Chapter 144: My Mother is Still Alive

"Saved? You mean..." I was in shock with prince Gladiolus words.

"Yes, she was saved. Your mother is alive in Jennova." Prince Gladiolus smiled.

I staggered a little in place and lost my balance. When I was about to compose myself before I fall, I can feel warm hands carefully wrapped around me, assisting me. When I look up, a familar warm face greeted me.

"Will." I called his name in a daze.

"Alicia, are you all right? Do you feel ill? You look pale." William asked in a worried tone.

I shook my head. "I-I'm fine. Thank you for asking Will." I replied. "How about your wounds? Shouldn't you be resting?"

"I have rested all day long. It is not so much hard work to guard you in your afternoon tea." William smiled at me. But then he gazed at prince Gladiolus with piercing eyes. I am sure William had a hunch that I was pale because of something prince Gladiolus said.
