom he was deep down.


    Once he’d made up his mind on something, he was as solid as a rock.


    No matter what the old monk said, he couldn’t sway him.


    So he just gave up.


    He just cut the cord between them, ending their teacher-student rtionship


    He let Larkin live the life he wanted.


    The old monk stayed in the monastery, confessing for both Larkin and himself.


    In a blink of an eye, a decade passed.


    And out of nowhere, Larkin’s back


    But the old monk was full of wories


    He’s scared he won’t be able to ept Larkin, who no longer belonged here.


    There was this one thing the old monk couldn’t let go of, no matter what


    He knew that some things were just bound to happen.


    He knew he couldn’t change anything, couldn’t change Larkin’s mind


    The nun walked in with her head down.


    Normally, the nun was scared to death of the head monk and the old monk.


    But today…she just quietly asked if they were okay.


    The head monk snapped her back to reality. “Were you daydreaming?”


    The moment the nun looked at the head monk, all her pent-up frustrations were released and she burst


    into tears.


    “What happened?”.


    The old monk quickly bent down to check on her


    “1 miss my mom” the nun sobbed.


    The head monk was left speechless


    The girl was sent to the monastery as a baby


    She’d never even seen her mom.


    What the hell is going on?


    “What did Erica tell you?” the head monk asked, clearly not a fan. “Damn her, first she made Larkin


    leave the monastery for ten years and now she’s picking on the hunt


    “No! As soon as the head monk badmouthed Erica, the nun got defensive.


    “Howe you suddenly miss your mom? You’ve never even met her the head monk questioned.


    Hearing this, the nun cried even harder.


    The old monk gave the head monk a re, took the nun’s hand, andforted her, “Don’t cry, my


    child. Tell me what’s bothering you, okay?”


    The nun nodded, choking back tears.


    Then, still crying, she followed the old monk.


    The head monk trailed behind them, not daring to say a word


    Soon enough

    The old monk handed her two slices of watermelon, which finally stopped the nun’s tears


    After a few bites of watermelon, the nun sobbed, “Erica is not a bad person


    The old monk was taken aback


    “Other monks said that Erica was trouble when they talked about Larkin.” The nun sobbed again, “But


    she’s not. She’s really nice!


    The old monk patted the pun’s head, “Because she reminds you of a mother, you mus your mother?”


    The nun pouted and started crying again


    Most of the people at the monastery were sent there as children.


    Growing up without your parents is tough.


    There are things you inevitably miss out on, like a mother’s love


    Finally, the head monk understood why the nun was so upset


    “There, there, stop crying. If the bornes again, 17 be the head mrek
