Chapter 478 It's Been a While

• Elspeth felt rather unsteady on her feet then. After understanding how cruel the experiment was, Elspeth couldn’t accept the idea of putting her mother through it. Haris could tell that Elspeth was hesitating, so he stepped forward and gently tapped her on the shoulder. His voice sounded as gentle and warm as always. "You’re my disciple, Elspeth. I don’t want to do anything that would make you sad. However, you should also know that my granddaughter had to go through a lot of suffering. I wouldn’t be able to face my ancestors if anything happened to her."
• Even though Haris sounded like he was giving Elspeth some advice, his words were actually said to his own benefit. Elspeth was well aware of this, yet she couldn’t bring herself to utter the harsh words she intended to say earlier. "I know you might find it hard to accept the truth, and I know you might think I’m lying to you. I can’t do much if you don’t believe me," Haris added.
• "I trust you." Elspeth’s gaze glinted as she spoke.
