A beautiful woman stepped into the path of the attack before I could relieve the young man of his head. She had strikingly long white hair and a face one could only imagine on a goddess. I immediately froze when I saw her, and so did everyone else.
The first person to react was Lily, whose face lit up with a bright smile as she jumped out of Allison's arms.
"Mama~"
My mother smiled when she saw Lily jumping towards her and caught her mid-air and began showering her with kisses, while we all stood in a daze at her sudden appearance. Even the young man, who was radiating enough killing intent to make the air heavy, stopped in his tracks when he saw her.
"I missed you so much, baby," she squealed as she hugged Lily, who was giggling loudly.
After she finished embracing Lily, she turned to us, particularly Derrick, who still had his feet on the young man's head, pressing him to the ground.
"Let him go, Derrick."
"Mom? What are you—"
